Best value for money game I ever bought. I've had more fun and derived more enjoyment than I thought possible from something costing only a fiver. If you don't have this you really should pick it up. You can get it on the cheap from Amazon and eBay and it's a fair bet it'll bein in a few bargain bins too.
Hated it at first though.
> So what... where is this game set?
Between Nebrensk and various locations in America. Has a dual storyline, Nebrensk is the setting for the flashbacks, American places for the present.

Yup, anyone can be killed/maimed.
Why oh why couldn't you play it through again with all the powers learnt at the start?

:-D There's sick twisted sadistic b'tard in everyone of us.
My one criticism of SS would be that it has various graphical glitches, such as such an object-acute camera that it jumps annoyingly when you're crouching near walls. Still, that's what the FP view's for. Oh and also the clipping tends to fail occassionally, which has previously resulted in my throwing a shotgun toting nutjob into a wall. T'was funny... I soon grew tired of his writhing however and wrung his neck from the other side of the cubbyhole, leaving his body lodged in the wall as a warning to others and proceding to steal his shotgun and discharge it in a cleaner's face. Excellent.
Tis a minor complaint though. It's a really fantastic game and has a cracking story to boot.
Second Sight has the better story. Both compliment each other really well.
