Not gonna see me arguing too much for the gameplay aspect of the game, as I think it does the stealth and shooting mechanics very standard for the time it came out. I think they took the right approach and having the combat be kind of guerrilla warfare tactics instead of just blow their brains out, as I think most zombie games in the last decade of have sucked a fat nut with overplaying the fuck out of that style.(Like, that World War Z game that looks a Chinese bootware version of Left 4 dead, for example.) But, I went back and played the remastered version and definitely wasn't as interested in the gameplay as I was with the first time around.

However, the voice acting, story and visuals were popping some fat ass boners throughout the entire game, and that's what makes it a good game. I can deal with standard gameplay mechanics when the story/characters/visuals are all solid. They do character development so god damn well throughout and have one of the better stories told in decades as far as horror games go. The setting/backdrop of the game is gorgeous with how it was designed, and the zombies had pretty nifty designs to boot.
