    Hard core Resident Evil fan.. Yes it doesn't come close to RE4 & 5, it's still worth playing.. Only up to chapter 3 , but reminds me a lot like Outlast.

    Not super impressed. I thought it would be better considering the people behind it. Probably gonna trade it in.

    This is what I've been waiting for in survival horror. Shinji Mikami is back and all the tension of RE1 has returned in a new format in glorious 1080p.

    Just like the old days when you had to go so far in a game to get to a save point. The Evil Within is just like that. Rage quitting will happen often. This is a hard game, but worth every second.

    If you like games like silent hill you'll enjoy this game. The story line is a little confusing and the game can be difficult to see at times due the dark colors but overall its not bad. I would definitely buy it again and I will play it over and over.

    Scary game, great graphics, fantastic surround sound. Don't play at night unless you want to soil your pants.

    I gave it a 3/5 because even though it has great graphics the game play is difficult to understand sometimes.

    The Evil Within is a pretty good game with a handful of technical problems that keep it from being great.

    This game is best played in the dark. Love the music to it, the dark setting. Had a lot of fun playing it. It scared my son and sister in law.

    I'm a big fan of survival horror and at times this game delivered! But some parts of the game just didn't pan out. Story was just strange. Middle of the game was VERY SLOW. Gameplay can be unforgiving towards the beginning with very limited ammo and resources. Anyone with a weak stomach should just walking. Ultimately the game didn't hold my attention as much as I wanted it to. I'd wait for a price reduction if you really want to try it out.

    This game is crazy. I love it. It's classic survival horror. It's freaky right from the start and has you jumping at your own shadows. I've been waiting for a game like this since the original Resident Evil. THIS GAME IS AWSOME!!!!

    After a long time, after resident evil 4 a game has come that has really kept me going, with not a single moment of lost interest. Amazing game, especially considering not many good games in the horror genre.
