Alone in the Dark - Nintendo Wii

What can I say about this game? It's a classic. Recently purchased to add to my collection. Overall, I feel the game is underrated but that's my opinion. I have enjoyed the series since the MS-DOS days back in 92 and have collected most of the ported versions since then. And for the price, right now is still a great time to buy it before it goes up! Alone in the Dark for the Wii is an excellent addition to any collection.

Since the Wii has been out there has been a small assortment of games that been truly awesome. Since then, I have been looking for a game to play. I picked up Alone in the Dark because the package made the game sound exciting, and since Resident Evil is my favorite game, Alone in the Dark looked like it could satisfy. No such luck. I felt the story was good, but everything else fell very short of acceptable. FIrst off, the controls are rubbish. Fumbling with the Wiimote will eventually give you an intended result, but you'll have to work for it, relying mostly on chance. Secondly, death comes easy, and without warning. There were a couple times I was in the middle of playing when the game would go to the load screen, and before I could congratulate my success, I was back to the beginning of the scene. It is especially frustrating when you have to listen to the same dialogue over and over every time you die. Overall, too much standing around and listening, not enough excitement. If they wanted this to be like a TV show, then they should have made a show, not a game. Very disappointed.

First and foremost i was so dissappointed at this game, it has so much potenial but lacks in graphics and controls, certains times when your playing you can easily forget the buttons and mess up, next what the hell is up with that camera sometimes its good the other times it moves on its own, the enemies have that survival horror look and feel but just doesnt creep you out like silent hill or dead space, dont get me wrong alone in the dark has its moments and could have been something exciting but the real reason that it kills me so much is THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE WII! if you look at the ps3 version it makes the wii version look like they just tried to make the wii version watered down, i no that ps3 has HD but come on u didnt have to change up the game because of the HD quality, the game didnt need all of the HD quality to make it good its just needed its original gameplay to make it great, please if your going to get this game get it for ps3 to expierence it the way its suppose to be, sorry wii even tho i love this system, alone in the dark forgot about you! the sad part is that my game keeps freezing it did it 6 times already WTF! this game has defects come on!

If you like the original on PSX the it's for you, the control system it's a littele weird, but with a time playing it's ok. UN interesante juego que mantiene la escencia del clásico eso si, trayéndolo a nuestros días, el sistema de control, sobre todo vehículos no es lo mejor que existe y toma trabajo acostumbrarse, pero con algo de tiempo te puedes acotumbrar. Recomendable para los que disfruten del género del survival horror.

Wasn't to bad of a game when I had a Wii.

excellent product met all my expectations

I don't know why this game is so hated. I don't know any other survival horror game that allowed you to do so much such as driving, rope climbing, beating up enemies with melee weapons, hacking an arm off with an axe to use the arm to access restricted areas. The main complaint people have is controls which I find the controls reasonably good and it's a blast once you get used to it. An example of brilliant control mechanics is moving the nunchuck and wii mote in a motion as if you're opening your jacket up to view inventory. The only complaint I have about the game is the ending. The overall game deserves a chance and it's almost equal to Resident Evil 4 with its own meritts. Somethings you can do in this game you can't do in R.E.4 are freely switching camera angles from 3rd person and 1st person perspective and you can freely jump and climb ladders where as in R.E.4 you could only jump at certain parts and your character automatically climbs the ladder and 1st person view only comes with certain weapons.

This game could have been great if it wasn't for the fact that the controls are pretty broken. Its not like how same games for the Wii are, that you just have to get used to them. No, this game was just poorly programmed. The simple task of opening your inventory by motioning the controllers as if you were opening a jacket quickly turned into me doing the motion over and over again until by some miracle it finally decided to work. The camera jumps all over the place for no reason too. Atari had some great ideas for this game, the first chapter is actually exciting, but in the end its just not worth the frustraition of having to deal with the poor controls and wonky camera. Its ashame too because I really wanted to like this game. I guess I'll just have to get my horror fix from Fatal Frame 4. (hopefully!) edit: Get Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the Wii instead, I wrote a review for that game, it's essentially what Alone in the Dark should have been!

Bon service La qualité du graphique correspond à l'époque de production, il faut s'y attendre.
