The modern horror game is one that sticks pretty close to the blueprint laid out
by Capcom's 1996 release Resident Evil. Slow pacing, methodical puzzles, and
scares centered around things that jumped out of the darkness were the order of
the day then, and since that time, games have roughly based themselves on this
concept. Surreal's new game, The Suffering, goes for the horror thing with
creepy monster design and startling visual trickery, but it also ditches most of
the ammo-conservation and slow pacing found in a majority of horror-themed
games. The end result is a much more action-packed experience that might be a
little too straightforward in spots, but it does make for a solid action game.
In The Suffering, you'll play as a thick-sideburned tough guy named Torque. The
game opens with Torque being led to his new cell on death row at Abbott State
Penitentiary, an island-based prison where the baddest of the bad go to die.
Torque has been convicted of murdering his wife and two sons, but he doesn't
actually remember anything concerning their murders. After a brief intro, a
bunch of creepy monsters attack the prison, slaying many of the guards and
inmates alike. This leaves Torque free to explore so that, hopefully, he can
escape the prison island and reach safety.
Shortly after getting out, Torque picks up a large shiv that he can use to
battle the monsters. Along the way, he'll also pick up other weapons, including
a pistol, a tommy gun, a shotgun, flares, flashbangs, and so on. You'll also
acquire bottles of pills, which act as healing items that can be used at any
time. Additionally, you'll get a flashlight that you can clip to the front of
your shirt, which comes in handy because much of The Suffering is superdark.
You'll also learn early on that Torque has the ability to transform himself into
a big monster when you fill up his "insanity meter." The monster does pretty
serious damage to most foes, but you'll have to watch the meter closely and
change back manually before it empties. If you let it drain all the way, Torque
won't survive. Torque's monster form is an interesting addition, but it's
usually easier to just pick off enemies from a distance with one of your many
firearms, thus making the monster form generally feel like more of an
afterthought than a necessity.
The game is pretty focused on combat against various creatures. Each creature
has its own moves and abilities. Some will hang back and try to pelt you with
projectile attacks, while others will attempt to get up close and personal. The
hangmen will simply descend from the ceiling and attempt to choke the life out
of you, while the burrowers you'll encounter later on will pop up out of the
ground and attempt to whip you with chains. The game is pretty good at giving
you a lot of targets to shoot at, and as a result, you'll usually have more than
enough ammo to deal with any situation, though the higher difficulty settings do
toughen things up a bit.
While the game is good at giving you plenty of monster-shooting action, it also
really could have used either some more tactics for monsters or more varied
types of monsters. Without this, the game's action does grow a little tedious
over time, since you'll essentially face the same handful of creatures from
start to finish, and you'll rarely have to change tactics to deal with them.
Aside from shooting things, you'll also do some light puzzle-solving. Most of
this is as simple as finding a button or a switch to open a door, but you'll
also have to push or pull boxes around, put out fires that block your path, and
so on. On top of this, there are multiple ways to play the game, depending on
your disposition. You'll run into trapped guards and inmates from time to time,
so you can choose to help them by getting them out of their current binds or by
leading them to safety. Or you can ignore them. Or you can simply blast them and
take any items they may have on their persons. These choices are essentially
scored and tabulated behind the scenes, and at the end of the game, you'll see
one of three different endings based on what sort of person you were.

Install Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unpack the rar sequence.
Install the game. Apply the crack & patch in the folder Crack folder (included
in the .iso)
If it *ever* asks if you want to install something other than the game, SAY
NO! Do not install directx. Do not install gamespy arcade. Do not install phree
german pr0n! If it says there is an error, click ignore or continue. Make
sure your DirectX is up-to-date, as well as all your drivers and any other
programs the game may require.
Apply the crack in the aptly named /Crack folder. Do this
by copying it into the directory you installed the game to; sometimes it will
be in a subdir, ie /[gamedir]/bin - in this case, put it there. Search for the
file if you cannot find it. If windows asks you if you want to overwrite, click
yes.
DO NOT UPDATE. Never update unless you know what you are doing and have the
appropriate patch for that particular version.
