I liked Alone in the Dark. It was a fun survival horror game with glitches... I thought the control issues only added to the "survival horrorness" to it. Like..."Oh god, hes coming I got to shoot him...faak hold steady you stupid gun..."
But I didnt finish it as when I got to the last part in central park with all the roots you have to kill, game becomes a sandbox wannabie. I didn't have the patience.
I think a survival horror game is a game which is :
1. Scary with moments of dread,
2. You have to survive by any means necessary.
Resident evil 4 was an awesome game and I'm looking forward to RE5 very much. However its a game where you blast your way through it...with very few scares. Not Survival horror if all you need to survive is ammo... Halo, Gears of war, and 1000s of other games would be considered survival horror as well if RE4 was clasified as SH.
