Awesome Game for anyone who likes action
This is one of the most enjoyable games ive ever played. Seriously.

The story is actually very interesting for a game of its caliber, with good twists in it like any horror film should. Speaking of horror... I almost died playing this game. I may be a wimp, but im pretty sure it would give even the hardest of people shudders down the spine. The Girl that follows you through this game is Horrible (in a very good way). This game actually makes you want to stop playing, but keep playing at the same time.

As for the Graphics, they are awesome! You need a fairly decent PC. But Most PC's should handle it on one of the default settings. The dust and sparks that fill a room when you get into a fire fight are extremely impressive, as is the light refraction that some of the enemys use.

The AI In this game is unrivaled (I could be wrong, but i havnt seen anything like this). They think about how to flank the player, communicate, interact with objects in game like sweeping lamps, books, PC monitors off of a desk to get a clear shot at the player and Pushing over filing cabinits over to block doorways (I have actually had an enemy push a cabinit over onto my head...). Extremely cool reactions when you suprise them, for example if you nail one of their friends heads to the wall you hear a "Oh F***!!!" Over the radio!

Up until "Dark Messiah: Might and Magic" came out, this game was the most physically impressive game in my opinion, You can see your own feet and when you Melee, you actually see your whole body do the actions. Its Very cool!

Even if your a wimp i recommend this as a long term challenge for your self, If you do think of yourself as a toughie... Give it a go and you'll see what i mean :p

Overall, Awesome Game, Get it now.

very edgy
this game fools you at first into thinking its a sqaud orientated game however its all solo which can sometimes get annoying as you cannot stand your ground to large groups on enemy soldiers . the weapons were less than satisfactory and the AI of the enemy was very limited who give away there position very early meaning you could dispatch them easy enough with grenades making the only challenging enemy in the game the random ninja things that appear from time to time and machine gun emplacements that appear from the roof . the graphics were good but the levels were very samey just being dark dingy places with blood everywhere. the one admirable quality of this game is if you go into it without reading a walkthrough or knowing much about it will make your hairs raise up on the back of your neck and actually give you a scary thrill like some of the recent doom games only more sinister . this game is good just for a good shoot out but its fun also if you actually get into it as the storyline is pretty good and some scenes are very psychadelic and interesting so it is defonatly worth playing

A great game, but not for kids
This is an FPS, if you don't like FPSs, don't bother, you won't like this.

It is not a squad game, you occasionally see friendly NPCs but you can't do much, or sometimes anything, to help them.

It does tell a supernatural/horror story, and can be scary in parts.

It has not been buggy for me, I don't recall it crashing or slowing once, this is relatively unusual. Something usually happens with games, but this game, there have been no problems whatever for me. With other games, even with great games, there is usually some minor problem, not with this.

It doesn't need a huge machine to run on, I was quite happy with the graphics on a 256MB HD3850, and if you cut the resolution and other graphics options down it will probably run on something quite a lot less powerful than that. In terms of CPU power, the box says 1.7 GHz P4, I don't know whether that's optimistic, but it's unlikely to be hugely pessimistic.

It is is pretty gory, at times the blood seems improbably prominent, given that there are no body parts (almost whole bodies yes, scattered parts, no) associated with it.

It runs quite happily from a non-administrator account under windows XP, a lot of games don't.

Because the story is pretty linear, there is relatively little replayability, I played through the game twice, but so far I haven't felt like playing it again after the second time. Given the current price, it's still very much worth buying.

*** SPOILER ***

There is an oddity, in that if you have a gun, and pick up another gun of the same type, you will get minimal ammunition. However, if you drop your current gun of that type, then pick up the new gun, you get the full load for a new gun of that type, which is more. Then when you can pick up your old gun of that type you will get back all of the ammunition for that type of gun that you previously had. This makes the game more fun in that you're not always hoarding ammunition and frequently running out, which you otherwise might be. I don't understand why they didn't just let you pick up more from dropped guns without messing about, but it does work out okay.
