I completed the game, and I enjoyed it alot. The dark atmosphere the game creates is one of the most powerful I have ever seen/felt in a game, and the combination of hiding in the shadows and waiting...waiting...waiting for that perfect moment to execute an oblivious enemy always keeps you on the edge. And when you reach the gunfights, they are immensely enjoyable! I think many people write this game off because they see the excessive violence and nothing else. Play it late at night, with all the lights off and the volume way up, and its an experience that is quite memorable. And play it on Hardcore, not on Fetish - the radar on Fetish spoils the whole tension/anticipation element of the game. And the dialogue in the game is some of the best ever. Too bad all voice acting can't be as high quality as this. The guy who plays Starkweather is fantastic, and I particularly loved the speech of some of the Smileys, who are all insane. You'll meet one Smiley who insists that you "stole his shoes," while you'll meet another Smiley who will shout out, "I can see him, he is loosing all of his pedals."
