I know that this game has been out for consoles for some time now, but they just released it for PC recently.
I just thought I'd give a :thumbup: for this game, it's very similar to Max Payne in the gameplay, and I can also see a little similarity in the storyline too. You can use the classic WASD keyboard setup, and switch weapons with the mouse-scroll. The "bullet-time" mode is replace by a "transformation" into a
very powerful creature, which can pretty much rip apart any thing in it's path, you have to watch your transformation "meter" , and make sure you switch back to a normal human before the meter runs out, or you die....they encourage you to play in this transformation mode as much as possible, even rewarding you with special powers the more you play in that mode.
It has to be one of the bloodiest games I've ever seen, so if you like that sort of thing, you might want to check this out. You are also able to "Save anywhere" in addition to the normal "Checkpoint" saves. The game is very creepy, and the monsters look like they stepped right out of a Hellraiser movie. It's also littered with profanity....if you remember the game Kingpin, then you will know how much bad language is in this game.
As far as bugs go, here are the ones I have encountered.
1. Graphical glitch that produces "tearing" and "streaking" all over the screen....this only happens in the '"restrooms", if you go and flush the toilet....wierd........I just don't do that, and everythings fine. This is solved by resetting the resolution, I didn't have to exit the game, and just continued on.
2. A glitch, where a prison guard was "invincible"...don't know what caused this, but I just reverted back to a checkpoint save, about 30 seconds earlier, and this solved it.
3. One section had me escort a prisoner, who loves to stand right in front of you while you are firing your guns. You are not required to escort him anywhere, and you can even kill him, but the game has different endings based on how good or bad you act in the game..........not really a bug, just bad AI for this one character.
I'll try and get some screenshots for this one today, I don't remember seeing some of the real bloody ones on any gaming sites...we might have to move the post based on the shots I take.
:D:
