Spoiler: Information

This is not a conventional game, it's genre defying & incredibly original, highly cinematic, & unlike anything else I've ever played. Graphically it pushed the PS3 to it's limits (and beyond), showing what the console was capable of. To have two Hollywood heavy weights in the lead roles was awesome too, & the acting is second to none. It pushed facial capture technology to a level previously unseen before, & the emotions that can be converyed are head & shoulders above many current gen games. Even the PS4 remaster still holds it's own aganst modern games imho. Also, with the story firmly rooted in the Supernatural/Sc-Fi genre, this experience was right up my street. The gameplay is incredibly diverse, & is like a shmogasboard of gaming. Many bog standard gamers didn't get it, simply because it threw the rulebook out of the window & done it's own thing. But that's what makes it stand apart imho, & makes it SUB ZERO!
