Anyone played The Thing on ps2?

I think I played it on Xbox back then because it had 5.1 in game.  

That shit was old man.

No I did not.

It was an incredible game but to be fair it had been so long since the movie it really shouldn't have been thrown in with all those rushed for release day movie games.

If I remember right, first I got stuck and had no idea where to go, gave up, came back to it months later, worked it out, got killed by the first 'thing' guy, got sent back about an hour, and then gave up again. Never touched it since. Shame because I did like the idea behind it.

Only spent a pound on it though so I wasn't overly bothered.

I played it about 2 years ago on PC for a podcast game club. Holds up surprisingly well! I kind of liked how reloading would actually dump the rest of your ammo, so you had to be more skillful and not reload every time you could. But it was just an alright game, imo. Nice Kurt Russell cameo, but the story didn't really go anywhere too interesting.

It was fun on the Xbox, but at some point I put the game
down & never bothered to finish it.  I don't really put it in the
same category of other movie-based games seeing as how
the developers worked on it years after the release & had
more time to work on the details.  As opposed to having
the movie & game be released at around the same time.
Those kind of movie-based games are horrid.

The Thing is one of those games that should receive a
retro/HD remake & improve the controls while they're
at it & fix the story to make it better/different.

I never played it but I read up on it because I had heard that John Carpenter liked how they continued the story and I wanted to find out about the fate of the characters from the movie.

I had it on the xbox.  Played a few hours but had to give up on it because you couldn't invert the controls.  All the control setups were pish if you needed to invert.  I used to look at all the video reviews on the net and whine because I couldn't play it.  If somebody has done a runthrough on Youtube I'd watch all of it.

I remember seeing pictures of it as a kid and being pretty blown away. Never actually played it, though.

I have it on Xbox. I have been meaning to play it again for some time now but whenever I start it I never get really far until I loose interest.

I'm just reminiscing...
Rare to have a movie game be any good...
Dead Space is fairly similar in many ways, but I loved how in The Thing you had to test your teammate's blood to find out whether they were actually aliens, and you had to keep the other members from freaking out...

Anyone remember playing that game?  Any other's like it you could recommend?

Pretty brilliant. It was disappointing with how scripted your squad mates turning into Things was, and went against a lot of the marketed paranoia into figuring out who's actually a giant pink plant monster in disguise. Otherwise it was a really great third person shooter with some great effects and production values.

Anyone remember playing that game?

I played the game at San Diego Comic Con, but never had a chance to pick it up. I still have the Outpost #31 patch they were giving away.

The Thing was an an excellent game and would actually make my top 10 list of "most overlooked games of all time" if one existed. Any fan of survival Horror would love it. Hopefully after the new movie comes out they will make another game to tie in with it; as long as its the same developers it would probably rock.

I got about halfway through before getting stuck and aimlessly walking through the snow. But what I played of it I liked.

I loved that game so much - though i listened to the rebel FM gameclub play through of it a couple of years back and it definitely seemed to fall short on a lot of its premise, that being said i still really enjoyed it back then

I wanted to, but was too scared.

I bought the PC version a long time ago. Very cool game with some neat features.

I had it on the xbox.  Played a few hours but had to give up on it because you couldn't invert the controls.

Other than some gameplay gaffes (the blood tests), I really liked it. I was caught off guard with how good it turned out.

Played it on the PC and loved it, even though the story is absolutely incoherent. Very atmospheric, cool watching dudes puke for no reason. It was well worth my time, i thought.

One of my favourite ps2 games

You had to fix, like, 27,000 fuse boxes in that game. It got annoying real quick.

I played the PC version after listening to the Rebel.FM game club and seeing various other video game related entertainers rag on it (Spoony). It was ambitious and had potential, but the actual shipped product was pretty bad. Not bad enough that I didn't finish it, though, so there is that... one of the worst video game end bosses though, but hell, fucking Gears of War 2 pretty much stole this end boss in every way, including the whole "hold down the trigger until it's dead" portion, which is what makes it so crappy in the first place.

I played it on the ps2 years ago, never beat it.

always wanted to. love the movie.

I did, It was surprisingly good.
