I initally bought this game for the PC. If you don't have a gamepad (I prefer the mouse + WASD control scheme) it unplayable out-of-the-box. The camera is broken and requires modifying a text file. Some changes also need to be made to your graphics settings if you run an nVidia board. Once I got that working, I discovered several keys didn't work and can't be re-mapped. At this point, I gave up. Luckily, the reseller let me trade it for the PS3 version, which is excellent. As a longtime fan of horror games, this one doesn't disappoint. In the dark with a good sound system you'll find yourself jumping out of your seat. Some of the best sound design I've ever heard in a game. Distant echos and pipes clanking together are perfectly rendered. The weapons are imaginative and satisfying to use.
I should note that EA was of absolutely no assistance from a technical or customer service standpoint when I had trouble with the PC version. If the reseller hadn't agreed to exchange it, I would have wasted $50 on a game I couldn't play.
