I agree that it's much more fun playing it as it was meant to be played, but it's just not that practical. When I say you can't see shit, I mean you can't see shit. The least they could have done is to mount the flashlight onto the shotgun, but as it is you have to bring up your flashlight and lower your weapon.

Not all the baddies have the little glow on them all the time. The first creature you encounter (aside from the zombies) has nothing to give up it's position in the darkness. Switching from flashlight to locate it, then back to your weapon is very difficult in my opinion. And to top it off, these creatures literally run and pounce on you. Not nearly enough time to be cycling through your inventory.

But that's just my opinion

And I'll also add that changing the lighting results in a total loss of the "scare factor."
