This game is an awesom FPS with a very scary atmosphere. In the game, you play as an unidentified protagonist, this is because the developers want you to believe you are the hero. Anyway, when a psychic commander of a battalion of cloned supersoldiers goes insane due to a spiritual presence, you and the team you are with are called in. The enemy AI is excellent, and they will use flanking maneuvers, grenades, mines, a variety of weapons, and in some cases, the environment to their advantage. If there is a window near you, they won't run around looking for a door like in other games. They will jump THROUGH the window to get to you. That brings us to graphics. Glass and water effects in this game are great. The splashes are excellent, and even accentuated with ripples. When glass breaks, it doesn't just fragment into a few regular polygonal shapes and disappear. It spiderwebs realistically into numerous irregular, random pieces and falls to the floor. Even on the floor, it doesn't disappear. You can even break the glass in picture frames! Character models are highly detailed, and the enemy varieties are cool, but some of them can be frustrating to defeat. Weapons are very creative. Everything from a dual wieldable pistol to a gun that nails people to walls is available. The sounds of the guns are very realistic. The game also features fleshy noises when you hit enemies. One cool thing is the splatter you hear after slicing an enemy in half with the shotgun. The game is a nice length for an FPS, at about 10-12 hours to beat. The storyline is definitely the high point in those hours. I won't ruin it for you, but this game is very scary due to the story line, and many spiritual encounters. Overall, this game is an action packed, scare filled thrill ride that is definitely worth a purchase.
