and there's the opinion I agree with - never heard of a bad copy that makes it hard  to pick up objects lying by your feet and ruins driving sections. 

They spent 9 months advertising and pushing this game and apparantly the one section thats unfinished is the controls!  sorry but shouldn't that be one of the first areas to perfect? 

Then they attempt to sue the messenger! 

All that those reviewers need is a receipt and they can counter sue Atari.

Saying that pirated copies are missing part of the code is bullshit. That would only be possible for a hacked version or a demo.

If you feel the need to sue reviewers, it's a good sign that your game sucks...

What's that smell?

Oh, desperation. So long Atari...

Thing is at Metacritics and gamerankings still have no non user reviews submitted yet so even though it's been relesed in europe today it looks like the embargo is until it gets released in US on 24th.

How do they possibly expect to convince people that they have confidence in their game with all of this going on?

This actually speaks even louder than some bad reviews.

Well, it's common practise to not preview a movie if it sucks to avoid bad reviews. I guess the game reviewers were reviewing based on the last demo copies if 'official review copies' are only dropping the day prior.

But handing out review copies that late is akin to not doing movie previews.

Clearly this game is an unpolished, unfinished disappointment.

The wii version got a 3/10 or was that the 360 version.Either way-Alone in the Dark will have to stay ''Alone in the Dark"....without my money.=)

if they would of sent out a reviewer's guide none of this would of happened.

QTF.
