Just finished the game. I enjoyed it overall, though I still consider 2 to be the best of the series.
Posted the awesome theme music in the thingy, incidentally. I highly recommend it.
SPOILERS BE BELOW, YAAAAAAR!(I'd hide these, but I think everyone here who is going to play it has played it already)
I was really disappointed when they took the safehouse away from me. I didn't like taking damage just trying to save, though once I figured out the candle/pendant thing it got to be less of a pain. Of course, in retrospect, the demon I had the most problems with (the crying babies over the inventory box) turned out to be my own fault - stupid doll, stupid Walter!
That, and I found having to return to all the levels again quite annoying, particularly with that slow Maria-wannabe in tow. And a dual-pistol Walter just ain't fair...
Of course, nothing compares to the outright hilarity of the burping monsters. Particularly on stairs!
One thing that's kinda neat that I didn't figure out: ALL the ghosts are unique individuals. I knew that the major ghosts where single entities, but it turns out you could stake any of 'em and never see that one again, because the lesser ghosts were merely earlier kills in the sequence.
Here's a
full, official list of all 21 victims. Note that victims 7 and 8, the young Locane siblings, are the 2-headed baby monsters, though why there are so many of them I don't know.
