Just What I Needed

Obscure: The Aftermath was a nice surprise for me. After reading horrible reviews about the game I was pretty worried about putting it on my Q. Well, turns out, the game was pretty fun. A welcome diversion from playing through MGS4 for days. I love survival horror and until Silent Hill and Resident Evil hit PS3 this will have to do. And it's not that bad. The puzzles where medium to easy and the boss battles butter to get through. I have to say, I was absolutely thrilled with being able to finish the game in just about three days. The story was cool, kinda silly, but still cool, the voice talent had some pretty, um, interesting lines, but the game play was nice. I found the first Obscure to be difficult to handle. The camera work was awful, the whole concept of switching characters was weird and took too long to get used to. Not with this game. Much easier to get a handle on and pretty enjoyable for those of us needing a little break of the difficulty of Metal Gear or the Sins of GTA. A good rent with nice graphics and fair story. If ya check it out, when ya beat the game and it gets to the credits, wait for it to stop. Another level opens up at the end.
