Sorry to nit-pick something so minor but the plot is heavily science fiction based in both of the previous games.. with "horror" elements. You can be sci-fi and horror at the same time. (The movie Alien comes to mind) The notion that our mitochondria can evolve and take over our bodies is based in factual science. Mitochondria, has its own independent Genome and is what controls the growth of cells. The idea of it acting on its own to kill or mutate its host is taking scienctific fact and stretching it into fiction...sci-fi. So technically I'm right in calling it Sci-fi based. I was sorta wrong saying that the 3rd Birthday isn't at all. It is. Time-travel and altering history is definitely in the realm of Sci-fi...but the reason I'm saying its more fantasy based is due to the craptastic ending. I can't give away details cause I'm sure many people haven't played it all the way yet. Also...In the previous games anything magical in nature was explained by the science elements...in this game its not at all, and it really bugs me because its just too far detatched from series. I had just finished it and was pretty dissappointed with it, to the point that I had to put my gripes out there. I think if it was released as a game on its own with out reference to Parasite Eve I would have enjoyed it much better. Again sorry about the nit-picking in the begining of this rant. I just felt the games had enough sci-fi elements for me to classify it as such. (I realize game genre-wise they are typically classified as horror/survival)
