It was a proper scary game - the atosphere and tension made it scary, it didn't rely on the "Boo!" aspect all the time, ala Doom3.

However I do not wish for a remake - because with modern graphics, sounds and lighting it'll probably be too scary for little ol' me :p

The voice acting is one the thing that really makes the game. The recordings are really creepy and haunting... you really get the feeling that something truly awful happened.

Played this a year or two ago and was rather disappointed - it's showing it's age (even with the textures update, and a modified config file to make it run at 1600x1200) and isn't a patch on Deus Ex IMO.

Ahead of it's time, yes, but that doesn't mean that 7 years later it can still hold it's own.

I wish I could get into this game. I have a copy but for some reason I just can't get into it. Maybe I'm just to used to modern games that hold your hand as you play. I think I just get slightly frustrated by not knowing quite where to go and it seems monsters spawn periodically when you're wondering around aimlessly. And they keep killing me :(

Maybe I'll try some of these high-def things, might make it a bit easier to get into.
