    Flawed, scruffy and inconsistent, but the small moments of magic [do] some way make up for the lack of overall polish. [July 2008, p.64]

    Annoyingly its potential is continually squandered by robot mechanics and tedious progression. [Aug 2008, p.104]
  3. This version has serious technical and design flaws that make it not much fun to play and are indication of a rushed conversion.
  4. An ambitious and in ways progressive survival horror game, whose ambition is hampered by its own numerous flaws. Whether these problems are a result of porting a current-gen title to a last-gen console remains to be seen, but the PS2 edition is very clearly a stripped down version of the impressive 360 game Atari have been displaying.

I'm surprised to see anyIt's been a long time since I played this game, but I just remembered it and was curious to see how it was rated. I'm surprised to see any positive reviews, because I thought this was one of the worst games I've played. I bought it and remember being highly disappointed. I would say avoid, but in the end it's your choice. Full Review »
