Frictional games has definately raised the bar ! While the graphics arn't quite as good as Crysis and other modern games the game play is top notch. Don't get me wrong, they are pretty good. Insted of mindlessly shooting your way throughout the Penumbra Black Plauge world the player is forced to think in order to accomplish each and every goal. The game is very interactive and physics are very good too. I think it is scarier than Doom 3. I truely hope to see more games like this. I am rnjoying it very much. I hope the reviewers at Gamespot do it the justice it desearves. At least an 8.5 but I gave it a 9.0. I am not quite done but am about 90% through and it just keeps getting better. I haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time. I will bum out when it's done. Oh well, back to shooting.
