Well, i just got playing a few levels and i must say, it's not too shabby.
However, the biggest complaint i have is... The minimum specs are bs.
At the lowest quality graphics, it still gets slow and jumpy. I don't have a horrid computer at all. Geforce 4 FX video card (Updated driver) 512 RAM, plenty of free space, running it on XP, so it shouldn't be having that much problem running the game graphics wise. It's run games like UT2003 perfectly without any real slow down at pretty high quality graphics.
The other complaints are just about everyone else will say. It's too dark. The flashlight and weapon are seperate, so unlike Half-life, you'll have to switch using those two, unless you tweak your gamma up enough.
I'd also like to mention, as great the graphics are, firing the gun at anything, won't give any real gun flash. So if you are in the dark and firing at something, they'll be no temporary flash or whatever. I'm not sure if they ever thought about it or not, or just didn't get into the game, seems slightly unrealistic.
Some reviews say that this game is creepy... to an extent, yes and no. There won't be any real surprises (that i think were designed to be), but the way they do some of the levels later on is cool. However, i might of been more surprised if there wasn't constant slowdowns.. it pretty much gives you a "Something is coming, use this 2-3 seconds to be prepared" warning.
Despite these downsides, the details of the level (What i could see and make out) are great. When the first Robodog (What i like to call it) comes after you, it first tries the steel door. It can't get in, but the dents that he puts in the wall/door is cool.. eventually he just crashes through the glass window.
I suggest those who have a really, really good PC (Or at least, better than mine) to get this. Otherwise, pass on it. You maybe a fan of the series, but you'll probably be turned of by the slowdown of graphics.
