Alone In The Dark

this game is absolutely amazing i really enjoyed it easily one of my favs and ive played quite a few in my time check out my gamer history hg x scotty out of all of my games on that profile this is one of the few games that i miss playing its amazing creating your own weapons driving through a crumbling city and fighting zombies just buy it second hand for 2 pound its worth the risk i bought it for 20 thinking that was cheap i would happily pay full price for this game and not look back i really recomend it to people who are fans of old alone in the dark resident evil and silent hill very good and a cool story i loved it cant wait if they bring out a new one

Wasn't sure to get this game but found it for a low price. I must admit it is quite captivaiting. Great story and gameplay. Hangout at centrel park on a cliff literaly, while debrie falls down at you make you poo yourself to hurry. Brilliant scenery destruction. Get your creative juices flowing by making different weapons to take out the enemy such as fire bullets, molatov's etc. If your looking for something to fill in the time before the next big title get this if you enjoy abit of a thrill.

I love alone in the dark, it is a really good game. I am near the end of the game and I don't want it to end. It deserves to be played and at this price there is no second thought really. There are alot of stand out moments in the game, especially the driving levels.

I find people don't give the game enought time. Don't just play the first level, play the whole game. Over all a really good game, should be on every persons shelf. You will love it.

Alone In The Dark brings some unique ideas to the table. Gamers tend to be overwhelmed nowadays, and locating a substantially under-rated title can be prove to be difficult. There are both positive points about Alone In The Dark, and there are negative points. There are numerous positive points - a complex, slightly surreal storyline, puzzle-based gameplay and huge cinematic set pieces. However, like anything, there are faults and Alone In The Dark is no exception. Before you begin to bathe in the myriad of mysterious persona's and crazed paranormal investigators, you must first endure a clunky and awkward set of gameplay mechanics. Whether it is the lack of polish, or inappropriate technology - Alone In The Dark is a grudging experience when it bails down to combat.

However, despite a pit of technical hitches and poor animation, there is something strangely enticing about Alone In The Dark. You can almost feel the work that has been poured into developing this title from Eden Games. Yet despite all their efforts, Alone In The Dark proves only to be a 'just above average' experience.

One factor of Alone In The Dark that makes in stand out, and is an excellent note to end the review - is its incredibly unique mission structure. The story itself is structured as though it was a continuing TV drama. If, for example, you find a particular section of the story difficult, you have the option to skip the encounter. Though you are rewarded for doing otherwise.

Overall, if you're a fan of the 'Alone In The Dark' series, or have an interest in 'Psychological Thrillers' filled with elements of mystery and surrealism, then Alone In The Dark will definitely satisfy you.

I got this game for really cheap and after reading so many bad reviews about the game, I was sure I wouldn't enjoy it, quite the opposite actually, despite the little glitches every now and then and the slightly annoying control scheme, this game really isn't that bad, the storyline is surprisingly good which you don't see with to many survival horrors these days,may I say Resident Evil 5 and you can make some pretty cool combinations, if you can overlook small glitches and enjoy survival horror games, give this a try, don't listen to all the negatives they just expect every game to be the next big thing....

I purchsed this game through play after all the hype and played and completed it before reading any reviews and i must say i really did enjoy it it's just a shame it's a little short but does have some replay value. At full price the game is a little overpricwed for what it is but anything under ten pounds is a decent bargin. The most fun i had with it was all the combinations you can make with the items you pick up. The fire physics are amazing and its extremley fun to pour gasoline in a line and set it on fire, more fun than you'd think

in a nutshell

Graphics 4/5
Story 3/5
Sound 4/5
Fun 5/5

By far the worst game i have ever played. Awful control scheme and rubbish storyline. Don't waste your money or time buying this game. There is a reason it is sold so cheap. I would happily give this game away for free, it really is that bad.

This is a good game which has a storyline and is challenging which is a good thing. Havent got very far in the game yet but found it slightly hard to find the monsters when they are on the floor as it is pitch black on some levels. Overall though it is worth buying if your into this sort of thing like i am =)

I must admit I would not pay full price for this game but for 3.99 it's a bargain. After reading other reviews I was almost put off in buying the game because of the negative feedback the controls got. It is because of the controls and the fact that the driving can be a little frustrating due to the slightest obstacle bringing your car to a sudden stop that I deducted a star. Yes, the controls are a little fiddly to start with but you do get used to them and setting up weapon combinations in your rapid call up menu helps. The best way to describe Alone In The Dark is that it is a solid game that is a little rough around the edges. If you are an achievement junkie like myself you will find it a pretty easy to get 1000 points but gameplay can be challenging at times.The fact that you can replay chapters or even skip chapters adds to the unique gameplay. Overall a decent middle-of-the-road game with one or two flaws but is well worth the price Play.com is asking for it.

This is a well thought out game with loads of good ideas, that keep you intrestead in the game. Its one of them games that might take say half hour to get used of the controls,But thats all. People that say its a big problem is a load of rubbish. The game has a good variety of levels that keep you on your toes, And some parts of the game you have to stand there and think....hmm how am i going to get past that,Which is a good thing,Who wants to just breeze through a game with ease. The story line is very good with some good twists. Graphics are good and some of the effects in the game are very well done. The Sound is very good it realates to the game very well giving it that edge. The only down side hence the 4 stars is the driving parts of the game.Sometimes u will get stuck for a few seconds in places which can be a bit annoying. But dont let that put you off because its only in some small areas of the map. All in all this is a great game that had some bad reviews that it did not deserve [ people giving up on it to quickly and not seeing the true gem it is] and for under a fiver u would have to be mad if you like survival horror games to miss out on this one.
