Story: The story itself is about as in depth as you get without getting cheezy. You actually pick up PDA's that people leave around (or died with) and listen to their personal logs and read their e-mails to each other to gain information. You also start the game as a believable character. You're a marine that just got transfered to the station you are on. You even do a mission before everything bad happens.

Graphics: Amazing. The shadows and the monsters and the weapons and the rooms themselves were done really, really well. It was hard to go anywhere and find anything that looked the same. Sure there was the normal repeated panels... but things didn't blow up the same everytime and things on the walls weren't broken the same either. It just looked good the whole way through.

Gameplay: Probably the best idea I've ever seen in a scary FPS is the flashlight OR gun.... not both at the same time. It makes so many of the parts of the game so bloody suspenseful to go through. It also adds to the difficulty of having to take the time to switch to a weapon before you can fight. I found it smooth 99% of the time. Only right after loading a level (which did take over a minute) was there any lag. Otherwise I found it to be totally smooth. Very nice.

Sound: Again, very awesome. Throughout the game you hear other people on your radio calling out for help and shouting orders. You also get video and radio transmissions from the commander at the station telling you where to go next. Once those die out you hear next to nothing almost all the time. There is little music which seems to add to the tension of the game. Also, you hear voices. Sometimes they are loud, and other times so quiet that you actually question whether you heard it at all.

Overall, one of the best games I've ever played. I'd probably rate it the best ever so far.

Isn't it also for the Xbox?

well, I guess you could pick the story up from where it left off and keep going somehow... but, I just don't see how...

I'll look around for some info I think
