Alright, props are due.

That game looks PHAT. I was like, "ohhhhhhhhhh!" When that chick ran up the side of the wall.

I would be highly interested in seeing more, because the hand-to-hand combat looked slow, retarded, and a bit too easy. The enemy kept doing the same, lethargic, easily dodgable move over and over again. I think the guy playing got hit on PURPOSE so that we would be able to see how he reeled from the blow.

Pressing buttons to open up one locker that happens to have the key you're looking for? Kind of corny and old-fashioned puzzle-solving, but at least there are puzzles to solve and not just mindless first-person shooting.

I like it more than I dislike at this point, however.

I've yet to see a Japanese dev get the first person thing down.
