This game is known among many video games fans for the controversy it created upon release, which playing it these days seems ridiculous. It is more like a B grade horror movie than anything and while I'm one for protecting the kiddies from graphic and sexual scenes, there really isn't anything here to be concerned about. It all stems from that old opinion that anything in video games is 10 times worse than what could be in a film or other media. In the end, all this commotion led to the creation of a rating system for video games.
The game itself is just an interactive movie. You go from room to room in the house and if you are there at the right time an FMV plays and then you can trap an Auger (intruder) by pressing B at the right time, if you have the right code colour switched on. The problem with this is that because you are looking for these guys all the time, you miss the story and what the girls are doing, who are generally in one or two of the rooms doing something. Worth a look to see what all the fuss is about, and it's one of those it's so bad it's good games in some respects.
