This game has everything. Great dialogue and speech (unlike Final Fantasy), hard and taxing puzzles (unlike Resident Evil), hard and challenging bosses (again, unlike Resident Evil) and an amazing, complex, adult storyline. This is more like a movie. The twists of the story, I won't give them away, are great and it is one of few Playstation games that offers a good challenge. It is Resident Evil style but Res Evil is much too easy and the dialogue in the cut scene is bad. In FEAR EFFECT the cross between FMV and active play is created well and there is no significant change in graphics. It is a great game, long (4 discs), challenging with both puzzles and bosses and packed with action. If you liked Res Evil, BUY THIS!!!!!
