Maybe at 1 point this game was unique and fresh....now its just another sci-fi horror game.

Took 5 hours to download from Xbox Live...I really wanted to enjoy this game...lots of great reviews...I wish I could find someone's advice I actually could trust.

Its possible when this game was first released it was unique and fresh, but right now, for me, its simply in a long list of horror sci-fi games that try to 'immerse' you solely with music and darkness...not much different from Dead Space, etc. I managed about 10 hours and then quit....I hoped it would change, but....1 mindless level after another of the same 'find this, find that'...with no feeling for the story....clearly I'm in the minority, but we have to expect more out of a game than this...no?

Good:
1. Graphics - visuals are good; lighting is well done and sets a nice atmosphere.
2. Sound, including voice and music is well done, again adding to the creepy atmosphere.

Bad:
1. Compared to the open world games out there today, this 'world' is laughably puny....1 generic floor after another....go this way, get this thing...sometimes there's a guiding arrow, sometimes not. Feels like old school 90's dungeon crawler RPGs.
2. For me, the story of any game is the key. The story here was lame....plane crashes, you swim to an island, elevator down and you're in an underwater city...someone you can't see starts telling you to do things for him and you do it....this is creativity? How did anyone buy into this story? Immersive?
3. Combat is fairly easy and its made EXTREMELY easy by the fact that when you 'die' you are spawned again 10 feet away and your enemies ARE STILL INJURED!!!! All you have to do is keep attacking and respawning until they're dead...mindless.

That's it...I couldn't take anymore...and I really hate quitting anything, let alone a game.
