Alone in the Dark

ubergeist's Alone in the Dark (Xbox 360) review

Talk About Alone In The Dark

I forked out a few dollars the other day and rented Alone In The Dark on 360. I hadn't read anything about it before I did and like always, that was a bad idea. The game started out pretty decent but once I realized how broken the controls were everything else went down hill from there.

For a "next gen" game this one really falls short. I only managed to get in a few hours because I couldn't get past the second or third level (can't remember) where you drive the car through New York. I have never see so many flaws in one level. If only I could have gotten past that I might have seen the other flaws in the game, but I dunno. I should at least be able to get past the third level.

There's really nothing more I can say about this game because that's all I could get to. It makes me mad when they release god awful games like that. Companies take so much time to make them but they can't fix the bugs. What I can tell you is don't buy, rent or even borrow this game. It's what crap wants to be when it gets older.

Alone in the Dark isn’t a total disaster, but neither is it any good. Fundamentally, the game is a cross between a traditional, third-person survival horror game (pre-Resident Evil 4) and a first-person shooter. While initially the g...

If Eden and Atari had given us absolutely no sense of what Alone In The Dark (2008) was going to be, it would have been the greatest surprise hit of 2008. These days developers are being hoist on their own petard (aka: blow'd up) by their own desire to promote the work they're doing for a return on the enormous budgets involved. It's practically as though the ratio of hype-to-hands on enjoyment involves a penalty: the "but you pwomised us!!!" mentality. It's a problem, but it's not up to us cons...
