Worth every bit of your hard-earned money!
This game is amazing from top to bottom! Graphics will incredibly submerse you into the world and the game play has been pulled from such likes as Gears of War and Resident Evil.
I love the way the main character, Isaac, does not have any special abilities or is able to fight like a marine. He is an engineer, and uses his wits to make crude weapons, like the neat little flamethrower. Of course, the pulse rifle, line gun and plasma cutter are the only weapons I have acquired so far, but I am here to tell you, I would be happy with these weapons alone! I love the secondary applications on the weapons, especially with the line gun that can create a small mine type field that destroys anything within the vicinity of it.
The creatures, or Necromorphs, are insanely aggressive and intelligent. I love how they will retreat and attack from the side or behind when they know they are lost with the fight.
One last thing, I also love the way you see what madness has come into the crew members still "somewhat" alive, whether they bash their own head in or slit there throat while laughing, this can be an ultimately disturbing atmosphere.
As I said in the title, this is one of those games that you need to have in your gaming library and I would not hesitate to buy this game if you have not already. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy!
