Lets set the record straight by saying, that for 2008, this is a great game, yet still flawed. My main issues stemming from the story feeling disjointed and confusing, combined with the repetition of most elements. This is a horror game after all, and while a lot of its scares work from the first few hours, you really just loose a lot of that fear the more you play. Sure the creatures are grotesque in nature, but they really do not feel scary after having clearly displayed that they are not a threat by killing hundreds; and after that, this is just a standard, if not slightly intriguing shooter. The story being the only thing that could have pulled it up, but even that suffers from the same fate as the scares. Starting good, and just falling into a mess of repetitive missions structures, and hard to follow story elements. Still a fun shooter, worth a play if you are into that, but it really could have been so, so, much better for what it is.
