Other than that, the gameplay is of a typically Silent Hill/Resident Evil affair, with your character searching things with the X button to find powerups and key items your character will even helpfully turn their head to look at items that you may have missed. The controls are of the nice and simple 2D form – meaning that up on the analogue stick will move your character towards the top of the screen – which works nicely for the game, although it can get easy to become stuck behind the edge of a piece of furniture/door jamb by running into it. The action of the game is seen from the 3rd person perspective, and uses for the most part a fixed camera system – which comes with all of the negative aspects of not being able to see doors/directions very easily though these are a minor qualm. It certainly doesn’t push the boundaries of the ps2’s limitations, but it does look the part for what it tries to achieve. The ghosts, however, look spanking there is plenty of variation in the creatures that you will find, from people with broken necks from being hung, to strange “weeping women”, all of which are carefully created to be semi-transparent in places, and terrifying to behold as they sweep towards you. Other than that, the house is rendered beautifully admittedly it isn’t very colourful, with everything being shown in either grainy black and white or subdued sepia, but the effects work very well. The sprites of the game are perhaps the most disappointing part of the graphics in cutscenes particularly, they look dated and plain, with a lack of detail. Scarier than Silent hill and Resident Evil. Play in daylight surrounded by friends, family and chirping birds to avoid becoming a nervous wreck. More ways to make you cry in fear than you can shake a stick at. Jumps-a-plenty, very little psychological terror or real sophistication when it comes to scaring you (relies on grisly-looking beasties) Will you be impressed with what you find? I feel that simple diagrams are often handy in these situations, so for you to see show just how scary this game is I have prepared a Line O’ Terror™! No doubt, a lot of you readers will be coming to this game as Resident Evil or Silent Hill fans, looking for something that finally matches up to the calibre of these survival horror gems.
