Rip-off some body parts? Simply badass.

This game was amazing. I would not recommend buying it but merely renting it; the replay value is the only gripe I have with this game. Yes you can re-beat it to unlock more secret backstory logs on some characters and get a new costume but the game is short; I rented it to try it out and ended up beating it in 4 days, clocking in at around 10 hours while taking my time! I also felt that the game was too easy upon the player as well, at least in the medium difficulty. My regret is that I did not higher the difficulty, but I didn't know the game was going to be so forgiving. I ended up beating the game with nearly 20 Large med pacs, 25 medium health packs, and countless ammo as well...don't be afraid to go gung ho sometimes!

Besides that small gripe, the game is freaking awesome. The story is scary for the fact that you are slowly discovering what happened to the crew as you go along the game...and thanks to EA, Necromorphs are now THE most scary monster you will ever encounter in a videogame to date. There are numerous enemy types, and "strategically dismembering" them never gets old.

The weapons are what makes shooters great as well. Mostly all the weapons are modified engineering tools, such as a buzzsaw or blowtorch. You truly feel badass shredding apart the limbs of your undead enemies. Having a limited space in your inventory for weapons,health, and ammo adds to the terror of the game for the fact that you always seem to have BARELY enough ammo for each section you go through.

The graphics; some of the best I've ever seen, period. Playing this thing on a high def nearly made my eyes bleed and tear due to how beautifully horrific everything I encountered was.


My opinion; you MUST PLAY THIS GAME, however...if you are poor and on a limited budget like I am, RENT IT. Amp up the difficulty and have a blast...literally.
