Silent Hill's big brother

4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100

Okay, so maybe this game has nothing to do with Silent Hill by  Konami but this game comes with all the bells and whistles that make this game an instant classic.  The only (and I do mean only) complaint I have about this game is the lip sync is off pretty bad.  The story will grab you in your "no-no" place and force you to continue to play.  The cut scenes are horrifying in a weird and twisted way that makes you wonder what's going to happen next, and the controls are very responsive and the enemies are unique to this game.  Wow, that was a very stretched sentence.  There are no stereotypical enemies in this one.  Just the "taken", and believe me you will be seeing a lot of them.  I could keep talking about this game for hours, but let's just touch base on some of the aspects of the game.  First off the graphics.  These are top notch.  Just look at any of the screen shots of this game and you'll get the picture.  Literally.  I slightly touched base on the game play and the story.  Both of which could survive easily on their own, but they made both outstanding so A+ for that.  I've got to cut this review a little short due to the fact I've not finished the game, but I can already tell you this is a must play.  I could recommend this game without a second thought.  Don't believe me?  Rent it.  You won't want to bring it back.
