What do you all think? not the most "liked" game in the world from the review and user ratings i've read, but i'm enjoying it. A little bit of puzzle, some reasonably good killing opps, decent storyline, fair gameplay, and more than enough spine-tingling action for my tender constitution.

But I'm at the point where I might send it back and get something else. Wondering if it gets better the longer you stick with it.

I played the original Obscure on the PS2 and liked it, still don't know whether I should try this one out though.

I have played both Obscure games they are not that great though. While playing them it seems to me like a B-movie refreshment of the survival-horror mainstream; and if I were rating the second one for the PSP I would give it an average 7 out of 10.

Your opinion seems to be in the majority. I'm easy freaked out, so the spine-tingling part is keeping me interested. Do you know if this game was made by the same developers who did Silent Hill? It has a similar feel.

The Komami's Team Silent is the former developer of the Silent Hill franchise(SH 1-4), - the most recent iterations of SH are created in the US and they are only produced by them; as for the Obscure games they are developed by the Hydravision Entertainment and their studios are located in France. There are also many classic features of the old-school survival-horror genre formula has been brought by the Obscure series as well, some people even call the original Obscure game a "RE goes to school", so I guess if you like The Aftemath you will easily find that similar feel in many cool games of that genre - at least on the home videogame platforms.

It's a good game, but there's little to no (mostly no) replay value. Finish it once and you're done. Hard to recommend the UMD. Fun game, though.
