What do you guys think of it?

I read a lot of reviews and basically everyone says the game sucks.. but a comment i read of someone who said the game is actually good and requires you to think changed my mind about buying it. So i did, and so far the games seems good, the controllers are a little bit dumb but you get used to after 10 min, i think that guy was also right when he said that gamers are now used to play crappy sequels over and over again.

if you want to try the game out, DL the demo. The problem is that you need fire to kill enemies (which gets annoying) the melee combat is annoying, some clunky controls make tight environments annoying to navigate. Worst of all is the driving, just because the physics are ridiculous. However, the graphics are good, and the game can be genuinely scary.

I hated the demo, so I'm sure the full game is just as bad.

My thoughts on Alone in the Dark:

I would say that Alone in the Dark is definitely worth getting. I really liked the demo and played it many times, so I bought it and I am almost finished with it.
To me it is a really great game that is alot of fun, very original, really different, and is such a refreshing change from every other games out right now. Alone in the Dark is easily a 9 out of 10.

i have it and i finished the game about a month ago, it was decent but some parts of the game were really annoying especially the last 2 episodes. Not to mention the fact that you cant kill the main enemies with anything it has to have fire for them to be completely killed. If you liked the demo then youll like the full game.

My friend bought it when it first dropped and said it was glitchy but well worth a rental, after playing the demo I agree, I want to rent this game as it was fun to play the demo it seemed to have lots of potential, hopefully they can get the sequel right.

I thought it was a great game but it just had too many glitches to be great. If they had fixed the bugs it would've been alot more fun. Altough at this point I'm sure there's so many bugs since there were reports that the company was running low on money and I wouldn't be surprised if they released this before testing to ensure they would have some cash.

You're right since they never leave the good parts of games out of their demos. They make sure the best stuff is in there.

hmm i actually liked the game, i mean yeah it has its issues (most of all the driving, OMG I HATE IT!) but the thing that made me like it is the item combining, i sure had alot of fun with that. All in all i guess it depends on what you're looking for, its not an fps so dont expect something like FEAR or Battlefield (with zombie ish things).

I thought the demo was alright. It's obvious they were trying a lot of new things not seen in other games but the game just ended up having some really hard to work with controls. I will definitely buy it.... some time in the future. Do I think it's worth $60? No. $30? I'm going to have say it's a good deal.

I was anticipating this game but was disappointed that it didn't turn out as great as I was expecting. I'll download the demo soon so I can see if I like it or not. If I do I'll wait to buy it once the price drops to like $30.

Have you guys heard of eBay? You can get it there for alot cheaper then at retail stores, like I got it for $29.99 and that was brand-new and sealed. If you really wanted it you would have looked there and already bought it like I did.

The driving is horrible. Like I said, I think they released the game w/o testing it as they were in a dire need of money. I think they weren't expecting Alone in the Dark and DBZ to sell so well.

Yea, plus the story was horribly done. If you never watched DBZ you probably had no clue what was going on.

alone in the dark is amazing just because it's different from other games...so what if you can kill enemies only with fire?that's actually great because in other games you just shoot creatures and they die so simply....if you like movies you will like AITD because it looks like one and you feel like participating in it and also the controls are not bad. i got used to them from the first second,besides every game has different controls...

What i said the other thread.....

Yes , i really enjoyed it alot [ got The Full 1k achievements from playing it alot ] ...The controls didn't bother me because it reminded me of the old RE1 & Silent Hill controls so it was all good for me :) and it is the best survival-horror game since Resident Evil.

How was the ending bad? Also, just leave these damn topic alone. Noone has posted in them for 2 weeks for a reason.

I bought it the day it came out (I really like horror games and there are so few for the 360). The game sucks, the controls are SO bad that for me it wan totally unplayable. Just my opinion but wait for the new Silent Hill game.

I actually liked the demo and picked up the game on Saturday. Not touched it yet though apart from checking it loaded as I'm currently playing Too Human
