Fantastic game and a real big step up from SH1. I think the gameplay itself is fine but could be better, it's way too easy and flushes you with ammo, but it makes changes to the actual controls and feel that make it more responsive and better to fight enemies as opposed to SH1. The story and atmosphere are incredible aswell, I can definitely see how people can say this is their favorite survival horror game. I just think that it doesn't really fulfill in that "survival" aspect. Other than that, great game.
