Any tips when playing The Suffering for the first time?

- Don't horde your insanity. The more you use it, the more you level up its power.
- Tossing a flash (or any other) grenade down a burrower hole will instakill them.
- Make sure you don't miss the doctor's file on Torque after you defeat him at the asylum. It's spoilerific.
- Don't play the sequel. It's not bad, but the plot craps all over the first game by trying to saddle Torque with excess mental baggage.
- Yes, that guy just said oval office. Yes, that prisoner was making veiled references to a gay prison lover. Yes, this game will gleefully kill children.

God, I adored The Suffering...

Play it how you want. There's kind of a debate between "play it as a cover-based shooter" and "boost your balls off," but in my experience, it's fun either way.

Play it as both. Random grunt enemies are fine for boosting, but if you boost like an idiot during the boss encounters (the first transforming tank leaps immediately to mind), you're gonna get your face shot off pretty quickly. Mix and match.
