Interesting little survival horror from the very early days of the PS2. Felt quite like a PS1 game with nicer graphics. A curious take on the survival horror genre because while you have unlimited ammo in the manner that you can refill it fully any time from certain points, it's actually quite limited because the amount you can take is fairly small. There are other types of special ammo, but they seem even rarer so ammo was very very scarce making it quite hard at times. You also only ever have 1 gun but can upgrade and modify it. Started playing it through the PS2 classics manager, but then due to quite a lot of slowdown, switched to emulation on PC hence the significant increase in quality of the screenshots due to the emulator's upscaling. Other than the technical details, it was a fairly standard B movie plot of marines killing an ancient bacteria that takes over things. Got this one as a present many years ago and glad to have finally got to play it cause it was a good horror romp.
