slow moving at times, good gameplay, good voice acting, good detail, but disappointing in the end, which comes quickly.

In a nutshell: You're a crime scene investigator with a magical cell phone that can take DNA samples. You find yourself in a gritty, spooky world filled with thugs who want to kill you, are they human? That's a good question. Can you explain how these thugs came to be? Their, criminal origin perhaps? Well, that'll be briefly explained through load screens and subtle references to a cult. The story isn't important though, what is important, and what the games main perpose is, is the combat, and spook factor. The combat is great, though suffers from certain situations where you can't tell if someone is close enough to you to connect a hit, but, you get over it.

Basically:

Good- great combat, great control, great graphics, great sound, great spook factor, oh, and the lighting effects are beautifully done, just hit a dangling light, and watch what the light does

Bad- short, very short, Story leaves you wanting more, no replay value, only reason you'll play it again is to let your friends watch you own a thug, or let them do it.

Things I found corny- You're an agent, you carry a weapon, you'd think you would have taken training on how to use your weapons. Well at the start of the game when you're learning, a police officer tells YOU how to use YOUR tazer. Lame.

By all means, give this game a shot, you won't be dissapointed.
