Out right this minute, allot of retailers seem to be stocking it early despite it’s Tuesday release date, heck, I’ve even seen it on the shelves at my local ASDA, and they’re crap for selling the latest PC games. My copy was waiting for me this morning and first impressions are very good. If you liked the demo, you’ll find little to disappoint with the full version.
The AI is top notch, the first time I’ve actually found myself being flanked by enemies, pinned down by their weapons, flushed out with grenades and even encircled by those I foolishly though just ran away to hide. It gives the action sequences a much more cinematic feel. The scary bits are plentiful too, the demo only gave a brief taste of these, there are many more in the full game, some of which only made me go ‘meh’ others made me whimper like a little sissy.
It’s certainly not varied, if your not shooting things then you tend to be in dark, dingy corridors waiting for the next apparition to appear, but damn, it’s fun, perhaps some of the most fun I’ve had with a FPS for a long while.

Whoa, just played the demo for the first time. Gave me the craps :' (
The girl at the stairs and then the ghost-guy at the bottom, ArghH!Hh! I shot him for about 3 seconds until i stopped crying, and then i looked and he was gone. And then the corridor! afrata!
I wan to play it all but I don't take being scared well, and that was actually scary, not Doom 3 style, where "scary" means "predictable and dull"
Someone hold me : (

What's your card?
Got another gig of RAM and I can play it on full settings with no stuttering. It's fantastic.
It's a short game, got it on Saturday and completed it on sunday, although it was the only game I played at the weekend, and is definately something I'll be going back to. Also, though I don't want to spoil it, the ending = :-0
Got F.E.A.R today but Fable and Serious Sam 2 are keeping me entertained so i haven't bothered installing it yet.
Quake 4 so soon :' )
Quake 4 so soon :' )

My system isn't brilliant, but I might try it anyway...
