Oh boy i have been waiting a long time for this game. And let me say it lives up to almost all teh hype. I absolutly love this game. So far it is game of the year for me.But before you all run out a buy it , beware. This game is a system eater. It will consume your pc. To run it on maximum settings, i almost impossible without a super high end graphics card, or for that matter 2 super high end graphics cards! But once you have those settings up, this game is absolutly beautiful. It is one of the best looking games i have seen this year. Although you will feel like you are in the office buildings, and warehouses, the sound is what really puts you in the game. From the creepy music playing in the background to the sound effects. I will admit that some of the paint can sounds get annoying if they get stuck in the corner. It sounds like bongo drums. And while we are on the topic of office buildings and warehouses, you should get used to them, because you will be seeing A LOT of them. The game is kind of repetative, in the sense that you will be killing the same bad guy for houres, and running through the same office building for houres. Also the color seems to be all the same. I know that the developers were trying to scare you with the dark colors and shadows, but they use the same black and green for all of the game. Which brings me to the levels thenselves. The game is pretty straight forward with a lot of doors blocked by desks and shelves. Which isn't all that bad, but i would like to have seen some changes in the level. With the great physics engine, they could have included a few more enviromental puzzles, or any puzzles for that matter.
Another great thing about this game is it is scary. There were many times where i had to take a break and do some thing else, after i had just been creeped out. I think that this game is great over all, and with a few changes could be the best pc shooter of this year.
