I'm probably going to write a full blown review for Alone in the Dark in the near future, but in the mean time i would like to discuss how much i loved this game. Of course as most survival horror games have their flaws, Alone in the Dark is far from perfect. But despite camera angles, awkward movement, and bad car chases, i thoroughly enjoyed this game. I know the reviews for this game were far from impressive, so i'm wondering who else picked up this game and what they thought of it.
Alone in the Dark
Game » consists of 22 releases. Released Jun 24, 2008
A reboot of the Alone in the Dark series, once again following Edward Carnby in his fight against the vile creatures of the darkness.
Anyone else love this game?
"Well, my full thoughts are in the review I posted here, but basically: I loved the ingenuity, but not so much the execution. There's a lot to like, but there's also too much to loathe by the game's end."I just finished the first episode, and I already feel that way. I'm not sure I'll be able to play through the full game. I know you can skip stuff; but dammit, I want my achievements!

This game is a real surprise to me, I love this game, like you said, beside the awkward moments and horrid driving this game performs very well.
I love this game but it's a real shame that the developers really screwed with the controls. It's like Eden Games and Atari went "hey, this game is too good for the public. Let's mess up with one element of the game so that we won't get Game of The Year award...yay." Switching between 1st person and 3rd person is ok but swinging things and driving are absolutely horrendous. I tried playing it on my PC but the game keeps freezing because my computer's spec is not good enough. I think I'll buy the XBOX360 version.
