Fans of the genre take a look at this instant classic!
It's actually quite a great balance of puzzle solving, action and scary stuff. I think gamespot judged way too harshly to give it only a 6. It deserve way more than that. Trust me on that, I've seen games that should get a 6 and this is defenetly not one of them.
If you like searching around scary places and shooting things along the way, this is the game for you. Don't be mislead though, It's not a shoot em up kind of game, there are a variety of weapons to use but not a whole lot of ammo to spare, so you might actually try to use some strategy in your wondering around, and you won't find a monster around every corner. Only in the very scary and necessary places.
All in all i think the game was fun, I'm actually looking forward to the sequel. The only two things about this title that I didn't like were the abrupt introduction and all the crashes i experienced while playing.
The reason why I'm saying it starts abruptly is because you straight off the bat find a gun and start shooting monsters in your school's basement like you've known no other as soon as the game starts. I mean come on. Thats a little too hardcore, even for a highschool horror right? Luckily thats only the intro, and you won't find a gun until later in the game.
Last, the crashes. For some reason while i was running this game it would stop loading while moving between areas. I tried downloading the current 1.1 patch but it didn't fix anything. Maybe a new patch will in the future, who knows. It's not a really bad problem though, its tolerable enough.
Anyway, defenetly a solid title. Worth your attention. Enjoy!
