A good way to kill a few hours.

The game wasn't too bad overall. I am glad I played it on Gametap instead of buying it though, I finished it within 10 hours easily and there is very little replay value. The squad AI is pretty weak, you can order them over and over to move to a point and they will just stand there being killed. There was little horror in the game, it was very gory but that was about it. The story wasn't bad, just wasn't frightening. The ending was blah, it really needed more to it! Another bad thing was the characters weapons resetting when you switch between them. You would have to sit and select firing rate/bullet type in the middle of battle if you want to go back to the first character, costing you 3-5 seconds of standing around, usually resulting in your bloody death. The game play was pretty good, using cover is a must in a lot of fights. Having mystical reloads of your gun is a nice change from constantly having to scrounge for ammo. You can still run out at some points but your team is generally quick to call in more supplies. The different squad members give you a variety of ways to play, most people should find one they use a lot that fits their style. Improved AI and easier squad commands would go along way to improving things. I enjoyed the game but it wasn't a great horror game.
