I don't think this will be as successful as the Friday the 13th game but I think it should be fun.
Players being able to fight back the normal way will probably cause some balancing issues on a game to game basis. In F13 there was a lot more of a random element to it, even if you wasn't a good Jason you could still kill a few good campers and even if you wasn't a good camper you could still escape, and there was a lot of creative ways to do that. In this one I could just see it being unbalanced one way vs. the other and being not as fun. But we will see. At least the game looks graphically beautiful and it looks better than F13.
