    I don't know how you can give this crap a high rating. It's not scary at all, it's graphics are sub-for Dreamcast, and most importantly it's not fun.

    This is without any doubt the worst horror game I have ever played.
    First of all its graphics are awful, Silent Hill 2 was launched the same year and it is like a hundred times neater than this game. Even Resident Evil: Code Veronica, launched one year earlier in the same console was highly better in graphics.

    It is not scary at all, most of their scares are repetitive and less than funny.
    The stage design along with the playability are as bad as the whole, rooms are repeated constantly and they are poorly designed. Fights are far from being frightening, they are tedious and they completely feel unnecessary. Even worst is the whole senses experience, which only consist in avoiding or not, lots of annoying "scares".
    Only good thing I can point out is the fact that it was not launched in Europe.    … Expand

    Control and camera issues, and the strange stop-n-go gameplay that Illbleed sports may be too annoying to make people want to endure the game's six levels. If you can get past those problems, then you may find something that is actually pretty enjoyable.

    I can appreciate the effort that went into the unique gameplay mechanics of Illbleed, but the clumsy controls and frustrating camera angles, make this game pretty difficult to play.

    The wacky control requirements kill any desire to play the game. If you have a lot of patience, and a weird sense of humor, you may get a kick out of Illbleed.
