I can't see why myself I know the cover looks like something out of friday the 13th but it is not a horror game.
If the main guy can't remember his name oh cash was killed then sent to kill people then yeah that would be cool and say its a horror game but its not. Its more of a thriller I mean its a modern day tenchu without ninja's.

Because of its violence? And the scary theme it brings with it. (Dead bodies hung) I think of it as a horror. Message Edited by XIII 43 on 07-11-2004 01:11 PM

I don't think horror is really the right way to classify this game. I consider it just a really good stealth game.

It's not really a stretch to consider it a survival horror game...if you think about it a bit. Your running for your life, with literally EVERYBODY around you trying to kill you. Yeah, it's definitely more of an action game (down the lines of something like Max Payne), but the horror/scare factor is there....especially towards the end (think piggly wiggly). It has just as much gore as most horror films, and the storyline basis itself around snuff films.
So it's not that surprising. I tend to think of it more as an action horror game, in much the same way I see The Suffering.

It is considered Horror I expect because of the idea of the game.... And in that there are dead bodies and stuff, and stuff like that. So I guess it falls under Survival Horror.

I can see why you can see the Horror. I would see it as three things. Survival/Horror/ and what else snuff. I played it and Like it a lot. The main Idea Is not horror but a recording of a snuff Film. Kind of like Max Payne being Noir and not Action Adventure.
