This game takes a lot of genres and puts a literal classic twist on them! It is like a game that was developed for the PS2 but when they finished the game they sent it to the future and put it on the 360 with updated character models. It's the best 20$ you will ever spend on a NEW game. The script is cheesy and hilarious, the gameplay borrows from all the best there is out there and it feels old school in the best of ways. It could have been released on the Wii(really why not?!) and it does have some problems if you don't like dated gameplay but other wise, GO GET THIS TODAY!
People that do have this game, did I hit the nail on the head? Or is your opinion different?

I would also like to add, If you are a fan of the games Illbleed and Eternal Darkness you will almost certainly love this game.
The best part is the Isolation you feel while you explore the town, I don't think the feeling could have been pulled off with modern graphics. You really feel like you are visiting a creepy mountain town with an unsettling past!
I really hope some of you fellow Gamespot enthusiasts do go out and buy this underrated, critically abused, oddly nostalgic and hilarious game. It deserves the sales and I guarantee you will have a blast playing it if you can look past it's shot comings! This game is definantly a breath of fresh air in this age of HD gaming and hope to see more like it.
