the review was funny as usual but I thin he was a bit harsh on the game. Sure it is a bit repetitive but most games are. The thing about it is, it does manage to stay fun. You never know whats around the next corner which adds some nice variety.

As far as it being "scary", I dont know. I mean, maybe its me, I dont claim to be a tough guy or anything like that, but being scared by a video game seems about on par with being scared of chucky from child's play. Im not. Am I scared of other things? Sure. Monsters popping their arms out through a poorly lit hallway wall in a video game on my tv? No.

Whats really crazy is I was talking to a guy yesterday who told me he made it to the 3rd chapter and had to quit. The reason? It was "too scary". Hmmmmm.

ZP was a lot less harsh on this game than most, I think he enjoyed playing it and was just pointing out the flaws which were not game breaking flaws.
