Personally, i think it could have been an amazing irreplaceable experience... COULD.. here's why---
I could probably briefly summarize it in two sections- the good and the bad.
THE GOOD
There were moments when it made me jump off my chair! When monsters brake through walls right in front of you, it definitely is fun! Also, the audio effects are great- the choir singing and all the disturbing noises of someone somewhere ..well being "in trouble" let's say. And the music is good too- it all adds up to the creepiness
Another great thing is the way you don't really get STUCK- the game leads you where you need to go so you don't have to wonder around trying to figure out what the heck you should do. It keeps you "progressing" through the game as well as the storyline.
THE BAD
It could have been an amazing irreplaceable experience- i love the concept of leading a group of stereotypical teenagers in a high school with a big dirty secret.. but the storyline IS SO STRAIGHTFORWARD. Not to say it did not have ANY surprises at all but i just have to say - the plot is weak.
Overall, when i saw the screenshots and read the preview of the game i was sure i would love it!!! And i did enjoy it, but it could have been soo much more.
I guess it can be tonns of fun esp. if you're playing with friends, i was just expecting it to have a more in-depth storyline so that's the main reason i didn't love it as much.. it's still worth renting, for sure!
