Alone in the Dark (PC Games, 2008)

First and most important reason why I bought this game, was for the great looking graphics and interesting storyline Alone in the Dark series used to have in earlier times. Pherphaps I was terribly wrong with this new Atari release.

Its simply a very dissapointing game. Making you extremely bored within 10 minutes of playing it. Storyline is way to boring, controls are somewhat messy and character interaction with the enviroment and enemies is way to pathetic. Beginning from the simple fact that the only way you can defeat enemies and make yourself go through the game is by grabbing some wood-based item like a chair go find yourself some fire, let the chair burn and put it in front of the enemy. He will eventually somehow burn and die. You don even have to slam it or hit him with the chair, you just stay there and he'll get burned. Of course you can even throw the chair if you want, but its still a pathetic way to deal with enemies. Your gun is useless in this game.

Graphics are NOT that impressive at all. Maybe light interaction is good, but thats it.

Another curious thing is... I havent seen a game with so much swearing since postal 2. I mean, the guy and everyone around him... they wont just stop swearing. Dont get me wrong I like swearing on games XD, but maybe Atari though they would sound "cool" if they included tons and tons of swearing. Even for the smallest thing ever, SWEAR SWEAR! lol

Overall this is a BAD game. I was really expecting more from Atari on this one. Pherhaps I was wrong. I'll give it a 4 from out of 10.

I should've been suspicious when a game that was $40 a short time ago was $7.48 the other day at Target. In reality, I think at $7.48 it's overpriced.

The controls are awful. It's as if the developers have never actually played an action game before. The camera motion is even worse. If you switch into first-person view, you'll be automatically switched to third-person before very long. Interacting with the world around you is painful and difficult in the extreme, regardless of whether you're operating in first-person or third-person mode. The "physics" of the world are pretty strained, too.

On the plus side, the uninstaller works great, which you'll probably quickly discover if you try this game. The case is pretty good, too, and can be used for a variety of things.

its ok. its fun to play. its very exciting to play. id give it a seven. i think i would buy it again if given the choice

This game is without a doubt the worst game I have ever had the displeasure of playing. The camera is constantly changing from first to third person, and back again. The controls are terrible. They have you using the mouse, WASD, and the print screen button at the same time! What kind of idiot would ever think using the print screen button is a good idea? In one specific incident, the game forces you to third person for no reason, and then gives you controls to perform the needed task, but they fail to mention you must be in first person, which they just arbitrarily switched you out of. The game crashes all the time for no apparent reason, and when it does, it starts you way back from where you were. The game is also incapable of displaying at my monitor's native resolution. When selected, the game states that it must be restarted for the changes to take effect. Upon restarting, the menus do not appear, and upon force quitting the application and restarting, it reverts to previous settings. All other resolutions work (including ones with the same aspect ratio as my native resolution), except my native resolution. They even bothered to use securom. No one in their right mind would even bother trying to pirate such a terrible game.

I'm not that good when it comes to PC games so the gaming settings on keyboard are hard to get use to. I'm positive with a controller it's fantastic. Great game for all zombie killing fans!
