A real treat for this horror freak!!

I'll tell ya right now, I didn't like this game when I first put it in my 360, but after putting down for a week, and then picking it up, . . well,. . .I'm hooked. I'm not familiar with the comic, so I have nothing to compare it to, except the game itself. The game looks good, NOT great, but good. Backgrounds are detailed, but not overly busy, and nothing really jumps out at me , graphically that makes me think or feel otherwise. I am a horror freak, in and out, so I tend to like a little (a lot) more blood in my games. Not too much blood here, and there should be. If you ever have gotten a bad cut on your finger, you know how much blood your body can throw out of a little hole, let alone ripping someone's heart out, there should be GALLONS of blood! One thing I DID notice right off the bat is that Jakie bares a striking resemblance to Kevin Spacey, which doesn't bother me, but every time there is a cut scene, I'm thinking, uhh, Kevin Spacey.
Better Mr Spacey than let's say Willie Aimes, or Jm J Bullock, that would be funny though. The game is paced very well and the story comes together in a big way as you go through each chapter. I am not gonna sit here and tell you the story line , cause that bothers me when people do that, but let's just say it is a demonic driven NY/NJ mafia style backdrop with a main character that rips the hearts out of each one of his victims. Lovely. Great game, but it needs more BLOOD.
