I dont wanna write a review full of moments like 'Shut up bitch with yur naggin bout a few glitches'
¬¬ well i just did then but lets ignore that!
Alone in the dark, a game that has irritated me, made me shout out load and wanna slam my controller to the ground. Why the hell have i rated it three and a half stars?
Because it is a damn good game.
Lets talk about what most people consider to be important these days ...the grapthics.
The grapthics are damn nice, from the rotting torn up flesh on the enemys to the burnt wood that falls to ashes as you touch it.
The only problam i have is that the dinamic lighting effects dont always seem rite and the interia of the cars look bland [though i'm kinda nit pickin there]
Ok the story?
What little story there is, happens to be ok.
There's alittle too much cursing and S%&t , just dosnt need it :/
The speed of the game [story wise] is solid, slowly feeding you information and the scene where you have the 'ghostly visions' damn kool oO
The Camera angles through outthe game is amazing, showing you what you need and/want to see. though at times it can be annoying having to suddenly change direction before you fall off cliffside.
The effects that they have been raving about, the way fire moves and how you can use it was great, using a burning aze to disspose of the enemys though...hmmm not that fun, the controls not that good.
This is where we get to the bad stuff :/
Controling the character is annoying. It has the classic resident evil Tank movement which is fine, but it seems even slowler than normal. But waht really got me was going from this tank movment to suddenly change into first person and use your gun. the controls suddenly change to a normal FPS. It just didnt feel rite to suddenly have all this movement.
NOW THE VERY BAD!!!
The reason why i wanted to bite off my fingers is because of the driving scenes, and well driving in general!
It just doesnt feel rite at all! infact it is just horrid! and even though your in a car, somthing with weight. you hit a small curb or rock and the car will go flying.
And also yes, there are glitches in the game. The glitches and the driving can kill this game for people.
but i beg of thee, give it a go. If you can look past these the game itself is a kool game to play [and also acheivement points...easy to get :D]
I Think this is a game that can be hard to love but as i said look past the little problams it has and you will enjoy it.
I have seen alot of reviews completly slaughter this game, and well i just keep thinkin 'Am i alone here?'...
The game is good!!!
Rent it, borrow it or buy it and i really hope you like it
Peace and adios
