I could only bear to play this game for an hour, this review has it spot on. Probably the biggest problem is the combat sytem which is attrocious. Glad i only rented it...

I like it, and the real time inventory add a bit of suspense to using it (do i have time to make a molotov?).

Also, when looking in a cupboard you can pick up what you want, just look around in the cupboard.
