   Sure this isn't the best FPS ever (more on that later), BUT, my friends: a) the plot, the visual & the mood come from Clive Barker, a writer that I personally adore: to be honest the idea of an ancient evil radicated into the history of man so that you can change scenario with a meaning sounds good to me, while you go deeper you go past historical eras and forgive me but this is a fantastic idea; at the same time, you can (and must, to survive) control a whole squad with specific weapons and powers and this is also a great idea (instead of "oh i've found a new great weapon" of the others FPS!); b) levels are linear, enemies come out from spots...but when they do so, emerging from the myst, or a dark tunnel, well, my heart always lose a beat or two: I really don't understand other comments all over the net, this game scares me! (but again maybe its ME); always after a combat I think "wow thanks god there is a save point-that one was pretty hard"; c) bad things: powers aren't always easy to use (you have to place the character with extreme care, in THAT place and not two millimetres away!), an open ending (eh eh, space for a sequel-that's business my friends) and -but that's MY problem- the language translation in italian (totally sucks, I just play in english). To me, this game rocks: if you read Barker, buy it; if you enjoy a game with a marvellous mood, great characters and great plot and don't mind little repetitive schemes... buy it! It's worth it.… Expand

   While it doesn't really push any gameplay boundaries, there is much to like about this game. While a short game there is a LOT of voice work. The art design is exceptional and you never see the same thing twice in the level design. The engine is beautiful. The squad combat, while non-essential, diverts one's attention from just how linear the game is. A small detractor, but the timed button pressing sequences were broken on PC without default controls. It's a different kind of game. The major strength is the atmosphere, similar to games like Amnesia, and Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Like these games, there are some serious flaws to the gameplay, but the experience still manages to be highly enjoyable, and unique.… Expand

   Wish i could get my money back. It's one fo those movie games were you the player do have any control on prety mush anything. It's liek watchign a movie. The only thing you control is what you shoot and how you shoot it. Infinite ammo ect bleh. But it did have a ok storyline wich was somewhat interesting. This game strogn point is in the eye candy that that is the best part of the game.… Expand
