...but I love this game. The camera angles are a bit spotty at times, but with the quick reload speed that isn't a problem if you get killed.

I loved the Suffering, and though I have no idea how far through this game I am, I have to say that the Suffering 2 is far superior. There is constantly something going on in the environments: breathing, screams, creepy background ambience, snippets of conversation. Corpses and blood everywhere. And let's face it, if you like hard core graphic violence horror games, this one is for you.

If you liked the first at all, just buy this. If you didn't like the first one, go back to playing Mario or whatever.

Just finished this game on easy, now I'm playing it on the hardest level, and let me tell you, it's like night and day, alot more challenging, tons more baddies and even a few more bosses. So, I got to say I'm having a blast playing this, but then again, I had a blast playing the first one. I have been playing games for years, and I have only given 1 game 5 stars (Manhunt), but the first Suffering comes close, and this one is just a tad bit behind that. I like the fact that you can't finish this game in 1 night, some levels take numerous attempts plus there is also the exploring. For example, a couple of times you come across characters who are there to help you if you follow them, and then they run ahead, but you want to take it slow, because just like the first one, there is lots of cool hidden stuff.

Torque is now in bleak and dreary Baltimore, when has become overun with alot of the same monsters from the first one and even a few new ones, and you can read about every one of them with the journals that are at your disposal to read anytime. You again have the choice of playing good or evil. I played good the first time and I'm killing everything in sight this round, so I'm not yet sure if that is going to effect the ending.

The weapons are numerous and powerfull, we are even talking grenade launchers and 7 or 8 other guns this time. But another thing that separates this game from others like it, is that with some levels you just don't blow everything up and advance, no, you got to think the way out, and I'm not going to lie, it's not so easy sometimes.

Yes, it's very violent and graphic, also lots of language, but if you could handle the first one, then you'll have no probs with this one, but, like I said before, take your time, explore every angle and corner, cuz' I guarantee you, there is so much to do and see, that you don't wanna miss a thing.

Here's looking forward to Sufffering 3....

graphics............4.5 stars, Sometimes a bit dark, but overall very, very impressive
game play............4 stars, Nothing distracting, just gliches here and there
sound/music..........4.5 stars, Perfect horror music, and I can actually understand what each character is saying
horror rating........4 stars, I thought the first one was scarier, but this one is still creepy

This is a great continuation to the original. Better graphics, more atmosphere, more combative battles, not easy but that's only if you don't choose your weapons wisely. A really dark story that's well matured for an adult audience as well.

I played the first one a while back on hard mode in the Xbox so i knew what i was getting myself into. This one is totally different. Just like they said the difficulty is alot harder on hard mode. when you see a gun (machine gun or tommy gun) on easy mode instead of a gun there will be a pole on hard mode. What makes it even more difficult is that when you fight bosses you must do it from far away. Without knowing they will surround you and there will be 3 on easy mode/8 on hard mode. Sometimes its kinda impossible but thats the fun of it. This game is worth your money PERIOD! the graphics are surreal, the sound makes for a very scary game, the gameplay is kinda difficult since one joystick moves him and the other uses to look around. Some will say that thats why the camera sucks. Just get used to it and you wont even worry about the camera as long as you master it! Choose your guns wisely cause you might pick one up and only find ammo for that gun once in a lifetime.
OVERALL id give this game a 5 because its not something that you beat and then trade it. This will be a game where you still have it and are stuck on a part (depending on difficulty)!

Later!

Unless this title characters now jump out of the video game world and chase you throughout your house...what in the world justifies the high cost of the 12 year old title. I was born at night, but not last night. If you choose to pay this much for a old game...I have some great seaside property on one of Saturn's moons to sell you...cheap!

The original suffering blended horror and action quite well and the setting was one of the most original setting for a horror game. The sequel on the other hand doesn't in general have that same creepy atmosphere like the first game, This one is more in your face monster slaying with very little puzzles, and little reasons is to why monsters are attacking only Baltimore and not any where else. Some of the reasons as to what the monsters represent looses its vibe compared to the first game. The game's presentation though is very good everything for the most part looks a lot better then the first game a lot more detailed characters, gritty urban streets and the grainy filter is always a nice touch. The game has a few endings that warrant replaying the game few more times which is huge plus since there's no other game modes. Its still good game but it looses that horror edge when setting the game in a city

This sequel to this Game is flawed and mostly unplayable for any system. I read the Playstation 2 reviews and decided perhaps the Xbox version would not have these serious problems; I was wrong. Either no one has finished the game or its just my game, but when you get to the last few levels the game will freeze and become unplayable. If anyone out there has figured out how to fix the problem for Xbox please make it public. I hate the fact that I can not finish the game after investing so much time playing it. I was able to finish the first game which has problems to, but at least it was still playable, this game is not. The problems are so bad I don't believe Midway took the time to have game testers check it out. The flaws are impossible to miss. Buy at your own risk!

this game is awsome if you like survivial horror and shooter games this game is for you both suffering games are best of the best it has a good story which you a guy name touque trying to find out why is wife and kids are dead and why he went to prison for the crime as you play the game the story unfolds its worth checking this game out a good game for a good price if you have an xbox 360 the suffering is backwards compatible if you have a hard drive also its for playstation 2 and original xbox

Although some parts of the game were difficult, it was quite fun & I enjoyed the challenge. Great horror, action game!

This game is surprisingly interesting. The fact that you can carry over the first games' data over to it plus you can make your character good or evil makes it a game to play time and again. The multiple endings are also a noteworthy notion.
