It may not be as scary as the previous games, but the combat is an improvement, the movement and controls are smooth, the story is pretty decent, and the environments are top notch. The biggest flaw though is that any of the endings, including the joke UFO ending, are able to be accessed in the first playthrough depending on the player's story choices. This means that all of the tension and story could get massively undercut, and the first impression ruined by accidentally triggering the joke ending.
