A must-buy game for any survival-horror fan.
Game play-As said before, you have to use your head for all of the game. Instead of giving you a weapon in every level of the game, you are forced to use your head against the Shibitos, who are the main enemies in the game. That being said, you do gain weapons, but they are worthless. The guns you receive have limited ammo and other weapons aren’t as powerful, but can be used continuously. The enemies cannot be killed due to the ritual, so when you "kill" an enemy, he will kneel down and stay like that for a minute and come back alive. The A.I. for the Shibitos are done very well, whether they will actually team up to find you and surround you. Most missions have you escorting another survivor, but be warned....there not very intelligent and they take about 1 to 2 hits to die.
Sound-The music and the sound effects are just spot-on. The footstep sounds aren't repetitive like in most games in this genre. The voice acting I'll admit is kind of cheesy, but it's done very good.
Difficulty-This game is one of the most difficult games I have ever played. The controls take some time getting used to and you will die a lot. You really need to have the patience to try and beat this game.
Overall-This is a solid game that was never heard of, but if your into Silent Hill, Resident Evil, or any Japanese horror movies, you will definitely find this a terrific game. So go out there and buy a copy of this if you can.
