Surprisingly Fun
This is a very interesting title. It's quiet and calm, but for some odd reason I can't stop playing it. I have the Xbox version, and just picked it up last weekend because I was looking for something different. The graphics are amazing, although Kate looks a bit bug eyed. Very beautiful game, and the puzzles, while many of the go and get this variety are interesting to solve. I would say if you are looking for something different that will play with your head a little, and isn't all blowing up and shooting things, this is a good trip...especially for $12.
Overall, i'd give the graphics a 10, especially the backgrounds, and the character models are not bad, but some stay permanently in the background.
Playablity is about a 6, the controls will remind you a bit of Resident Evil, but clunkier. it is hard to get Kate to point the way you want at times. Also, there is a dialog journal that is impossible to read, very fuzzy.
Music is sporadic but moody, but the sound effects are right on.
