To its credit, Activision fixed many of the Japanese original's camera problems, but awkward view angles still pop up frequently. Blue Stinger's color palette is too bright and happy to cultivate any fear in the player. ![]() Just don't expect many sudden crap-your-pants scares like in the Resident Evil games. The game's mutant beasties are truly nightmarish. At least the monsters play their roles convincingly. And while the swear-word-riddled voice acting isn't terrible, the lip syncing is laughably bad.
