This game was very fun to play and fit with the horror theme very well. Gameplay was fun, but the controls were confusing and hard to get used to. Graphics were not great, but not horrible either. The music fit in very well with the game and had a lot of different songs playing at different times. The sound effects for gun shots sounded very realistic. The washed out color of graphics fit well with the music and created a semi-immersive atmosphere. Overall, I thought it was a good game.

An interesting and original concept, but I found the controls way to tricky to use. With different modes of gameplay there's certainly variety to choose from. The graphics were okay but could have perhaps done with more detail and shading. The sound effects were good but stopped at one point, when I looked on another window and returned to the game screen. Overall an original concept, but for me the controls let it down. Also I thought the tribal men attacking me at the start were part of a cut scene- I didn't realise the game had actually started :jawdrop:

The game was ok, it was simple but somewhat fun to play. The controls need a complete overhaul, and the motion and movements of the character seem over exaggerated, so there is no fine tuning your shot or move. There were also some little things that bugged me like for example i could not tell the difference between the machine gun and the pistol so sometimes i would not know what i had out. I also didn't get the horror feel except for the very end with the eye boss.
