It ’s not a unrelentingly lurid area as far as the fright gene goes , but it ’s scary on its term when it comes to setting a consistently premonition air . Seeing the streets overcharge with blood , the urban center in wrecking , wailing zombies , and victims is more than enough to unsettle the player and keep them on their toe for the respite of the game – especially with Nemesis soon on Jill ’s lead .
