About this game
The Suffering: Ties That Bind follows in the footsteps of its predecessor by combining a disturbing horror atmosphere with action/shooter gameplay.
Players can switch between third person and first person depending on their preference, and will shoot a lot of hideous demonic manifestations of evil before the game is done.

The player is also able to transform into a hideous creature at key times in the game, which allows him to engage in intense melee combat.
The game includes a morality system which records the player's actions during gameplay and changes the story accordingly, and also alters the player's creature form.
Everything from the first The Suffering has been refined and turned up a notch for the sequel.
The story picks up right where the first game left off.
The player once again takes on the role of Torque, former death row inmate with a mysterious past.
Now returning to his home town of Baltimore, Torque must confront the mysterious Blackmore, the man who may or may not have killed Torque's family.
But it won't be easy, as the hideous creatures from the first game have now overrun the streets of Baltimore.
Will Torque finally be able to come to grips with his past?
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks The Suffering: Ties That Bind for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Suffering: Ties That Bind to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2005.
