Forums - Nintendo Discussion - First review of Alone in the dark kind of disappointment :( Wait for FF4

|_emmiwinks on 19 June 2008

You actually expected this to be a good game? Just watch some of the videos on the net of it, the ones that the devs released, they bored me and were supposed to sell the game.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

This space Reserved for the Nuggets of Wisdom dropped by Bladeforce:

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

I knew this game was gonna be drenched in Wack Juice from the get-go. I mean, it's main focus was FIRE, cavemen's main focus millions of years ago. The screenshots were wack, previews were wack, it wasn't interesting to me in the least bit.

Add to the fact that Atari hasn't put out anything hot besides DBZ games, an you get something pretty underwhelming. Atari has no money anyways so they wouldn't be able to delay all the versions (which is questionable as to why they only delay the PS3 version). I heard somewhere they were bought out for 11 million dollars... they should've been making some E.T.z of Petz games to get their money up (I kid, I kid).

You figure even though they are a different company with the same name over it, Atari once again rushes out a somewhat anticipated game. I'mma go back and play some Nightmare Creatures 2 or some Zombie Revenge or something....makes me sick.......

The original post sounds like a glowing review

Positive
"a genuinely thrilling storyline" also "the mysterious storyline"
"Item combination is one of the game's strengths and independent control of your two arms (is good)"
"the amazing atmosphere"
"the satisfaction when you figure out the puzzles"
"the fantastic implementation of the Wii controls"

Negative
"Not being able to pick up an item that has a huge 'A' button prompt until you've turned around and looked at it from a different angle."
"the vehicle controls are awful"

Conclusion
"Alone In The Dark is an utter disappointment."

Wow, that's not the conclusion I would have made
