I was going to give this game a 2 star review but the bugs kept me from completing the game. Instead the inventory required to complete the last puzzle was completely empty of all previous items picked up. I needed the knife and lighter for the furance but they weren't there. The only thing I could try to do was reload the saved game and hope, but no use. There maybe other ways to load an earlier game but as far as I know the game simply overrides the save file. Regardless, I'm done with the game. So, I'm at the end of the game with no way of completing it. That's the worst of the bugs I encountered. Others leading up to this finale were camera incorrectly panning, cursor disappearing and game freezes. This was one incredibly buggy title. Now then, the annoying, immersion breaking, intentional aspects of the game; were the horrible tank controls with automatically changing camera angels; beyond untalened voice acting (Except Captain Obo), as another reviewer mentioned, "one voice actor actually says the word 'sniff' rather than, sniffs*. Kate, even though she's the same iconic voice, now sounds like she's reading a childrens book and not acting. I hate to say that but there must've been no voice director. Much like the first game when the two characters were pronouncing "Helena" two different ways in conversation. All of the characters are from the USSR, or what's left of it, and all have American English accents with no hint of slavic anywhere. They could've at least tried to immerse the audience with some authenticity. If Slavs are going to speak english, they might as well have an accent, just as a tourist asking for directions would expect. Oh, it was so frustrating to listen to these people just read from the script. Gameplay: bad Story: Bad Graphics: Meh OST: Awesome Bugs: Frequent
