Where are the extras?

Brutal.....absolutely brutal....and I am not just talking about the violence in the game. Well, let me start by saying that unlike some M-rated games this one DEFINITELY cannot be played in the presence of children, nuns or men of the cloth. With that said the overall premise of an anti-hero with special "DARK" abilities is not new, but presented in a very unique fashion. The story is hokey at best and for some strange reason lips don't always move when the story is being told, which really hurts the immersion factor when it occurs. Some of the canned visuals are nice to watch....but after about the 75th time the shock factor, and therfore the hook starts to fade. Kind of like the feeling you get when you buy one of those systems that sounds like "Mii". Lots of fun until you have no other friends to invite over to see it and you realize a gimmick is a gimmick is a gimmick. And lastly....where the **ck is Nosferatu? The other system got the full movie, at least if I get bored I can watch a movie. Why did we not get this little tid-bit? Rent this title, and if you are a Nosferatu fan go with the other system.
