More THQ reviews , RRP: AU$120.00

The good:

  • Ferocious first-person hand-to-hand combat looks completely insane
  • Compelling premise puts you on the trail of a deranged serial killer
  • Morbidly unsettling atmosphere (in a good way!)
  • Excellent presentation

The bad:

  • Boring level design makes you get lost in hallway after hallway
  • Not much depth or variety to the combat after the first few hours
  • Storyline teases more than it delivers

The bottomline:

This first-person action game hits you like a sledgehammer with its astounding, stunningly creepy presentation, but it sacrifices opportunities for more shocks and surprises by settling for repetition.
