Creepy, not revolutionary

This game does get high marks for the creepy level design. However, ultimately, it's just another shoot-em-up game. Like pretty much every first-person shooter, you wander through mazes (though they do a pretty good job making the levels not look like mazes), look for keys, and shoot things. There are also tedious cut scenes and a "journal" to advance the plot, such as it is.
I give it high marks for the overall look and feel, but lower marks for gameplay, and very low marks for a missed opportunity: they could have made a horror game, but instead they just put an otherwise very ordinary action game in a horror setting. It's not the same thing. On average, 3 stars.
Could be a good game but...

The graphics, sounds and the story in this game are good but the saving feature is just a real pain. Levels are so small that once you entered to the room and want to move on the next area you have to wait for the next level to load, and when that happens repeatedly 4 - 5 times for 20 minutes of game play it really not only gets annoying, but almost pisses you off. Another thing: once you died you have to wait for the level to start again and than load your last save since the game doesn't load it automatically. And it happens very often so instead of actually having fun playing you have to stare at the screen with the sign "LOADING" most of the game. So basically it all spoils fun so much that you want to just give up and throw the disk to the garbage.
This game could be a good piece, but developers did their best to spoil the fun
There is only word for this game, "AWESOME."

I purchased this game last night and haven't quit playing yet.
The graphics are perfect. The sounds are perfect. The game is perfect.
However, if you are using a 32mb graphics card, you are missing out. I would suggest spending the money on the 64mb card. It ROCKS.
I play on a pentiumlll, 800mhz with a 64mb graphics card and haven't had any problems with slow loading times or anything.
It's all in your computer babyyyyyy.
THIS GAME ROCKS.
The bugs are coming! The bugs are coming!

It could have been easily the game of the year. It's downright horrifying and intense. With such masterpiece graphics, sounds and feel it is easy to forgive the lack of replay value. But, BUT, the horrible bugs inroduced to the game, along with a bad-balnced gameplay, just ruined it all. The weapons are lame, the control imprecise. Far too many mouse - excercise jumping exactly from here to there wear down the experience. Then there are the bugs- no doubt the worst monstaers out there. You must not ever drain the spears from the speargun- do so and no weapon will ever shoot again. Ah, and there are plenty more for you there. Try and see for yourself- your dissapointment is assured.
scary, but buggy as hell.

This is the only game that I have ever played that actually gave me the creeps in the dark. The story is great especially if you are a fan of the clive barker novels, but it was just hard to get aroung the shoddy play. The movement was jerky, the weapons fire a split seecond after you want them to, and it locked up and needed to be re-booted more than once. I would wait until they work out the bugs before buying this one.
Get this- you won't regret it!

A very scary game. If you ever thought about surround sound, then buy it too. I heard thumps and screams coming from every speaker! I found myself being attacked as I was trying to figure out where all the spooky sounds were coming from!
Despite my rating... stay far away from this game.

I loved the mansion design. Reminded me of the original Phantasmagoria. But then the horror came. It doesn't even have a true god mode. So if you wanna cheat.. it has healing but they keep coming at out. Then there is all this freaking silence that'll drive you insane. Have a ball folks.
Best 1st person shooter this year.

If you like first-person shooters and/or role-playing games this is the game for you! Combining both elements, plus an intriguing, complicated, horrific storyline, the game will keep you plastered to it for days. With multiple separate missions and great gameplay, this one is highly recommended!
I just finished it... where's the sequel?? :)
My computer wasn.t up to grade..........But
