Has anyone here played this game? I picked it up a little while ago during Toys R Us' green tag sale for $10 and I'm loving it.

I understand a lot of people had issues with the linearity, pacing, and controls, but I think the suspense/horror/sci fi plot and scattered moments of brilliance (from the mind fuck nightmares to the visual effects of being choked and/or thrown and knocked down to the sweet ass action) really helps carry the game through the more lackluster portions of the game (tunnels and hallways that repeat for way too long).

$10 well spent, I say. If you've got an Xbox and want a first person action game that's a radically different breed than what you're used to (the guns aren't the most effective means of dispatching people in the game... you fists and feet tend to be), then I strongly recommend giving this game a look see. The control will take a little bit to get used to, but it really does do melee combat rather well.

There's some nice screenshots on the official page and GameTrailers has a bunch of videos of it you can stream. The E3 2K3 trailer kicks much ass in particular.
