High recommend this game if you are a fan of the Resident Evil series. The only con is that the story ends on a cliffhanger, and the controls/camera are wonky and take some time getting used to.

After picking it on the launch date and have been playing the game for hours. Also getting to Chapter 13 I have enjoyed this game do to its; storyline, limited supplies of ammo & health, customized weapons and upgrading my character make it a all around game for anyone to get the adrinelin going and jumping throughout. Yes, you need to be sneaky and stealthily with some of the bad guys, but have to have the right amount of gun fire with enough ammunition.

Intense atmosphere keeps the game fresh and sets it apart from others in the horror genre. These guys got it right. Play in the dark with headphones if you really want to be creeped out.

One of the better horror class games. Silent Hill and Resident Evil players will enjoy this game. More surprise shock and gore, but enough plot to make it interesting.

A little bit Silent Hill. A lot Resident Evil(which is no coincidence considering it is a game made by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami.) A truly harrowing experience where stealth is the main aspect of gameplay. Quite gory. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I enjoy many survival games the Resident Evil series being my all time favorite, that being said when I asked fellow gamers about this game most compared it to Resident Evil, so I decided to get it. While it does have lots of Resident Evil likeness it doesn't have the "Rubberband" AI that the RE series has so if your struggling with and area suck it up and keep trying to you get past it or in my case decide it's not worth it. I was playing the game on easy and will say I totally lucked out killing two of the many bosses that you come up against in the game but my husband and I (we tend to tag team these games because we have different gaming strengths) couldn't get past the last boss of Chapter 6, and looking ahead that we had 9 more chapters and as we all know each level in any game will increase the difficulty. Now that being said the overall look and play of the chapters we played weren't bad they were indeed well done but I have no use for a game that I have no chance of completing (especially when I'm team playing) so I am trading it in for whatever value the game carries at this point. The creators of the game need to consider having a better AI so that when a player gets stuck playing the same boss or section repeatedly to lighten up to get them through!
