The Good

Great visuals and good sound, Controls well.

The Bad

Weapons really lack punch, Increased reliance on creature form doesn't make the game any more interesting, Functionally identical to the original game.

The Bottom Line

THE SUFFERING: TIES THAT BIND is a revolutionary action horror game that emphasizes the disturbing terror of its predecessor, with new twisted creatures and a few familiar faces. Set in the unforgiving streets and prisons of Baltimore, the player once again controls Torque as he seeks revenge against the mysterious grand manipulator Blackmore, a man somehow tied to the death of Torque's family. Players will explore the tough inner city, with poverty and urban injustices trapping people just as effectively as a physical prison. The unique morality system returns, as players delve into the perverse world of Torque's sanity to discover his past and struggle to control his future. Source: Midway Home Entertainment.
