Fuck. This. Game.
I'm just speechless as to how badly people can fuck up a great concept. The exploration/adventure areas are phenomenal, but the nightmare sequences exemplify bad game design and throw in some of the worst implementation of waggle I have ever come across on the Wii; the shit just doesn't work. Try and pull a bookshelf down performing the exact motion onscreen? If I'm lucky, maybe it'll work 1 out of every 8 attempts or so. When the fuckers start piling on me? I perform the exact motions the game tells you to perform at the beginning of the game, and my luck is slightly better here; maybe 1 out of every 7 attempts actually results in a damn thing happening. The last time a bunch of them piled on me I threw the damn controller down because I knew I wasn't going to get them off me, and apparently the controller and nunchuk hitting the ground was better interpreted as the correct motion because my character miraculously threw two of the monsters off him when that happened. Don't even get me started on not being able to check your GPS on the run, or at all while holding a flare.
But the worst part of this game, the part that has me most upset is the beyond antiquated save system. The first time it bit me on the ass was when I had to leave the house during one of the in-game cinematics. I can't go to my phone to save, but I notice that the '1' button brings up a pause menu. There's a "quit to main menu" option and I test the water by just clicking it once to see what the confirmation prompt is. "Are you sure you want to quit to the main menu?" I figure that since it didn't mention anything about "progress since last save will be lost," surely this game has up to the minute autosaves. The first time that bit me on the ass I lost almost 2 hours of gameplay. Hell, the game even placed me 10 minutes before the actual save point just for spite. The next time the save system bit me on the ass was just now when while in the mall Harry just decided to stop moving his right arm. I couldn't open any doors, go to my phone, or do anything. I had to quit and reload only to find out my last save was apparently back at the nightclub. I'm pretty sure that I had saved since then, but it's not like there's any way for me to know one way or another.
I really don't know what to do with this game. If the game was just the psychology and regular adventure moments this game would be an A, but with the nightmare scenes and with a save system from the last millennium, this game is a fuck minus.
