I have to agree that the levels, in my opinion, look great. Some of the
detail like in the machines working away in the back ground look stunning.
Just done the bit where you pick up the barrels and drop them into the
incinerator - cool. Also, seeing those spiders crawl out of cracks in walls,
yuk !

As someone that is not a major gamer and just likes to experience these
things, the only point I feel where it's let down, is the already mentioned
"Darkness" to the levels. While it def does add to the suspence of the game,
it is also in a way one of ots downfalls.
