Alone in the Dark

Bad, sucks, not worth any time at all.

I picked this up expecting to have a "nice" survival horror game on my hands. Not at all. Its basically a bad spin off of a sucky version of a third person Condemed or Condemed 2.
The contols are confusing, and very hard to manage. The inventory system was nice, but cluttered.

Gameplay was so glitchy, you could beat your first lvl in Central Park, buy cheating. You walk up a spire by a cliff, fall into the cliff, fall through the world, back through, and land on the other side of the cliff unharmed.

Combat was like trying to hit a wall with a bat and MISSING! You just lilt the right stick left or right to start the attack, and then the other direction to attack.

Shooting your damn gun is just a bad. There is only a laser pointer as a crosshair. And its almost impossible to see on the enemies you're shooting, so you will mostly be blind shooting.

When it comes to the graphics, sometimes you'll say that looks great. And other's you'll say, what's up with that texture?.....is that even a texture?

The story itself is interesting, if only I could stand the game itself. And what's worse...you can skip game sequences...its stupid really, as you'll miss more story that way. But if you intend to complete the game, you'll skip more often then naught.

Don't expect for this game to keep you busy, I only got a good hour of play in.

3/10
