Ok lets start from the first scene of the game you wake its first person you look up its blurry and what does the game tell you to do...... it tells you to blink.... :o yep thats right this game is telling us to blink at first i laughed and thought that actually pretty cool with all these first person games out your dude never blinks. ANyway the game is good.... iam serious this game is fun to play set aside the glitches and the people who look like there faces are made of leather its a funny game you pretty much have to think on your feet a true survival horror i thought combining all the stuff together was awsome. driving was a little flacky and how high and far the humanz can jump was abit daft. the storyline is a typicalsave the world destory the world your choice iam not gona spoil it but you pretty much pick it up from the start. The whole the game is a dvd was cool and when you start an episode it does the whole previously on "alone in the dark" that was fun.

so yeah if you want a good survial horror game were you really do have to survie then buy this

I really did try to get into this game as it has an intriguing story line, inventive weapons, decent graphics [even for nowadays standards] and occasional puzzles to get your brain working. Problem is they took all these great features and destroyed them with terrible controls. It's so clunky and awkward. I can't get my head round it. It seems like they were too ambitious in creating a very realistic game (e.g. manually combining items and changing the batteries on your torch when they run out of power) and because of this, the gameplay suffered greatly.

Do buy it if your up for the added challenge of mastering the controls. I got a couple of chapters into the game, gave up and switched to a different FPS/Shooter where I could really understand and appreciate how much better a game is with decent controls.

This game is great fun to play, the achievements are cool, the layout of the game is well done with the driving scenes breaking up the shooting parts. A totally underated game which is well worth the money. I totally recommend this game!! In fairness, it isn't as good as Resident Evil, but what is????

I'm a huge fan of survival horror games and was looking forward to this game months before it came out. After seeing the initials reviews though I didn't bother getting it when it was released. Bought on the cheap though last week and thought I'd give it a go and it's decent enough. Graphics etc are great and and at first the game appears excellent......that is until you start controlling the boy and you see why so many folk have given it a poor review. Whoever decided on the control system should have got their jotters as they are terrible but if your awesome like me you'll soon get the hang of it and the game is good but let down by the controls.

Imo, for a tenner its worth it if you can concentrate on just this game and you've nothing else to play as I hopped in and out of this game inbetween other games and I found the controls impossible to use.

I really did try to like this game as I have fond memories of the original Alone in the Dark games that I played and completed on my old pc many moons ago but this just did not keep my attention (mainly due to dying so many times due to poor slow controls and the camera angles) This game has some good graphics and some great ideas but the whole control system lets it down.

As I mentioned, for £10, I suppose nobody can really moan but don't expect to the blown away and its no Resident Evil, as long as you accept that then you'll probably get some enjoyment out of it.

this game has some good ideas but it is glitched the car levels, the car gets stuck so u cant drive it , but the story kept me playing i managed to get 970 gamer points, il say its average not scary tho

I bought this case as i was a massive fan of the older games. I was not impressed. This was mainly due to the camera angles and contols. The ideas in the game were good but i soon found myself losing interest.

I was waitig for this one to come out for a while, and was a little disappointed with the controls, im not a casual gamer and have been with consoles for years and i find the you get used to the controls after awhile but it can be very annoying, they could of made it alittle more smoother, the graphics can be intense and the storyline great, so in all its worth buying,just dont play other games at the same time.

This is one of those games where it has amazing ideas but isnt portrayed as good as it could of been,either cos it was rushed or they had a low budget?
It is still a good survival horror game for fans of that genre and i will eventually finish it,the collectors set is lovely..just the game requires alot of patience.

Controls are fine!!!! Just the casual gamer moaning. Lol. Good graphics, above average story and tense (not scary) here and there. This game kept me playing all the way through, the achievements are good and it is fun. A large portion however is a bit of a chore, it needs to be scary and after all the hype it was a let down. Worth the money for sure!!!
