Pros: *Awesome, creepy story *Great gameplay *Game to remember
Cons: Nothing really besides that the retail release from Legacy interactive is horrible compared to what Nordic Games released.
Overall Review: This review is on the retail box release of the game, and not the game itself! The game is amazing (5 Eggs). I was waiting for the retail release instead of buying it straight from Steam. Thought I'd get some amazing goodies like the ones Nordic Games was showing, but instead all we get is a cheap cover slip and a clear DVD Case that has just the game. Yup, instead of post cards, a physical paperback book, and whatever else. All we get is the game and everything else is digital. If you are just looking to buy the game, go ahead and get it on Steam or Origin. Waiting on the retail release was just a waste and Legacy Interactive messed it up by being cheap. If you can get your hands on the one Nordic Games released and have a DVD player that reads region 2 DVD, then go for it because it is completely worth it. Don't get this one from Legacy Interactive, it doesn't even come with a physical manual...
