This is one of the most scary, most intelligent and simply most stunning Horrorgames of all times. You can feel the influence by Barker who must have been inspired by Edgar A. Poe for the very good story. Buy it, play it - also much better than Barkers later released Jericho!
After having read some reviews in magazines I was a bit sceptic. But Remdey did deliver, what I was hoping for. Like in the case of Max Payne 2 they created a kind Computer Game that can count as a work of art. That is mainly due to the great storytelling, the great characters, the incredible atmosphere and the aesthetically astonishing graphics and music. Having said this I have to note that the actual core of the game play (Like in Max Payne 2) is good, but not something new. But it is its embodiment within the other aspects that makes the game amazing as a whole. Highly recomended!
