I took a chance on buying this game for the original xbox when it came out, some years ago.
I have always been a big fan of the horror genre and this game plays the horror card quite well.
The controls were somewhat hard to master on the original xbox and I see that it was the same on the PC port. I believe that this was one of the first survival horrors to allow you to move and aim at the same time, which was used to good effect in the tense, cramped firefights in the bellies of the seafairing vessels you frequent in this game.
It's gory, it's tense, it has an interesting twist on where the badguys ceom from and overall, I wish there were more refreshing action/horror titles that were put out.
Sadly, this one went mostly unnoticed, but at least with GameFly's Unlimited Play, they're giving you a shot at a game that could have otherwise snuck past you.
This is a MUST for Resident Evil fans.
