[quote name='SteamboatOperator']Official PlayStation Magazine gave Amy a 4/10, yikes. Supposedly it's sporting a lot of annoying technical issues and "the worst checkpointing system of all time". 47 on Metacritic thus far. Damn shame. Perhaps it was a good thing the game was pushed back a week for us US'ers, may have saved some people some frustration and a few bucks.[/QUOTE]
I read the Computer and Video Games review yesterday and had the same reaction, but the GamingXP (an Austrian publication) review released this afternoon has eased some of my fears. It wouldn't surprise me if people are turned off by the poor reviews because while most reviewers have praised it for being conceptually unique, the consensus is that it is lacking quite a bit of polish in the gameplay department. With the exception of Siren: Blood Curse and perhaps the first Dead Space, there haven't been very many proper survival horror games this generation. I'm still up for a share of this, but i'm not quite as keen on it as i was a month or so ago.
