Edge gave it a 9. To be honest, I'm struggling to justify that. I'd give it a 7.
It was moderately scary at first but the repetition dampened the experience quite a bit and I became desensitised to encounters fairly quickly. I would say this was the game's greatest flaw. The frequency of the encounters and the raw in-your-face nature of the enemies wore off fast. It induced more of a sense of panic than actual fear. The only stand out moment was the large pitch black area in the sewers...and perhaps a certain unexpected encounter later in the game.
So not quite the next Amnesia then. I'd say it's more along the lines of something like Condemned or F.E.A.R without weapons...which is more or less what I was expecting. However I would still recommend it as something to kill the time until AAMFP arrives.
