I didn't understand the ending but after several years I understood it and that's when it became my favorite game.… Expand

   Somebody tell me why this game has had such a bad rating? Maybe this game was made for people like me but with the gripping storyline, and Somebody tell me why this game has had such a bad rating? Maybe this game was made for people like me but with the gripping storyline, and the game mechanics this has to be one of the finest games i've played. If you love twisted horror stories, (and clive barker knows how to write those) well you'll love this. To be honest after playing this, other FPS' have felt slow or just a bit irratating. It has to be the best FPS for the controls and movement. If anyone has finished it like me i'm sure you'll be wandering if there will be a second?… Expand

Some write that the characters aren't balanced and that they always use Black and Delgado. Some point out it is just another corridor shooter. Kill a bunch of guys, move forward, repeat. Ho hum.
   
   All those complaints are accurate. Yet this is one of the most fun, exciting, awesome looking, and nerve wracking games I've ever played.
   
   I went zip lining across treetops in Mexico once. It was cold on the speed boat that took us to the peninsula. The exhaust from the leaded gasoline engine of the bus we road through several tiny Mexican villages stung my nose. The donkeys we road to the top of the mountain smelled bad. You get my point. If you look for bad stuff, you'll find it anywhere. I find it hard to take seriously folks who complain about a game because it has less-than-ideal game mechanics when that game presents you with dozens of "I've never seen that before in a game" moments. Here are the things I loved (spoilers):
     - The blood and viscera carpeted walled enclosures.
     - The yellow-pustuled exploders appearing as you round a corner.
     - The crucified wretches you can put out of their misery--or not.
     - The ferocious slashers whose speedy attacks are satisfyingly stopped with a headshot.
     - Black's slow motion sniper shot that can take out multiple enemies
     - The disgusting yet beautiful shiny reflection of your flashlight against the organics-coated hellscapes. Soooo deeply and deliciously RED!
     - Music scored to push your squirming brain to the edge of madness.
     - Level design that presents regularly vistas of enormous scale and of nightmarish design.
   - Atmospheric effects that have you peering unblinking into the depths in search of the visual cues that might keep you alive.
     - Creature design that could teach Hieronymus Bosch something about the grotesque.
   
   If you are a first person shooter fan who expects the conventions of the genre, this may not be your game.  If you like well executed artistic design and unusual experiences, you may like this title. In short, if you have patience to put up with some deficiencies in execution in order to experience a one-of-a-kind sensory experience, buy this game.… Expand

Sadly its way too short for a single player only game with the only unlockables being character bios. it could have really kicked up its replayability if their was a multiplayer or coop component, unfortinutly only a rental is needed to fully enjoy this game.… Expand

Its cheap and worth picking up. It is extremely refreshing when compared to the stupid samey FPS market of today. I'm having a blast playing this game, so much so i threw my MW3 to the side and now just play this for my shooting kicks. The mechanics are good with the ability to switch between squad members and use thier different weapons and powers adds enough variety to make this fun all the way through. The graphics are solid for a 2007 game and the gore and monsters look fantastic. It's very satisfying to be mowing down monsters with a minigun one moment and then the next firing slow motion, steerable sniper bullets directly into an abominations cranium. Yes the ending is a alls up but it leaves it open to a sequel, a sequel I think they should make. A unique and interesting story and frantastic gameplay and art style more than make up for its faults and buggy AI. Buy it. Now. Its only a few quid.… Expand

   Well the first thing i can say is there is not much to this game but eye candy. I think the game only has five chapters and I gave up on itWell the first thing i can say is there is not much to this game but eye candy. I think the game only has five chapters and I gave up on it early in chapter 2. I just didn't find that much fun in the game. The shooting was very straight on and the AI was quite bad. I kept finding my AI dying and me switching bodies back and forth to revive the AI. In turn i missed the game as my AI fought it while i ran around reviving. This was definately my turn off. However I would still tell people to go for it and check out this game. It really was worth a look. The graphics overall appealed to me and i did like the 7 based squad and all their abilities. There were options to have squads assigned to hold and stay back and this could have minimized why I quit if i gave the game more chance. I just didn't think it was worth my time i had already made it 40 % through the game by this time and just wasn't feeling anything. I think one could just watch youtube walkthroughs and get pretty close to the same experience as playing this game. A playable game for a weekend but definately not a game i would consider buying to keep. Excellent strobe light effects made you feel like you were in a firefight, I really enjoyed this part of the game.… Expand

   Hey Clive did you ever see a game by the name of Fear? Now thats scary! Also note that Scripted button tapping is just plain stupid in any game.
