Well, I have to agree that it is scary, and very creepy at times too, though not as much as the undead levels of Thief I and II and the aformentioned Cradle level of Thief III (and let me throw in Alone In The Dark as being one of the scariest games ever.) And the graphics and sound are great, with some decent eye candy, smooth monster animation, good playability and well done voice acting. Kudos to all of that. (P4 2.4ghz, 9700 AIW, 2 gigs memory, and plays smoothly, for those interested)

But I am still extremely disappointed in this game. It is just so tedious, the level design is some of the most boring and unimiginative I have EVER seen, and I mean all the way back to the start of the FPS genre. It reminds me of a quote from another old game "You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike." The entire game so far consists of me going into a smallish room with random machinery working and some steam coming out of a vent, having me get to some point in the room where the trigger is, having some sound happen or the lights go out or the screen go all red, and have the monsters appear out of a "monster closet" or just randomly out of thin air, killing them, going down a small passage to another mid-size room, and repeat ad-nauseum. That is 90% of the game right there so far, and I have played for many hours. I don't have a problem with making things suprise you like that every now and then, but it really is a cheap trick, like the kind that bad horror movies use, and they just do it over and over and over again.

It's funny, they use a lot of monsters inspiried by the ones in Dooms I and II, and it just reminds me of when I saw those monsters originally and how good those levels were compared to these; despite the few textures and small number of polygons, they showed infinitely more imagination.

In any event, the game is fun enough for me to continue, and I understand that eventually it changes to another location, though I have not seen it yet, so I will keep going in the hopes it gets better. But if you have 60 bucks to burn and are looking for a good FPS game, might I suggest ignoring the hype and get Call Of Duty or Farcry instead, which are much better games.
