5.0 out of 5 stars Better then Resident Evil in many ways, October 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Run Like Hell (Video Game)

Run Like Hell had me running to the video game store and impatiently waiting in line to buy this gem.

*Graphics-The graphics are simply amazing and vibrant.
The character models are life-like and realistic. Sometimes you can forget your playing a game and not watching an animated movie!
The cut-scenes really push the story along.

*Sound-I have my PS2 hooked up to my Surround System(and locked the doors from pesky compalining neighbors).
The sound is very rich and realistic. Each door opening and closing made me jump.
In some levels you can hear the "thumping"of the monsters footfalls, i nthe next room and you would think they would jump through the television any minute.
The best part is the live voice overs, with such great talents as Lance Hendrikson and Clancy Brown. Each character comes "Alive" with the voice overs.

*Control-Altho, I found the control easy to adapt to, the absence of a "custon Configuration" had me beating my head off the floor.
The only other confusing part is the "upgrading of weapons interface". Take your time and go over this throughourly, it could make the difference from starting over and over..
The main interface is good, and the "Aiming" is very precise.

*Replay-Like most "Survival Horror" games, you can only play them over so many times..I have 2 more levels to go till I beat the game, so I won't know what hidden secrets are i nthere till I finish..

*Final Words-Better then Resident Evil in many ways, but still sticking true to the Surival Horror premise. If you are a fan of this Genre, then run like hell out to your nearest game store and pick this up..
Unplug the phone, lock the doors, shut off the lights, buy your Girlfriend/boyfriend a new book, and prepare to "live" this game!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A true cinematic experience!, December 2, 2002

my friends said i was stupid when i first rented this game, when they played it they disliked how they were stuck all the time etc. i played it and got used to how it worked, though it has its cons (hard puzzles, easy to get lost, and constant shooting) its pros make up for it (great voice overs, unbelievable graphics, easy control, beautiful bloody story, etc.) i was getting in to the game and when i offered my friend if he wanted to play again, he said "you're making it look great, like a movie" i loved it, i guess it depends on what kind of gamer you are. i highly recommend this one to sci-fi fans (but rent it first to see if you like it)

4.0 out of 5 stars RLH was a Fun One, November 4, 2002

I don't want to argue with other reviewers, but I thought the game was rather easy to complete. Now that doesn't mean that I didn't like the game. I thought the graphics were incredible and the storyline held true to most Sci-fi horror games (save yourself and the human race). Unlike other games, the voice overs/acting was very well done and in general the whole game played out like a movie, which I liked. The Music was good and the sound effects did their job. I definitely jumped out of my shoes a couple of times. Plenty of weapons to choose from, most of them needed to be powered up with items you find during gameplay (some had two different types of triggers). I didn't notice the mosters getting smarter on their own, the game made them harder to beat, but they didn't really change their patterns of attack. The bosses were not overly difficult to beat once you learned their moves and because the game gives you so much health and healing powers, I hardly ever had to continue the game. The puzzles aren't impossible to solve, but you find yourself having to look around for the clue quite a bit. I didn't like the fact that once you completed a section of the game, there was no going back to maybe look over the area more closely (makes you wonder what you left behind). There are some blantant uses of the 'F'-word (4 or 5, I think) as well as many of the other 'more acceptable' profanities, so that's your call, they're your kids!! My advice is to rent it for 5 days, two hours a day should be more than enough time to finish this one off. Replay value doesn't seem to be too high, I am already looking forward to playing something else. Recommend playing this one, just not buying!!
