OR you can take you time and sneak around enjoying the ambience. These quibbles aside, I must say that this game has some of the best gameplay you're going to find and it is possible to race through levels virtually at the speed of thought. The other-dimensional levels sometimes smack too much of someone sitting around thinking, 'okay, it's another dimension, so what would be weird to discover there?' And the results are sometimes predictable and seem inspired by 1970's prog-rock album covers. I think survival horror elements work best when they take place in the natural world for contrast and it is this reason that makes the office complex levels of the game the most thrilling. Someone said this game 'peaks out too soon'. It's just annoyingly long, irritatingly bombastic, and gratuitously gross.

I keep coming back every year to replay this, though I must say that fighting that howling ambulating scrotum monster toward the end always gives me a headache, even with the invulnerability cheat enabled. An excellent game, with pretty well realised and thought out interdimensional travel concepts.
