Most lively and unique battle animations in the franchise compared to the series later full-on jump to 3D.

Really fun and rewarding to figure out all the intricacies of the system.

The visuals and atmosphere are fantastic, however I do think that the horror imagery appears so frequently that you become numb to it, so the scares lose their value because there's something scary on-screen basically 90% of the time.

I remember playing this when it was brand new and the motion blur from the camera movements made me feel like I was having a stroke.
