I bought this game because I love horror movies and I heard this is a really scary game. It does scare me a bit, but I'm easily scared, so I can't say it's the scariest game around. With that in mind: I liked the idea of choosing the level of play - easy, medium, and hard. I chose easy and thus far, it has been fairly easy to beat the bad guys. I also am choosing to be "good" however there are two other choices based on a persons play. They can choose to be good, medium, or evil. I had a hard time with the controls, but if you are used to playing resident evil (PS1) then it should be fairly easy to learn the controls for this game. Most of the time finding your way around is easy, but there are times you can get lost trying to figure out which way to go next. For the most part, I enjoy this game and think most people will like this game as well.Read full review
The Suffering is a third-person shooter that was grossly overlooked by the masses upon it's release. Portraying a typical silent hero, you're Torque, a man alone in a prison on a haunted island, with creatures representing the various methods of throughout the island's sordid history, begin manifesting, attempting to kill you. Packed with various "moral choices," you have the option of being a hero, a villain, or largely neutral to the goings on of those you encounter throughout the game. It's packed with intense music, visceral scenes, and a ton of jump-in-fright moments in the game, the atmosphere by far is the best thing going for this game. The graphics are a little dated by today's standards, and the controls could use some work, but other than that, I highly recommend picking this up if you can find it.Read full review
I bought the game because it's got a good review from one of the game magazines. But with no high expectation due to its low/reduced retail price, I didn't care much of it until I actually played it. I played other horror games such as resident evil(most of series), silent hill(1,2,3,4), fatal frame, etc, but the game's got a different story to begin with and a somewhat different style as other games may have shown in the past. It's a 3 year old game, and I think it's still good enough to compete with other newer games out there for ps2. Overall, I recommend this game to try as I've enjoyed playing this game. Certainly, you can't beat the price.
Besides some minor scatches on the disc it work perfect on my playstation 2. I also got the case and manuel in great condition. The suffering is a great horror game, it is a more run and gun type game with some minor puzzle. it has a great story line and depending on your action in the game, determines the outcome of the game ending. One of the best features in the game, is that you can change the view of the game from first person to third person with just a press of a button. Just keep this in mind this game had a 50/50 love/hate relationship with the gamers. Those that love it just loved it, and those that hate it just hated it. To me that what make the game unique I have never seen a game that had that type of rating. the norm is, if the game is bad than most people would say its bad. I remember reading a video game magazine and reading the review, if i remember right, one person doing the review gave it a 8.25 out of a 10 which meant it was a good game to buy. But in the second opinion, some else gave it juast a 5 out of a 10, which mean to stay away from the game or if must just rent it. The suffering was release for the playstation 2 and for the xbox in 2004. this review was for the playstation 2 version, but from what I read about this game, is both versions are nearly identicalRead full review
Two weeks ago my brother told me he had just finished playing this Survival Horror game called The Suffering, and that he had thought it was amazing. He said it's even scarier than resident evil or silent hill. He made me promise to buy it and play it. He said in his opinion the game was 10/10. Well.... With recommendations like that you would think you can't go wrong. I was planning to find it for $6 to $7 used at some point anyway and play it but after my brothers recommendations I bought it new for $19.99 + shipping and tax which came to about $26. I put the game in and saw the intro, and the game started. It seemed adequate at first. But the controls were very bad. And the camera angles were VERY bad at times (even on 3rd person view). I got motion sickness after 1 hour and had to turn it off. The next day I popped it back in and I kind of got used to the camera. And today I finished the game with the GOOD ending. I think this game is a prime example of the fact that an idea alone cannot make a good script for a game. You can't just STRETCH an idea to make a script. You have to use an idea, and then having the idea in mind come up with an actual story to interest people. So having said that I can tell you that this game seriously lacks substance. Even the idea that is stretched out is a mediocre one at best. The gameplay is not good. It is very monotonous, boring and cliche. The controls are bad, the gameplay is awful... All in all it is a waste of time. I donot recommend buying, renting, or playing this game.Read full review
