The Suffering (PS2)

The Suffering really is the scariest yet most addictive game I've ever played. The story is quite weird though. You play Torque, a man convicted of killing his family and is now sentanced to death but on his way to his cell there is an earthquake and hell literaly breaks loose. But the demons are all something to do with the prison's dark history.

The game isn't very long but is very fun and cancel your plans for the next week because it is very addictive. But if you don't mind cursing, graphic violence and some very disturbing flashbacks, then buy it.

Who would I most reccomend The Suffering to? Probably a 17-28 year old. Me? I'm a teenager and I should not have gotten this game. They cuss every sentence in the beginning, so my mother made me mute it the entire game, which is a downer, and the violence she has no problem with, but I know how some mothers are. Anyway, if you're mature enough to take colorful language, intense, brutal violence, and very spooky moments, be prepared to play one of the best games on the Playstation 2 console. I like games that only have 1 way to go, not branching paths where you get lost and it takes 30 minutes to get back, and it doesn't do that. There's always only one way to go, so you are almost never lost. I also like games that take effort to beat, but don't frustrate you beyond beleif. It doesn't do that either! I only died a few times, which makes the gameplay fun and simple. Now, I'm not saying take out ALL of the challenge, but games like Metroid Prime and Turok: Evolution are just plain tough and frustrating. So, all in all, if you can handle the 'F' word 3 times in the first 5 minutes of gameplay, and heads being blown off and the blood sticking to the wall, then BUY THIS GAME!!!
