I just got to the second DVD, and I have to say that this game is straight up awesome. Now that I'm used to the POV, I REALLY have to play the first one.
That aside - there's really nothing I don't like about this. The weapons are all great, the combat/aiming is great, the graphics are fantastic, it's spooky as hell and there have been at least a dozen or more times that I almost jumped out of my seat. :lol:
I'm playing on normal and will do a second run on a harder difficulty, but I'm finding it juuuust a teeny bit too easy for my uber-geek self, so you "veterans" might want to kick the difficulty slider up a notch.
One of the things that I really like is that the ammo is sparse, but not obnoxiously so. It's just enough so that you really have to time/aim all of your shots and make them count. The gameplay makes yourotate through weapons a lot and use everything, because you never have enough bullets to mindlessly go Ramboing through enemies. It's a great challenge and it gets you using all different things instead of just sticking with one combo (like shock/wrench in Bioshock, for example). It sounds like nothing, but it's one of my favorite things about it gameplay-wise so far.
Really, really well done game. I'm about ~7 hours into it and I think I just hit the halfway point. You spend SO much time creeping around with your gun drawn because man, NOWHERE is safe, the ambiance is creepy as fuck, and you're always expecting shit to jump out at you.
Definitely pick this up.
