Excellent Graphics, Gameplay, and Story. Naysayers are full of it, controls are fine with tweaking, read here for help.
PROS
- Storyline is really good. Sucks you into it. Trust me, I haven't even finished the game and I'm stuck on the story.
- Gameplay is good. Scares the crap out of me even when I know what's coming. Only thing repetitive is the monsters. But think of other shooters...the only thing you get to kill is Nazis.
- Monsters are fairly original. I'm fascinated by the crawling on walls thing. Oh, and the bat looking creature.
- Music/noises. This is the atmosphere, this is what makes the game scary. Without the music, I would just be popping around corners not worrying bout nothing...but the music scares me.
- GRAPHICS are amazing, very advanced. Watching videos here on gamespot just doesn't do justice...when your in big rooms, or in space, look around a little bit, and appreciate. They did really good with the engine.
- Gun selection is good, and the whole "store and buying stuff" idea seemed lame at first, but it makes the game more interesting. You realize that you've gotta conserve ammunition...Stomping is good, although the AI is pretty smart. They'll scoot back if you try to stomp them, it's really annoying.
- Powers, like time-rendering and levitation are really useful, really useful. The controls make them really easy to use.
- Scenes where you are killed are pretty interesting.
- Holograms are really cool, and helpful when gathering ammo.
- ZERO G IS SO FUN!!!
- Lack of cutscenes. I'm on chapter 6, and I've only seen 2 cutscenes so far. Yet story is still awesome...
- NO LOADING SCREENS!!!!! Except for when you first load the game. BUT STILL!!!!
CONS
- No multiplayer... I think... :(
- It sucks being scared, but it's also cool.
- In zero g, the camera angle kinda messes with you, but you just gotta adapt to it.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO NEED HELP WITH THE CONTROLS!!!
When you first come to menu, select options, turn off V-SYNC, that'll get rid of the mouse lag. Now, when you go into the game, the aiming will be really slow, and we can't have that or else monsters gonna be eatin' us alive. Go to options again, Control Settings, and set the sensitivity all the way up. The moust will go crazy fast in the menus, but during the game, it's perfect.
Sweet. Enjoy.
