Dark Energy Digital sets the bar incredibly high for every other developer out there as a company that not only cares and supports their games but continuously strives to improve them even after they have your money. Hydrophobia: Prophecy is not only the best iteration of the game to date, it is by far the most visually stunning and engaging game I've played on my PC since Crysis 2, and for only $12 you won't find a better game or a better bargain.

A game that will steal you away with its ridiculously detailed rendering – of water.

Dark Energy has proven that determination and commitment do actually pay off. Hydrophobia Prophecy is in fact a great game that deserves attention from both newcomers to the brand and gamers that might have already played the older versions of the game.

Dark Energy is to be commended for their interest in community feedback and for releasing an improved version of the game rather than a half-hearted port.

It's the best Hydrophobia yet, and it's absolutely worth a look, but it still falls just shy of greatness.

There's a lot of interesting fodder here, but at this point, Dark Energy would be better off running with a clean slate instead of essentially patching and re-patching this one. If you are curious and can tolerate the low points, give it a run. But if you have already stepped into Kate's shoes on XBLA, there's no need to lace them up again.

Hydrophobia: Prophecy is a bargain title with a unique twist to the third-person run & gun. It remains to be seen if "swim & gun" games will make a splash in the industry, but this one is worth a look.

Prophecy significantly improves upon the original Hydrophobia, but not all of the issues from last year's Xbox Live Arcade game have been resolved.

Hydrophobia Prophecy is a challenging and original game that takes the use of water to a whole new level. Unfortunately there are some annoying downsides, like the over usage of cut scenes and the often terrible voice overs.
