You Are Empty

The Good
This game clearly has an interesting background story and the black and white cut scenes are very nice. Some of the levels have an interesting design and the enemies are quite good modeled. I like the idea about an emerging plot, where you find notes and such that tells the player what has happened.

The Bad
Unfortunately the game totally lacks atmosphere, the levels feels just like dead objects without any soul. It's too far between plot revealing notes and they have committed the (in my opinion) unforgivable sin of having monsters spawn right in front of the player. Another thing I'm wondering is why the player can't run? One could explain it by the fact that he was in a traffic accident in the intro, but if he is so fit as to walk through all the levels he should be able to run short distances. And where did they get those lousy voice actors? At least 50% of them were really bad.

The Bottom Line
If you want a game with emerging plot and good atmosphere play System Shock 2 or, if you have a good computer, Bioshock instead of this game.
