User Reviews

It started out really interesting, but then got to science fiction for my tastes.

This game started out with a bang, your character goes to an opera and all hell breaks loose. The singer in the opera transforms into a bizarre creature and you go in hot pursuit. What transpires is a game where you are in constant search for this lady named eve, while fighting the many deformed monsters she leaves in her wake including mutant alligators, dogs, and even skeletal remains of dinosaurs. At first the game is more horror based, but then it gets all science fiction as the game explains a bit to much why everything is happening. So the story starts off good, but then gets a bit to weak near the end. The fighting consists of you shooting monsters with various guns that all have their advantages and disadvantages. You also can customize your weapons and the various body armor throughout the game. You can interact with people here and there, but this one is more fighting and movie sequences than anything else. The movie sequences are the highlight of this one too as they are much better than the actual game play which is not unusual because the film sequences on a psone are going to be better than the actual graphics.
