    Fans of the series will have plenty to be happy about, but you can’t help feeling you’ve been here and done that in the previous games. That’s the real horror here.

From seeing the trailers in early 2004, I was confident that this could have very well been the most terrifying game ever. I thought the ideas for the plot and gameplay were very very ambitious and I couldn't wait to play it, but it ended up feeling rushed and passionless in execution. I honestly feel that if this game were given more development time, it would have been just as good as the first 3 games.

I will say that the plot remained pretty solid although it would confuse the hell out of most people. It's a very weird story to say the least. Finally the game doesn't really have any memorable characters, not even the main character, henry. Overall, loved the ideas but most of them were lost in translation to the game.… Full Review »
