It's been 7 or 8 years since I played this but I was trying to explain to my girlfriend while we were playing Bioshock, what the big deal was, and this is the only scene I could remember. To this day it still strikes fear in me. At the time I actually thought something was going wrong with the game or video card for the first few moments.
I'm surprised that shotgun managed to not rot and fall apart in those 5 minutes.
Not really a spoiler, since it's wildly obvious about an hour into the game.
Think about the logistics though. Tau Ceti is 30 light years from Earth, so the jettison explosion accelerated the habitat to the speed of light? Then in the infinite void of space, it happened to crash into a planet, one that could support life. The annelids survived the force of an impact into a planet at the speed of light.
In SS2, guns fall apart after 12 shots and you need special training to know how to stab things with a sharp rock. The suspension of disbelief continues.
Yeah. The main source of suspense for this scene was the fact that it was the first time something actually happened in the game; it was 5 hours of elevator repair up until this point.

I only just got a copy of this and was able to run it under Windows XP. They sure as don't make games like this any more. This game is sci-fi horror at its finest.
