Didn't play this when it 1st came out but with the expansion due for release 1st week in November, I thought I might give it ago. With the computer settings cranked upto max, and the 5.1 sound turned up loud, so it began....

After a relatively quick load, your off into a realm I've never experienced before, gorgeous graphics, very atmospheric sound, explosions with lots of fragments, just a really good graphics engine.

Your part of a team sent in to discover what has happened at an experimental lab, which by the time you land, you know something is very wrong. There are body parts, blood and various indications that the evil has come out of the walls. Your reminded off this by the character whom you are chasing, and every now and again you'll see his visions. Once your over the initial disorientation, its basically a 1st person shooter where your shot at by everyone. Your range of weapons will start at bullet type , but later special weapons of experimental status will be necessary to take on the bosses. Lots of exploring with usually 1 or 2 ways around. Very detailed rooms, buildings, you'll also need your flashlight handy, BUT watch out, soon as its seen the enemy will know where you are.

Progression in the game can be quick or you can look around for energy/armor boosters, but you'll also need to look around corners for other surprises. After playing this for a good couple of weeks, it has very good lastability and as such looking forward to the next addon which rediscovers the cause of the incident.

Thumbs up for all 1st person game players, play it, and get ready to be amazed.
