My favorite genre of games are survival horror. This game isn't as good as Silent Hill three. Plus it won't sell good because many parents won't let their kids buy this game. The Suffering is also scary, but not like Silent Hill 3. The graphics aren't great and it's too gory. Their is a lot of pointless gore. They tried to make it like a Grand Theft Auto with more Gore. If you want a better game check out Fatal Frame 2 or Silent Hill 3. These are better games.

Awesome Game

This game is awesome. Don't listen to the Rez Evil/Silent Hill 2 fans. This game evolves the survival horror genre. MAtter of fact it isn't even survival horror its action horror.

The controls are awesome, pretty much exactly like Halo. I really like the fact you can go into 1st person if you want.

The graphics are good but its the sense of environment that really works in this game. THe story seems really cool to.

The main character is really tough and animates really well.

The creatue design is awesome. I heard something about the guy from Terminator designing the creatures. I dont know who designed them but they were sick in the head.

Overall this is going to be a GREAT game. Solid action, good story.

This game rocks!!! This is not a survival horror game!

I am sick of people comparing this to Silent Hill 3 or Res Evil. It is totally different. It is more like a horror Half Life or Max Payne than these games. The controls are identical to Halo creating an incredible creepy sense of immersion that you dont get in traditional survival horror games.

The action is awesome and some and the creatures are fast and most importantly NOT ZOMBIES. It great to see a developer take risks on new creative creatures.

This game is simply one of the best games on the PS2 ever!

Incredible Game

I played this game at E3 and it kicks ...! It was very immersive. Guys breaking through windows, getting sucked up through vents all while I was playing.

The graphics do a good job of conveying the creepy feel of a prison.

The controls are great - very similar to Halo or Max Payne.

This is definately a shooter NOT a survival horror game. If you want lots of puzzle you should look else where (at least from what I saw at E3 there was only 1 puzzle in the first level).

I have been following this game ever since I saw it and I will have to say I think its improved a ton. It about time somebody put American game style on a typically Japanese genre.

Demo Rocks!

I just played the demo on OXM and I will have to say this is one of the coolest, creepiest games I have ever played.

The demo starts with Torq being led into death row. There is a whole lot of "beeping" the dialog so I cant wait to get the real version to see what it says. The dialog seems to fit with the prison setting and is very well done.

Once in the prison all hell breaks loose, literally. All of these weird creatures start appearing, killing everything in sight. Its awesome!

I dont want to give too much away I am preordering this game right now

one good horror game

This is the best horror game I have played since resident evil 2. I love to get spooked but most horror games are about scaring you by giving you no ammo and running as your tactic to survive. Now don't get me wrong that adds to the spook factor but it gets hard to pick up time after time. Well, for the past several months i have been looking into The Suffering as a possible rental on a dark weekend when it came out. Just recently I played the demo and it blew me away as one of the best horror games ever.

Let us get to the point that made the game fun. You could fight. Thats it, you could fight back and actually have a chance to survive without spending ever bullet with regret. On top of that you still feel as if you are still on the brink of death as the story and monsters surround you. Now that is awesome when it comes to horror games.

Now the gore factor is a little much, even for a 18 year old guy, and the language is ridiculous but I got past that and saw what the game was like underneath. This is no kids game at all and if you are a parent looking into this for a child 16 and younger forget the game. Anyone else have fun. It is well crafted and good for a night of peeing you pants.

Wait 'til the game comes out to review

You people are unbelievable! How can you review a game that doesn't even come out until tomorrow? You're either the developer trying to generate hype or you're just a fanboy who has nothing else to do but try to get attention.

I have not rated the game because I have not played the full version. For those rating the demo, please say so in your subject heading. Otherwise, wait until the full version is released. Thanks

Do not play at night

I've never played a game that actually scared me before. I mean: really scared. I actually dropped the controller at one point. My pulse was pounding hard!!! I don't want to say anything that would ruin the surprises, but you're going to wonder how they did a lot of the things they did in this game. Do yourself a favor though, and skip the movie intro. The voice actors are terrible. Don't let it taint the way you see the rest of the game, which is blissy.

Best action game this year!

Just got my copy today and so far I have not been able to put down the controller! This is one amazingly good game. Highly recommended, but not for anyone under 17 due to language.

Great Action Horrow Game

The Suffering is one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. The Sound effects and audio in the game are second to none, the action is pretty fast-paced and as a result - very fun, the graphics are good (although textures could have used a bit more polish but this is a minor gripe) and the voice acting is incredible.

If you're looking for a solid, fun action/horror game (no "survival" elements such as lack of ammo) than this game will definitely wow you. Kudos to Surreal Software and Midway.
