The graphics in the game are simply amazing. No other game surpasses it. The heavily modified Quake3 engine definatley gets a workout here. Attention to detail is top shelf and it shows. Little touches like faces in the flames and insane babbling children add to the overall feel of the game.
Music is equally important for setting the mood and pace of the game and it too is top notch.
Cut scenes are done nicely and work well within the story. By now you probably get the idea that I really enjoyed this game. But it does have some bad points too. Most of the enemies are easily dispatched, one at a time, since any other AI in the area are oblivious to any attacks not directed directly at them. End level bosses do make up a bit for the bad AI though and I find myself going back to save spots just to battle the RedQueen and others.
