Line 6:
This game is hardly your stereotypical FPS. While the gameplay never leaves the first-person perspective except for cutscenes, the gameplay varies widely from sequence to sequence. Some areas demand standard shooting and platforming skills, while others take the form of puzzles and resource management.
Critical reception was fair to good, as critics praised the concept but not the execution. The graphics were greatly outdated (resembling Nintendo 64 graphics more than anything else), the game didn't give the player any alternate solutions to its puzzles, and the like. A Let's Play of the game can be found [http://www.viddler.com/explore/yourleadingman/videos/1/ here]{{Dead link}}.

* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: You're a dog that appears to be a boxer at the time, and you still have to crouch to get through. No one notices barking or claws clicking.
* [[Bedsheet Ghost]]
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
** Or one could just [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|kill all the workers in the area]].
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Trying to keep Bryson from being hit by the separation procedure and possibly driven mad, Raimi destroys the machinery that's keeping the rift stable. This does result in Bryson being taken down and sent to the medical wing, but it also means that a huge incorporeal demon can pass through and start making everything worse. Though it can't be solely blamed on Raimi - after the machinery was destroyed, one of the technicians insisted that the rift be closed down lest something escape, but [[The Dragon|Rourke]] orders it forced wide open, and when he gets argued with, he gives the engineer a present from his gun to the head to convince the other engineer to open it.
* [[No Sidepaths, No Exploration, No Freedom]] : For a game with a fundamental point of scaring people to control random guards, there is only one direction you can ever go in any given situation whatsoever, going back is never an option, as the game will never let you reopen some doors, not that there's a thing to find anyways.
* [[Playing Tennis With the Boss]]: In an odd variant, you possess his missiles and guide them back manually.
* [[Railroading]]: One of the game's biggest faults is the limited amount of freedom given in progressing through the game.
