The Blair Witch Project game was a good idea but falls short in depth..........and fun.......and sound.....and controlling.......and last but not least graphics.I have a good Graphics card but this kinda looks like Doom on my computer.So avoid this game at all costs.I would suggest that you buy Oni when it comes out or Quake 3,Unreal Tournament,Halo,and Diablo 2.Just don't buy this game at all.

Continues the mythology of the series

This game should be a hit with those who were intrigued by the story of the Blair Witch. I heard that the games will be released serially, one a month, culminating in an October release that should coincide with the next movie.

This one deals with Rustin Parr, the guy who built the house the kids wound up in in the first movie. It uses the same spooky graphics engine that Nocturne used.

Good!

The first person to review this could not have known how the game was because it wasn't out to buy yet. It is probably going to be a great game!

Please be warned

I bet everyone reading this already knows the whole point of the game. The makers of the game Nocturne are using the same engine and character (a mysterious man named Stranger who's a detective that fights monsters) to explore the legends of the Blair Witch. They're releasing three games that are of three different parts of the legend. But be warned. I am a blair witch fanatic and bought Nocturne to see what the game may look like. But to play it, it takes up 1 megabyte of space! You also need over a 100 megs of RAM. I have a really bad computer and if you do to, look before buying Nocturne products. Other than the space and speed it takes up, the game should be as awesome as Myst!

Good Atmosphere/music

After having just played the very interesting demo, I must say this game is going to be very good if it is like this. While I had my doubts the Nocturne engine is perfect for giving a dark and moody setting that this game needs, along with the frighteningly scary sound effects and graphics. Although originally the Nocturne engine required high specs like the person below said, they are modifying the engine for this game to make it less demanding. Overall it should be an interesting experience, and you can't beat the price. Download the demo and see what I mean.

Can you say "Nocturne MOD"?

I am a huge fan of Blair Witch and I can't believe soo many people still put down that movie to this day. Blair Witch is a excellent Survival Horror on the big screen. The entire essense of Blair Witch is spooky and draws you in like a moth to a flame.

Until now...

From the creators who gave you the "Coaster of the year" comes another ridiculous game based on the series. Why they would even pervert the Blair Witch with the Nocturne Engine is beyond me. I have to admit the demo was very spooky walking around in the house, but the min I had to battle near-invisible demons, I was completely turned off by the game. If anyone remembers Nocturne, the game flopped tremedously despite all the hype the produced before the release. Now don't get me wrong, Nocturne has a very interesting storyline, but the gameplay is HORRIBLE! Highly Excessive PC requirements limit the number of gamers who can play it, or much less want to play it! The Quake III engine far surpasses the Nocturne engine. And now they are trying once again to sell you Nocturne disquised under a Blair Witch title. This is completely obsurd.

The game they should have made was a survival horror game without weapons or they Spook House characters. A game where you have to solve puzzles to gain information all the while running from wierd noises and unseen monsters. That is the game I wanted to play, kinda of like Silent Hill with no guns, because in most parts of Silent Hill you did not have to kill the monsters. Now with this game coming out, you will have to deal with Extreme PC Requirements, watch a rerun of Home Improvement load times and basically a Nocturne game Mod under a different title.

GOD - Gathering of Developers, please take note and leave all aspects of Nocturne out of the next Blair Witch games. It will be bad enough to see this game for sale on Ebay a couple of days after it comes out.

Truly Scary

Despite the critics, the gameplay of Blair Witch is certainly improved over Nocturne. The game is truly scary. The graphics and the sounds add an eerie element that is awesome. After playing the demo, I think it will be the best horror game to date. Download it and see for yourself.

This is a must buy.

After reading several reviews for this game (both here and in other publications), I was prepared for disappointment. What a surprise it was then to find that this game is intelligent, beautifully designed (yes, even with the much maligned Nocturne engine), and legitimately scary. The game, like the movie, generates fear not from direct confrontation (though there is a great deal of that), but from anticipation. The game, with it's vulnerable main character, skewed camera angles and unsettling sound effects, sets the player up for quite a few good frights and a constant feeling of dread. The developers at Terminal Reality have created a superb game with wonderful atmosphere and a great storyline. The only major fault with the game is the awkward controls. I have found though, that if you take a couple minutes to customize the keys to your own comfort, this problem can be overcome. This is the best horror game I have played since Resident Evil 2.

It is funny to read some of these idiot reviews

Funny,

those who say it is like the movie are wrong. It deals with the history not kids in the woods. The person saying that it is a Nocturne mod and that the Stranger is the main character is wrong. Doc Holiday is the character. The person siting 1GB of storage and 100MB of RAM is wrong - that was for Nocturne. Blair Witch has lower system requirements. The only right thing to say is that the game is scary, interesting, and has a great storyline. The heck with the buy Quake, etc. comments. If you like a good story, and lots of eye candy, this is a great game for just $19.95.

PC Gaming doesn't get better than this

Ladies and Gentlemen, finally I have been impressed, I mean truly impressed by a PC game. This game has it all, graphics to knock the socks off (flowing trenchcoats, moving facials features, camera angles that create a horror movie-like feel, real-time BEAUTIFUL lighting effects), an intriguing storyline that follows, but is not hindered by, the movies. Great voice acting (wow, that's a first), interesting NPC characters and sound effects that rival anything I've heard make this game not just worth buying, but worth playing over and over. I am not ashamed to say that sitting home alone playing this game, I jumped at points and was really scared. Never has a game reached quite this level, Nocturne on speed folks, that's what this game is....kudos Gathering of Developers.
