Sngle Player Reveiw to a memirable expeirience.
If you played the first one, then this game WILL awnswer the VERY many questions in the first game, if you havn't then don't worry, you won't be left in the dark (well you will either way but you get it :). You are Ethan Thomas, a renegade SCU agent with a alchohal problem and a serious attitude, brouhgt back from the life of a bum to becoming the cities only hope.
The story is great, plot twists and scares lurk behind every corner, hullucinations tear your mind and work against you. The length of the game is about 12 hours and will keep you on eage every step of the way. The graphics are great, but there are better looking games.
The combat is much improved over the first (which had great combat to begin with). You can now use your fists and the blocking system is no longer a split second but a full fleged block. You can also throw weopons such as bricks and alchohal, which can lead to some pretty intresting fights.
Now this game is not perfect, I had some problems with the flashlight not working at all in the nightmare sequnces and some frustrating deaths occurd because of the problem. The guns sound like cap guns and I did encounter an annoying glitch in the SCU building were the guy got stuck to the floor preventing me from advacing.
Overall, this game is fantastic. The flaws are minor and they don't really ruin the experionce. I recomend this to any one.........just don't expect to sleep for a few days :)
