What players say
This is a mediocre game. it's not nearly as fun as the first, which didn't cost any money. there's nothing to the actual gameplay and the plot feels like a bunch of filler. much like the horror movies it is an homage to, the sequel is made purely to make a sequel and not because there's an actual story to tell.
