Uh...yeah...and it was horrible.

Seriously, I love the movie and have it memorized, but the game was pure and utter crap.

I had fun for the first 2 or 3 levels when it was creepy like the movie, but then it was just things everywhere and got old super fast.

I remember playing it, but in as much as I am a huge fan of the movie, I don't remember the game enough to say it was even memorable.

At the end of the day there are a lot better survival horror shooters out there, is pretty much my impression.

I thought it was one of the most innovative games I've ever played. A really different pseudo-3D game with well designed levels. Perfect for portable gaming. Some day it might be nice to see someone give it a real modern fully 3D engine and more complex dynamics.

After having fun with Freedom Fighters I thought I would like it, but I couldn't get into it.

That game was BS...they killed Childs!

Um, didn't they more or less state outright at the end of the Movie that Childs had been dead for a while and was now actually one of "Those Things"?

Nope, it was left open to interpretation. Besides, Childs was too bad ass to let a thing get the drop on him. After all, he was the star of the movie.
