    The two drawbacks were the game was too short and it was relatively easy. But the sound effects and music was great and was more than fun enough to keep me glued to the set. Anyone who loves "Resident Evil" will love this game.

    It was good except for the graphics and the fact the it just got to frustrating at some points.

    I think this game is freakin awesome. I love the marine corps and that gave the game a huge boost. Great job to the creators.

    I thought this game was really good. The controls are straight forward and easy to use. The interface is really user friendly. I love all the creatures (love to blow them apart) The music really adds to the suspence of the game. I would agree though that the game is still a little short and could be a little longer with more twists and unexpected turns. All in all, I would recommend this I thought this game was really good.

    where is number 2? I want #2! This game is great and is a perfect competitor to resident evil with ALOT of opertunity and potential. A great story, cast and more. Very scary, sad and memorial story. Please sony, rerelease it on PS3 in HD or make a sequel for fans. Many fans are out there for this game...

    The PS2 was the Peek of survival horror. All the best Horror was there series complete , Sillent Hill, Fatal Frame, Resident evil. Extermination isnt the best, but its yp there.

    Como juego de supervivencia cumple bastante bien su cometido, además de resultar variado. Tal vez la historia no sea la más original, pero tampoco lo pretende.

    It's unoriginal and very short (I was able to complete it in a couple of days without really trying to beat it), but a gas while it lasts and home to some of the nicest-looking and best-renderd FMV cinemas your puny little eyes have ever seen.

    It never quite comes together in as compelling a fashion as others of its class. It's far from being poor and is certainly entertaining at times--it just lacks the originality and extra level of polish needed to provide a truly memorable gaming experience.

    A game that initially turned me off completely, but somehow managed to keep me playing 'til the end.
