Its not all close combat though, and firearms can be acquired too.
An interesting addition is Ethans alcoholism.
This is all very CSI, and fits in well with the rest of the game play.
Im sure the big question many people are asking is; Is it as scary as the first?
Well, no, not really.
But, the game doesnt quite reach the heights of fear of the first game.

Problems do arise on occasion.
This is mainly down to the, sometimes-sluggish controls, and Ethans habit of getting hung up on scenery.

But for sheer chills, the first game still holds the trophy.
