This game starts out great and a lot of fun. The vocals are awesome, the graphics will definitely bring you into the movie. The game play is decent, at least when you are playing the game. I'm not sure why it pauses to reload so often, but it's very annoying. Console games aren't supposed to do this, you would expect it on maybe a PSP version, but not your console.
All in all, I love Nightmare, the story line is actually decent, but the time wasted waiting and waiting on the game drives you crazy and you end up quickly turning off the game. Rent it, and if you have a lot of time, play the game through. I really want to know what happens next, but I can't spend 5 hours/day playing the game, of which 3 hours will be watching the screen load.
