This game is great despite some missing design elements; id should have included lean left and right moves (id are you listening...game needs a patch), and as it takes place in the 22nd century there certainly should have been more advanced weapons, the pistol, machine gun (assault refle equivilent really), shotgun, and plasma rifle should all have had flashlights ON THEM (at least the mod community has looked out for us on that score).

This game is not for the faint of heart, the paranoid or the weak stomached. Playing this game alone in the dark with headphones at full blast is one of the most enjoyable if un-nerving experiances you can have with a ga... Read Full Review
