I'm not sure where I should start.
This game is great. Sure the cutscene graphics blow monkeyballs, but oh my god... It's so fucking creepy. The story is there is a new kind of drug out in new york that makes the addicts... just fucking crazy, and your a cop trying to find this guy called "The Matchmaker" who is a serial killer and all the victims found are women who are found dead and chained up, always in some sort of romantic scene w/a mannequin. The guy kills your fellow investigators, and you are framed.
The bulk of the game takes place in the New York subways. It is one of, if not the scariest game I've ever played. Everything is so dark, and you only have a flashlight, a recharging taser, and whatever you can find in your surroundings. (ie ripping pipes off of walls, 2 by 4's laying around, shovels, fire axes, and the very occasional gun if your lucky) The addicts that come at you are just... fucking ridiculous. You can hear them when they are near, and they just sound so creepy. They run fast and knock over things as they come toward you, and half the time you cant tell they're near you until they are 2 feet away. The bloody faces, their screams, and the ambiance of the game all together make you very jumpy at a lot of times. It's even tougher when there are multiple enemies, because most of the time when you deal with the first one coming at you, you don't realize where the others went until you see one running at you with a weapon he just found. (Yep, they have use of the environment just as much as you do) You can't escape them either because of the fact that they will chase you down, and if your running away and you try to take the time to turn around and attack them, they are either pwning the shit out of you or It's too dark to notice that shadowy figure on the right side of the screen that is approaching very fast.
Another reason I like this game is that you can't just hold the attack or block button. Depending on the weapon you have at the time, your blocking and attacking are either slower or faster. (Using a crowbar is a lot faster than a shovel or something equivalent) You have to have perfect timing, because if you press the block button a second too early, you will put up your block before he even attacks, and when he does, your character will be in the middle of bringing the weapon back down. If you press it too late, in the middle of your guy raising the weapon to block, you'll already be taking damage. Same thing goes for attacking.
Anyone else like or dislike this game?
