Dated but overall memorable Romp
This game sticks as close to the sourse material as you can get in a game and being a Cthulhu mythos fan myself I found the game to have awsome depth and originality. The games downfalls are the constant gloomy settings and I found the controls to be a little arkward at times and jumpy.
These downfalls however are made up for in the realistic nature or the game, if you want to shoot somthing you have to look down the barrel of your gun and take carefull aim (A head shot should take down anything nasty beasty) This makes combat tough although the AI is pretty bad and it seems no matter what gun I have the best option is to run into your attacker screaming (Usually at the PC) and blasting away then taking cover to reload. As with all horror games this is best played with the lights out at night and alone, especially when your injured and the creepy effects start to occour like lack of colour or the walls moving all around you and your out of First Aid equipment. The game may be hard as nails but its all a thrill ride from start to finish !
