Well i got it a few weeks ago now and all i can say about the graphics is wow, this is really starting to show off what the ps2 can do, the gameplay however is not what you might expect , when i bougt it i though it was a resident evil clone, but its more of an old style, point and click adventure but in a resident evil engine kind of thing. Which isnt to say its not good, ive enjyed it immensly but just giving you a warning that it might not be what you expect, try renting the game out from somewhere first and see if you like it

Basically its a twist on the adventure game. Theres no action in it at all and the whole thing is based around a story.

Its a bit on the short side too.

The story has multiply endings which are worth unlocking if you want to sit through the game a few times.

The story is gripping.

Its by no means a great game but it is a good game. You may find that its too much like a novel.

You should like it, don\'t expect wonders though.

It\'s supposed to be like a novel. That\'s why the alternitive name for the "Adventure" genre is IF or Interactive Fiction. Too many people generally confuse Adventure with games like "Tomb Raider" and "Zelda".. and that\'s generally why when Real adventure games (like Shenmue, MI4, or Shadow of Destiny) come out.. people don\'t get what they expect.

I for one, can\'t wait for the game since I\'m a huge fan of old school Adventure games. I just wish someone would do a remake of "The Leather Goddesses of Phobos", "Sam & Max", or maybe "Leisure Suit Larry" for the PS2 or Dreamcast.

i thought it was excellent, the storyline is cool, and keeps you really involved. Its not the longest game out, but it has a very good replay factor. Hope you enjoy it, you may want to rent it first or if your mate has got it play his, also if you do buy it and dont like it you can always take it back :D

If you really like puzzles, misteries and good graphics, this is the game to buy..... this game is excelent (the best well designed and well plotted game in the PS2 so far) but its quite hard to finish without a guide book coz one mistake in the game can cause.....GAME OVER .....

so like other ppl is saying...rent it first is the best way to go....

I think the graphic is not very good because there is no Anti-Aliasing and no high resolution.

The game is awesome. It is a original title--which means some people won\'t \'get it\'.

You have no action what so ever. Infact, the game itself is rather simple, but the story is awesome and the design is pretty damn good itself.

If you are lookin\' for something new, then it is great. If you need action, then pass it.

Personally, it is one of my favorite PS2 purchases.

The first time i played this was late at night it was sround 2:00 am and just after the first run in with the unknown killer, i was totaly paranoid this was hightened more with the small cut sceens with someone tailing IKE.

have to say this is a Must buy for any PS2 owner who wants the most out of there system.

ok so there is no guns or fragging but hey the tention adds to the gameplay, plus the whole raceing against the clock is superd.

ooseven gives this game a Highly Recomended award !
