What's great about it: none What's not so great: 2 hrs of my life i wont get back!
"first let me start by saying this had the pottential to be a great game! the physics looked awsome and the inventory and healing system were revolutinary! but then they dropped the ball......the gameplay and movement features made the game un playable!! many of my deaths were a result of poor mechanics and targeting.....at least i did not purchase this abbomination....was still a waste of time and 8 dollars"

Good game with a few flaws

What's great about it: Graphically good and interesting What's not so great: awkward controls but they are bareable if u like this genre
"I just got this game today it has amazing graphics and an interesting storyline. U play Edward who wakes up to a living nightmare going on right in the middle of ny's central park and ur goal in the game is to find out the mystery of the dead souls lurking in the park. One of the things i admire is that this is the first next gen game to feature a dvd style way of playing where u can skip chapters in the game if u cant complete a section making sure anybody can fully see evrything this game has to offer. Some control issues but if u are a fan of survival horror u will enjoy this game alot and overlook some of the control problems. Either or the opening sequence is one of the best opening scenes i have seen in a next gen game."

not quite alone

What's great about it: some controls are human like, cool movies What's not so great: weird controls, not much mosters, bad graphics
"this is a game that you really don't want to get. at first, i agree, it looked pretty cool, but it is really bad. first, i really hate the graphics. they don't look good or better than any other game at all. second, i don't think there are much mosters at all. i'd say the're pretty cool but they don't quite show up. but one good thing is that there are some different gameplays. theres climbing across a roof with obsacles, driving, and a few more stuff. another good thing is combinig items like real world stuff. so, there are some good stuff, but a total more bad stuff that i haven;t mentioned. so you shouldn't even get this game unless you really, really want it."

Dark, Mysterious, a Must Have

What's great about it: Gripping story, awesome graphics, and substantial replay value. What's not so great: There weren't any bad parts of the game, but maybe a little less cussing.
"I was looking forward to this game coming out, and I loved it. The story has keep me going since I started playing it. I was very skeptical about the fast-forward and rewind feature but the games difficulty was increased to where I felt compelled to use it once or twice. The graphics were very well incorporated , but there were a couple instances were your character would blend in to the wall slightly. No big deal for me but some people get upset about that. The replay value is great because you can get through parts of the game differently, and the story will grip you to the end. My favorite part is that when you start your game back up, it gives you a recap of what has happened the last time you played like a TV show. Sweet!"
