If you played and liked any of the other SH's, you'll like this one as well. Graphics are nice--gritty and dark. Sound is top notch as always, and gameplay is similar to the other titles. Controls are more responsive I thought, and your main character is more combat evolved which is relevant to the story. This adds a little more fun factor to the monster battles. A good all around package which is worth picking up if your a fan of the series.
