This game has possibly given me the most headaches of any game I have ever played. OMG I have to keep replaying the same sections over and over and over and over again. GRRRRRRRRRRR. Yes, it has nice graphics but other than that no substance. The plot is just plain weird, I couldn't get interested in it ever. Some stupid stuff about evil spirits being released in NY. There are some good animated sequences which look great but other than that there's squat. Game play is boring, repetitive, the list goes on. But the worst problem is save points! You can only save at certain points which are stupidly placed. For example I spent about an hour and 1000 tries to get through the bloody driving scene, cause u cant save it in the middle! This is why I call it "hard". I'm just glad that the game came free with my computer and that I didn't buy it, mind you I never would have bought it anyway!
