Alone in the Dark

I didn't have much fun with this game at all.

At first I was impressed by the range of things you are able to make your character do but it didn't take long for that feeling to wear off. The controls are neither intuitive or easy to master. I felt like I was constantly struggling with them whether it be managing my inventory, traversing the game world or (and this was the worst part) trying to engage in some form of combat.

The world itself is quite interesting with and intriguing story and decent pacing/set pieces.

I also liked the problem solving elements of the game, using fire to overcome certain obstacles for example.

The graphics, sound, menus, etc. The mechanics, if you will, were all serviceable, none stood out as being worthy of mention.

Still I personally would not bother with the game, I found little or no fun to be had. Perhaps liberal use of the game's ability to skip points (this game is made in the vein of TV series) could help a curious player get all they possibly can from the game value wise.

There are some terrible technical flaws with control issues and camera problems. However, the game's graphics and story line are really good, with some dramatic moments that are very nice. It's worth under 20 dollars

This is one of the more imaginative and ambitious games in recent years. The characters and environments are well detailed, and the fire, fog and shadow really adds to the atmosphere. But poor animation and some plasticky look on the character models somewhat mar the experience. The controls did present difficulties but can be easily overcome. While Alan Wake is definitely a better game, this game is definitely worth the price on its own.

This game is very cool!!

Stay away from this game.... seriously! even if it's for free. the terrible gameplay have compromised the entire experience. So, watch out!
