Epic!!
Many of you are fps freaks just like me, if you haven't played it you better come up with some very very convincing excuse 'cuz you're missing quite a master piece.
The story... engaging, great plot with some minor political twist, but quite spooky. Let me get something straight, this ain't your silent hill or so, where you spend more time freaking out than any other thing, this game has a great ambient, with some seriously great spooky events, you know, those unexpected things that makes you jump off your feet. The way the story is told is very clever, the only cutscenes you'll see are short and the rest are all in game events.
Graphics and Tech, do I have to say anything? I run this with almost every single setting on max and is just so beautiful that it makes your eyes bleed for more, and what about sound? Sound is as important as graphics are, and it's up for the challenge you know? I recommend a X-Fi card, since is one of the most powerful cards out there and with that cards characteristics it will be a great load off your pc, increasing performance quite visibly.
Perhaps one of the things that differs this game from the rest is the AI, you'll never, ever, have the same fight twice, and they're always challenging because of this great Ai!! You'll have an anecdote for each corner, some day you'll find your self telling your friends "once I was coming out this door when..." and he'll answer with it's own experience... never the same. That's what made me play this awesome game so many times.
Bottomline, after such a game, you'll be aching for more, and soon my friends will our prays be answered, soon we'll have extraction point, let's hope it's up for the challenge.
