BEST 360 game I have ever played! Except for minor glitches it was as good as RE4 on the Wii!
There were times where I got impatient and did not want to sit through the talking scenes so I tried to proceed, at these times the game would noot continue or allow me to progress because I didn't stick around for the talk scenes. Making the game completely stop and you could not progress. This happened notably at the house shooting scene towards the end of the game, by not standing to listen to Jimmy the Grape and the Butcher talk I had to restart my checkpoint and play the house shooting scene over and over again for nearly an hour of repeated attempts!!!!! It probably wouldnt have taken me another hour, but I was pissed and impatient6 that I had to do it all over again that I kept dying and having to reply the scene. Had it not been for glitches such as this... a perfect 10 would have been in order!
Another annoyance comes from using the Demon arm, it appeared completely useless at most times, because it can only kill some people and not others, and there is no way to tell who can be killed by it or not. So you will stand there with a gun in your face trying to use the demon arm to rack up your deman arm kills and get the gamerscore but you will have no success and be shot to death by the enemy.... completely stupid that it doesn't kill everyone. It was a useless demon power.
Another annoyance is from using the creeping darkness, it slithers around and sometimes the controlling of it appeared to be off and the snake would not move in the correct direction or become stuck at a dead body or obstacle which would hinder its usage. ANNOYING, but when this feature worked it was completely awesome to slither up behind people and take them out, eat their hearts, and progress around corners.
There were some amazing features in the game, most notably the push button heart eating by the darkness inside of you, racking up 300 hearts made me enjoy killing goons and eating hearts one by one. I enjoyed utilizing the darkness guns, for one touch kills (with the left trigger ad that gun shot a much more powerfull blow compared to the right gun). Enjoyable levelling like the trenches going through the depths of hell to fight nazi German soldiers was a blast, and eating their hearts before they re-energize back to life was a thrill! Also the level towards the end (last part in hell) when you run into the castle and forfeit your demon powers to the hellish machines that extract them from you was amazing. It was SICK, GRUESOME, BLOODY, and AMAZING!!! I had my friend watch me play that scene and he said it was the sickest thing he had ever seen in a game. If you like Horror and blood this is the best part of the game and has the most evil in it.
I would recommend this game to everyone who enjoys horror games. The story is well played out, the levels are great and the killing is awesome. An absolute GEM in my eyes and I found it at 14.99 used in the bin at Blockbuster and could not have been more happy with this choice. The game had a long time to play which makes you feel like you are getting more for your money. Well worth the cheap price and I do not know how people did not jump all over this game, it should be in the top 10 list of all time Xbox 360 games for sure. You WILL enjoy this game!
