Loved it. This game just rocked.

I love moody gritty scary games. I want my first person shooters to scare me. I want ambiance d@#$it! This game delivered.

The gritty comic book film noir style was just brilliant. The seeds underworld action was sweet. The bullet time gun fighting was badass.

But don't play it for the action necessarily. The action is great, but play this game because it's just an amazing game with a great vision. Play it because it's different and has a great story. Play it because it sucks you in. Play it cause it's totally sweet.

Still need to play the second one. Here's hoping it's just as good, but I'm not holding my breath.

Why can't more games be this gritty, and really make it work?
