did anyone get this game? it's fucking excellent. it's quite possibly the most violent game i've played. ninja gaiden has more gushing, but in this game every shot you land in an enemy splatters you with blood. in 1st person mode you see your weapons get drenched, and in third person mode you see the whole character soaked.
as for the horror part of the game, it's all based on startling. it's got the creepy atmosphere thing going from silent hill, but almost all the times it made me jump were monsters crashing through windows, walls, or hallucinations from your character that just come out of nowhere at the least expected moment and have loud piercing noises. those get really annoying after a while, they come up alot when you haven't killed any monsters for a while, it's got that whole 'bloodlust or death' theme to it.
i'm about 3 hours into it so i pretty much know nothing about the storyline, but from what i've seen it's pretty damn fucked up.
so far i give it a 7/10 because the gameplay is good, extremely gory, fun when you're killing things, but way too heavy on the 'all of a sudden out of nowhere' scare tactics.

It's pretty good, but really monotonous. The game is loooooonnnnnng... you've got a long road ahead of you, but you've pretty much seen and done and killed everything already. But some of the locales are really interesting, it's a great world and well worth playing to the end. I loved that abandoned asylum.
I like the atmosphere, it's suffocating. Finding out about the history of the island is fun, those archives that you unlock are pretty interesting. I also like the moral angle... I got the good ending the first time, I saved lives and was a goody goody, but now I want to go back and kill everyone, be a badass, get the bad ending.
The game is buggy as hell, though! I fell through a hill into a limbo that consisted of clouds and pink stuff at one point. I'm pretty sure that wasn't supposed to happen... and I also get stuck on railings and chairs a lot.
