50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere is incredible with rain that never stops and a haunting piano soundtrack that creates tension and despair in every scene and the graphics were stunning for 2010.

Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are quite a few different playable characters and I actually like all of them except for Madison.
