Jim has uploaded his impressions on the game. And I have the feeling some people are gonna get mad at him:

Yeah, that just doesn't sound good to me.

He said the game's at it's best when it's ramping up the horror with the zombie bits. IMO the first game was the same. The zombie sections were the best bits. Doesn't sound like there are too many of them in this one though.

Plus he says the story is a bit of a mess with flashbacks/flashforwards regularly occuring. I absolutely loathe flashbacks. They're just annoying. I think FF games are the only games with flashbacks that I actually like and even then I hate the flashback sections. Like FF7, you get out of Midgar the game's opening up and you're able to buy a load of new materia but then BAM flashback. Wanna find out what happens next? Wanna try out your new stuff? Too bad cuz you can't do any of that. FF8 had it bad too. I actually like the character of Laguna, but it was just a pain in the butt to be cut away from the main story for awhile with pretty much no explanation why.

I am about 10h into the game so almost half and had only one single flashback (that is pretty obvious a flashback) that took like 20 min, and no flash forward so far.
