While the water behavior is exceptional, character models move more stiffly and more robotic than what weve come to expect this generation.

Search Hydrophobia Hydrophobia: Prophecy Review Send terrorists to a watery grave.

By Daemon Hatfield Updated: 17 Jan 2012 7:49 pm Posted: 17 Nov 2011 9:40 pm Hydrophobia first arrived last year on Xbox Live Arcade, promising to be just the beginning of a trilogy of waterlogged adventure games.

But after mixed reviews, developer Dark Energy Digital took all that criticism to heart and implemented many story and gameplay changes to the original game.

The result is Hydrophobia: Prophecy, now available on the PlayStation Network.

Since I already liked Hydrophobia quite a bit, I wouldnt say Im blown away by this remixed version, but I definitely still recommend it.

It matches the production values of the best PlayStation 2 games and boasts impressive water physics.

With the help of a friend hiding somewhere on board, she must find her way to safety and maybe even figure out who is behind the attack along the way.

Loading Most of Hydrophobia consists of traversing dangerous environments in order to make it to the next objective while neutralizing any terrorists you encounter.

Typical tasks include finding a key card or scanning walls with your fancy-pants PDA for clues.

While none of this is all that original, I eagerly kept playing to see what the next scene had in store for me.

Open the door to a flooded room and water comes gushing out, spilling into the hallway and into any nooks and crannies.

You start to get a claustrophobic, panicked feeling when water smashes onto the screen, obstructing your view.

Unfortunately, all of this water leads to a fundamental problem.

But you never really get a sense that she is in her own personal hell.

Almost immediately she swims great distances underwater and wades through crushing waterfalls.

Anyone truly hydrophobic would experience deep emotional trauma under these extreme circumstances, but Kate doesnt appear more afraid than any of us would be in her situation.

Kate has just a pistol for a weapon but will find a variety of unorthodox ammunition that allows for creative kills.

A modified version of this gel round will electrocute nearby terrorists.

One of my favorite ways to take out the bad guys is to use a stun round to knock them out while standing in water -- they usually drown before they come to.

I really like how Hydrophobia gives us so many ways to terrorize the terrorists.

One extra step in between your gun and your enemy makes for a more satisfying kill.
