Being an obsessed fan of the horror genre and playing many resident evil/silent hill type games for many years, I actually didn't think I would be scared or get the same atmosphere from a DS game as the screen is obviously a lot smaller. I was very wrong. This game is probably one of the scariest horror games ive ever played. I am a wimp, I admit and probably shouldn't play these kind of games but, even so, it was very scary. The atmosphere in this game is incredible. There is so much attention to detail, blood everywhere, eery noises in the distance, monsters that appear out of nowhere.....just fantastic. I actually won't play this game in the dark. recommended.
