There has not been many “scary” games out there that I have played. There aren’t many out there that I want to play, I am just not one for scary things. I have played Alone In The Dark & Dead Space, so you can see how much I don’t like scary games. So it already says quite abit about the game since I am playing it. Just remember I take my fear of fear into account with this review.

So I bought the game on Steam, as I do with most of the games that I can get on there. I am a very big fan of Steam. So the first issue with the game was actually Steam and not the game itself. It’s the issue I have with all games on Steam. They take all day (eastern time) to release it, so by the time it’s released I don’t have time to play it. Second, most of the games on Steam come out after retail stores have it ready to sell, that’s a downer. Anyways, besides that it installed just fine and opened up quite fast, didn’t need to install anything extra. So let’s get into the game, shall we.

For all those 360 Controller fans out there, as far as I can tell there is no support for it. I don’t really care since this game is a true PC FPS game which I love to use the Mouse and Keyboard with. Controls and settings seem to be dead on without customization. I believe it even had my resolution correct on first attempt. I made sure I maxed out all the settings on 1680x1050 for this review. And it ran amazingly. I didn’t notice any lag or slow downs throughout the whole game. Very nice.

There are many things I like about the gameplay, the slow-mo gunplay, the type of weapons, the way the weapons feel when using them, and the AI. I know many of these things were in the first game, but I never played the first game, so I don’t know if they are new or improved at all. You will have to figure that out on your own. Anyways, I found the AI pretty decent, nothing specail but they aren’t stupid at least, compared to some games these days. When your kicking butt in slow motion with your auto submachion gun, it just feels really awesome. You almost can’t get enough of it.

Now as I said I maxed out all the graphic settings and running it at 1680x1050, and the game ran amazing. It also looks amazing. I don’t know how much of an improvement the graphics are compared to the first game, but according to many fans it’s quite the update. I wouldn’t say its an amazing feeling like I got the first time I played Crysis or Bioshock, but it’s up to par with todays graphics. As well as graphics I found the sound to be pretty, well, creepy. They play the right type of sounds at the right time to scare the crap out of ya. And when it’s not scary music, it’s rock or something like that. I really enjoyed the music, its basically what I would of put in a game if I was creating it. Though people can debate that one depending on preferance. Visuals and sound are for sure 9/10 both.

Now as I said I never played the first one but as fans are stating, and I am also in agreement, this game is quite easy. I beat the game in 5 hours, and I believe the average so far on easy and medium is 4 hours. According to most poeple, and I agree, there really isn’t that much harm. There are really only 2 maybe 3 hard parts, and well they aren’t that hard. Even finding which way you need to go is simple and layed out for you, but I like it that way, I am a wuse J. The other cool thing that came with the game was achievements. The game has built in achievements, which is alright, of course it would of been better if they were GFWL ones, but oh well. I haven’t gotten too many of those, most of them come from online multiplayer matches, and beating the game on different difficulties.

Anyways, overall I really enjoyed the game. I didn’t have any real complaints about it besides it being easy and short, and I really only say that in favor of most people, I enjoy short and easy games lol. Overall its a 8/10 game. You should for sure pick this up and play.
I will update it later with Multiplayer details, if I feel like it.
