recently i played (and beat) this game! it was a wonderful sequel where the main character (ethan thomas) is now a drunken hobo. (yes ethan is the main character from the first and i beleive he looks better as a hobo. LOL. I like the fact that in order to fire stright (with any of the firearm weapons) you have to take a hit of booze. Its a great effect of gameplay. There are still plenty of gruesome images for you to look forward to. (i.e. A huge bear chases you and its hungry for human flesh... and has consumed some. expect it to be coverd in blood and human tissue. Yes ethan has lost it completly and offically now... and thank god that the metal jawed freak has been replaced with a masked version of ethan... this masked dude torments him alot lol! For one reason or another skx is back and he is freakier than ever. but dont worry he isnt your target... your hunting an organization called the oro. great game for all!
