This was my very first Suda51/Grasshopper Manufacture title, and it was a damn good one. Now, this game isn't going to go down in history as one of the all time greats, but god if it isn't a fun time. This game oozes atmosphere, and going through hell looking for your girlfriend is such a cool plot to play through, if paper thin in terms of subtext and themes. Obviously I would have preferred Suda51's original concept called Kurayami, but alas EA struck again. Regardless, if you like action shooters, and can cope with the fun, but admittedly a little cringy humour, then you should have a grand old time. If you're anything other than a casual gamer though, I'd recommend playing on the hardest difficulty, as easy and normal are a breeze.
