I'm a huge fan of survival horror games, so I've been keeping a close eye on this game. The game puts you in the role of Isaac Clarke a systems engineer who is sent to investigate a disturbance on an interstellar mining ship.
The games not as creepy or scary as I was hoping for, but It's still a blast to play. The monsters are grotesque and the scenery is creepy, but you have such a hefty arsenal that you don't really feel all that vulnerable. And the game moves at a pretty frantic pace so much so that you don't really have all that much time to get caught up in the macabre scenery. Your constantly battling these horrific ghoul so being scared isn't really an option. Of course there are a fair amount of cheap jump scares, which was to be expected anyways in a game like this. Games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil were truly frightening because of all of those tense moments when you were walking around waiting to be attacked. The foreboding before the actual attack was the most suspenseful part.
The games shooter aspect really shines. You have a good assortment of weapons that are upgradeable and a blast to use. Fighting off enemies has never been more fun. You must use your arsenal to sever your opponents limbs in order to take them down.
All in all, this is a great game. If I had to describe this game, I'd say its a lot like the movie Aliens. Action packed with some horrific looking creatures in an outer space setting.
