Topic: Alone in the Dark Wii

[ShyGuy]

Thankfully I didn't buy it, just rented it. Only $7 wasted.

I tried to play it again this morning

I am convinced that nobody play tested this game. So many controls are badly, BADLY broken that no gamer would sign off on this.
- The inventory system works only 10% of the time.
- Not only are the textures muddy, but then they blur out the screen for multiple reasons. You literally can't see enemies because the screen is a gray blotch.
- I never did figure out how to heal myself, so I just randomly die in various places
- The skip a chapter feature is nice, complete with a "Previously on Alone in the Dark" intro. too bad it's required to get past the absolute crap you have to deal with.

Part of me wishes I had bought this game so I could smash it with a hammer.

Atari's failure bump!

I just tried the demo on 360 to compare it to my horrible experience on the Wii.

- The camera is just as bad as the Wii version. On the plus side, it's not as dark so you can see a few more things. Not much though
- The controls are still hideous. HIDEOUS.

Does josh hartnet look any prettier in that version?

[ShyGuy]

No, Josh Hartnet is in Obscure 2, Shane Brolly is in Alone in the Dark. Sheesh!

Yeah it took the hopes and profits of its publisher down the drain with it.  Valiant effort!
