Just finished it. Absolutely loved it!

I agree with what most of you have said in this topic.

The Village was an amazing setting for the central hub and I thoroughly enjoyed unlocking more and more of it as the game progressed.

The castle was the highlight for me! Very reminiscent of the earlier games. My only complaint about this section is that Dimitrescu didn't stalk you for that long? I first noticed her after leaving the "face" room on the second floor balcony. Was that the same with everyone else?

Beneviento's area was really well done. Very creepy and the lack of weapons made it more tense. However it is probably one area that will suffer on repeated playthroughs as I can't see much change in gameplay, even on higher difficulties.

As a whole, Moreau's area was prob the weakest. In fact I can't remember much about it except for the part you're trying to realign the windmills with him in the water. Incidentally my wife watched this part briefly and said it reminded her of the boss fight in the first chapter of Darkside Chronicles when you fight the fish thing as Leon and Krauser. Which it kinda does.

The factory was solid, got turned around a few times which is an aspect of gaming I actually enjoy. Probably went on a little longer than necessary but still enjoyed it! Slightly underwhelmed with Heisenberg boss fight for the reasons others have mention.

The Call of Duty section. I bloody loved it! Such a refreshing change of pace, and it's understandable in context too. I must admit, I was still playing Chris part conservatively until I found the first ammo dump then realised what the developers intended for this part lol.

I must admit overall I found the game too easy on Standard. I only died from instant deaths (the Spiked rollers/Moreau in water etc). Looking forward to the challenge the higher difficulties provide.

Fantastic game, followed on strongly from 7!
