		The clank of the metallic floor underfoot, the screams of soldiers returning fight at aliens before being ripped apart in the distance, and the blip of the user’s radar, which lets players know an alien in the room, all add to the significant tension created through the visuals.
		Argonaut builds further suspense with authentic head-tracking movements when the gamer crawls or crotches and long ventilation shafts that are very claustrophobic, but that may also cloak the existence of an alien.
		Argonaut has offered control-setting options including alterable analog dead zones, which helps, but Sony’s inferior design damages yet another gameplay experience.
