Wow... I was fourteen when I played this... 2004... sure, the PS2 was out for three years already and there were other scary games out at that time, but I was a little underprivilaged with my game systems. I had a PS1, and there were a SLEW of really good PS1 games out that I could afford. So I started my collection. I had played Syphon Filter once, so I thought I could handle everything. I went to a yard sale and saw this game sitting on a table for ten dollars. I thought, "Sure, I can handle this." The guy said, "It's really scary, are you sure?" He looked at my mother, then to me. I looked at my mother, then to the guy, and confidently said, "I can handle it. I've watched Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street," ect.... I was full of my teenage self. Well, we got home and I put this in my PS1. From the very instant I removed the CD and saw, in the case, to menacing eyes glaring at me, I knew something was up. I put in the game, saw the warning, thought, "Oh, it MAY contain graphic scenes? Big deal. It's like... melted lego block graphics. I can handle it."
