What Resident Evil 4 and The Thing SHOULD have been like!
It's very easy to compare this game to games like Resident Evil 4 and The Thing because of the many similarities in gameplay and story but unlike those two games this game does everything right!
You're Tom a US Coast Guard who is out to assist a Russian whale-hunting ship in need of help because of a terrible storm in the middle of the sea, but everything isn't what it seems..
The first thing you'll notice when you start your game is how well made the graphics, sound and controls are. The feeling of being caught in the middle of a storm on a hostile vessel is captured perfectly, from the high waves shooting across the deck, the boat going up and down and side to side with you hanging on for dear life, the heavy rain smattering everywhere, the strong stormy winds to the thunder and lightning, everything is made perfectly to create an as hostile environment as possible, absolutely breathtakingly well done! Incredible gameplay depth that you simply have to play to grasp the true meaning of.
The controls are a lot like Resident Evil 4 except you will not suffer from ANY of all RE4's far to many problems!
You can easily move around while shooting, it takes almost no time to reload and the aim is perfect because Tom doesn't wave his gun around, making it impossible to aim, like Leon does in RE4.
There are absolutely no idiotic elements in this game, no shooting crows for money, no buying weapons from random shopkeepers, no little Napoleon guys from space, no dumb AI morons who love standing directly in your line of fire constantly, no graphical or technical bugs or anything dumb like that! Just classic science experiments gone wrong, simply wonderful.
If you don't own this game.. get it, now.
