I'm just going to cut to the chase on this one, this game fucked me up bad.
From the initial bathroom sequence I knew it was going to be horrible. I swore something was hiding around every corner. Claustrophic set in, even in the city streets.....and those creatures, my God. My temples were on fire the entire time, basically, I felt like I was tripping. This game redefines ambience.
After several hours I decided to turn the game off. I was completely drained emotionally and physically. I felt like I had personally experienced half the things that went on in the game. I left the TV on and listened to the static for several hours, laying on the floor, drained. I didn't recover until the next evening. The game actually made me ill.(If this sounds like John Dudacks review from EGM last month, well, he took the words right out of my mouth.)
You probably think I'm a freak or easily shaken, nuh-uh. I'm one of the most desensitized you'll ever meet. One of my friends won't play the game unless people are over (who sometimes LEAVE) another won't play the game again becase he can't emotionally deal with the hospital level. There are hundreds of similar testimonials floating around the net.
The best way to describe it: Lost Hiway meets an Italian horror flick.
Play this one alone, at night, with the surround sound pumped up, I dare you. |
