Good review. I've seen other people commenting about the 'wackiness' of the characters as well.

That's funny, because I didn't know there was a Wii version... again, due to the name differences! Poor naming practices, I guess.

The Wii port was rather obscure, Zipp. I'm not surprised that you weren't aware of its existence. ;-)

I knew of Obscure 1, but Obscure 2 was, well... obscure!

Yeah, I'd say I really agree with this review. It has its suspense/scare moments and some plot twists (ie: deaths) that do provide a good shock when you first experience them and you really want to like it, but it's just so clunky that you can only give it a lukewarm (at best) recommendation.

Funny you should mention Rule of Rose, was about to bring it up. Creepy as heck but the game so clunky that the effect is almost (but thankfully not quite) ruined.

Thanks for reading OD! I really liked your review of the game and kind've held it up as the standard that I had to meet while writing mine.

That's right! The chainsaw! Isn't it only useful for those scripted areas where you have to chop a log out of your path? But utterly worthless in battle? I had trouble understanding that. "Okay, this thing is perfect for chopping down a tree, but it won't damage enemies noticeably. That'll trick them damn know-it-all players!"

Yeah, I was really tempted to mention the Chainsaw in my review, but after reading the section it originally was in it was hard to recapture the thread of the review, so I left it out.
