a PSP port game gets a 7 from you? I played the PSP version, I wouldn't give anything over 4 on that.

There's more to a game than graphics. Sure, the graphics sucked but there were some pretty cool ideas in the game. As a game developer, I can respect and appreciate that. Sometimes you have to look deep into a game to see why they released it. If you stop at the surface level, you might miss some really good ideas.

 

 

I wonder... what are those "really good ideas" in this game? All I saw blend graphics, repetitive gameplay and terrible combat.

 

See, I didnt think the combat was terrible. Sure, it was repetitive (though apparently there are added moves with flicks of the wii remote). An action based game with weapon/item crafting, variants on armor protection (corrupted, heavy leaded, etc) Also, the attributes system of modifying DNA was pretty clever too.

 

@Disolitude - I definitely plan to check out Alone in the Dark. I was anticipating this game, and kinda bummed about the crappy overall reviews. Will give it a shot either as a rental or when it hits the bargin bin.

@Mike - Yeah, I think that there's SOME game behind the graphics. It's worth a shot. you have to play for a bit and be patient in understanding the rhythm of how the game is structured to work =)
