nothing new here unless you count the mundane "dismembering" system
1. gameplay, while smooth and well done, is almost an exact replica of resident evil four. the few moments of originality don't make up for the rest of it
2. story: was garbage. a rehash of so many other video game and movie stories it's hard to keep track. but you still notice them. it wasn't the least bit scary and it had the all too common problem of being so vague you don't really give a shart. the ending has all the depth and originality of a PG13 teen slasher movie
3. value: rental value. you could easily beat the game in a few days. (i beat it twice in fifteen game hours) there are twelve missions, the missions are mindnumbingly repetetive, and you have a map with a blue line telling you exactly where to go next. aside from playing it on the hardest difficulty, the game presents no real challenge. it is about as linear as games get. even the end boss is a complete joke and can be easily killed within a couple minutes by using the weakest weapon in the game.
bottom line: rent it if you're really interested. but nothing about the game warrants a sixty + dollar purchase, especially with so many other great games out now.
