A Great Game, Let Down By Variable Quality, 10 Sep 2005
I don't think I have ever played a game with such a variable standard of graphic quality. At its best, the graphics are very good indeed. The trouble is.....that standard is not maintained throughout, and one moment you can be playing a scene with really high quality, only to enter another room and find the detail of resolution has become rather poor. Which is a pity, as The Suffering is actually a superb game.....let down primarily by that lack of attention to consistent standards in the graphics. The game itself is actually great fun to play. I take all the stuff about it being 'disturbing' with a pinch of salt. Somehow I can't see myself putting a hatchet through the mother-in-law's head and claiming this game incited me. It's a game....fer crying out loud ! People who can't cope should stick to Sim City. One of the other reviews describes the game as a 'third person' shooter. I'd like to correct that....as there is actually a toggle between third person and first person. You CAN play the entire game in first person mode if you want to ! Overall, I'd say that this is another of those games that is never going to match the standards of Far Cry, Or Half Life 2, or Doom 3, but is never the less just sheer fun to play. It certainly has a high scare factor...which I'd rate above that of the Silent Hill games. At the end of the day...the most important factor of any game is not whether it has the latest super-wizzo graphics, the best AI in the world, or can make your blood curdle at 20 paces. It is that factor that finds you still playing it at 3.30 in the morning when you have to go to work that day. This game has that factor.
