The Suffering: Ties That Bind

Overall rating: 3 out of 5

It's back! The first Suffering game followed its hapless protagonist, Torque, as he tried to escape a demonic prison. This second game, promised to be more terrifying than the last in every way, follows the mentally troubled hero as he returns at last to his home city of Baltimore. But he finds no relief here from the nightmares that continue to haunt him, as he finds his hometown subject to the same chilling terrors that tormented him in the carnate prison. Before, Torque was always on the verge of insanity, and we're sad to say that he has not yet overcome his condition. In fact, giving in to the numbing relief of madness may be the only way to survive this adventure. He is given his instructions by the shadowy Blackmore, as he shoots and fights his way to uncovering why he has so little control over his deteriorating mental condition. It's difficult to tell what is more terrifying ? the world inside Torque's troubled mind or the one outside his body. Is one connected to the other? Explore the both worlds, through a series of flashbacks, or walking the slum streets, where gun crime, squalor and misery thrive. Decisions that you make affect the path of the story, and each action you make is rated either as good or evil. This in turn affects your 'inner demon', and as the demon within you grows, so can your powers, until you finally unleash them. It's clear that Torque is in no position to sanely judge what is going on around him, what is real and what is not. But it's equally clear that the streets of Baltimore are not what they once were, and that Torque can play a part in saving the people of the slums. The game's journey, if you can bear it, is exploring both yourself and your surroundings.

[Highly rated reviewer]

Nice return of Suffering.. Story picks up from the end of the first & carries on with all the thrills & jumps of the first.. Dont be thinking that it's gonna be to easy though cause it comes back & bites in the rear. Good play.. I might even rent again just for a gore fest.. :)

By afterpuppet (14 reviews) from toon , 12 Nov 2007

THIS GAME IS SORTED. IF YOU LIKED THE FIRST ONE THEN YOU LIKE THIS! ITS BASICALLY MORE OF THE SAME AND IF YOU HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF THE FIRST INSTALLMENT. THEN THIS IS A GREATER CHALLENGE(IMPOSSIBLE MODE IS JUST THAT!).IT STARTS WHERE THE FIRST LEFT OFF AND ITS STRAIGHT INTO THE LOONEY TUNES,NUTTY,PYSCO KILLING PEOPLE. TOP KNOTCH. THE PLOT IS THIN BUT WHO NEEDS IT WHEN THE GAME PLAY IS GOOD. HUMAN OPPONENTS HAVE GOOD A.I. AND MONSTERS HARD TO KILL. SWEARING AND DECAPITAION AWAIT.
