Very Good

A gritty game with a movie like story

In my opinion the scariest game made to date. What this game does well is immersing you into its dark grungy environments. The sound on this game is outstanding and should be commended. When you can be scared merely by accidentally kicking a trash can, thinking an enemy is near, and then finding out you did it yourself, shows how great the atmosphere is. The story line is decent and aspiring to be movie quality. There are fairly long cut scenes at the end of each chapter which can slow the pace to a screeching halt. The game play is simple and has a great amount of melee with the enemies having the ability to fake strikes to throw your blocking off. It is also a little on the short side, it took me just about 10 hours to complete and has virtually no replay value besides completing the rest of the achievements like finding items you missed the first time around. If your looking for a few hours of great spooky entertainment look no further.

I've soiled myself. This game is the scariest fricken game I've ever played. If you like pant soiling moments you would love this game and I suggest for an immediate rent. Now answer me this, have you played F.E.A.R? If you have, this game is 10 times jumpier, scarier, and action packed. Once again, an immediate rent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is so bloody and so sweet. I had to earn all the achivement points just to show how amazing it was. Plus if you waited the 14+ hours like I did in a smelly Wal-Mart to get your 360. You felt it was worth the wait. Highly Rec.
