I agree with some of the people here.  It's not really a scary game, but it's certainly spooky and creepy in certain parts.  It's the subject content that gives it that atmosphere, so it'll definitely freak you out every once in a while.

But it's not a survival/horror title like Resident Evil or Silent Hill, if that's what you're asking.  It's simply an adventure game with a dark - and even disturbed - storyline.

Because it brings something new to the table. That's the kind of thing that will fascinate everyone, and not just gamers. However, ever since it came out, I've had lingering doubts that have only grown over time...

Here's the thing- the motion sensitivity is indeed a fantastic idea, and single-handedly saved Nintendo from being relegated to a third-party developer role (we all remember Sega). It was an affordable system that offered something fresh; it changed the way the world looks at video games. It's an insanely reliable machine, just like all of Nintendo's machines. It fosters multiplayer entertainment and physical activity, which are two things historically missing from the videogame universe. All of these factors came together to allow the Wii to be immensely successful.

But we can't forget one crucial thing: the consumer is a fickle creature. And yes, so are gamers. Wii Sports was a landmark achievement in terms of technology, and I had a blast with it. I still have fun playing with my brother, but I'm already starting to ask, "well...what's next?" As was the problem with the GameCube, Nintendo seems to be suffering (again) from a lack of frequency of top-notch games. On top of which, I continue to question what can be done with the motion-sensing. Something like Wii Sports is great on the surface, but it takes away 75% of what we normally do with sports games in the traditional sense. And fast-action games like Devil May Cry and God of War and Ninja Gaiden don't appear to be possible; we simply can't create thousands of different movements with our wrists the same way we can with multiple button presses. And I'm also not sure what motion sensing is going to add to certain genres, like RPGs. Okay, so I can swing the controller in Zelda...to be honest, that didn't make the experience any more immersive, but perhaps that's just me.

Recent analyst reports (the Wedbush Morgan Securities 207-page report for the 2007 just came out) consistently place Nintendo in last place at the end of this generation, but not by much. Everyone thinks it will be a close race, and it probably will, but I think there's a very good reason why most major research firms place the Wii third once all is said and done. There's an unwritten and unmentioned factor about the fickleness of the consumer and gamer, and unless they start seeing Nintendo build upon the foundation they've poured, everyone will lose interest. Rapidly. I'm not saying Nintendo won't build on it - 'cuz I'm sure they will - but how much can they build, and how fast? Everyone right now is enamored with the concept, but that won't last. We need to see the concept become something greater before I start to have more faith in the Wii.

afaik you can only connect wired controllers to the PC... for playing older games I bought a cheap Logitech gamepad that's basically a PS2 controller. Works great!MyopicCanadian
