Suspenseful Supernatural Fun

One of the first games that I got when I purchased my playstation was Resident Evil, and I thought that that was going to be the best game ever. It was, for a while, but for those of you tired of the T virus and zombies in bloated sequels, I would definitely recommend AITDTNN. A haunted island, and black magic combine to make one horribly freaky gaming experience. You did not have to play the original to enjoy this wonderfully chilling sequel.

Alone in the dark for adults only

I thoght this game was pretty good.It keeps you guessing and has the blood and gore to make you worry about the creators. There are even a few places that make you jump a little. SAVE YOUR AMMO whenever possible. Tword the end, after the manor, you will need it. The book is not essential if you are in mensa, so I recommend you get it. The only thing Bad to say about it is that once you get the book, you can solve it in about 12 hours. That is if you choose Carnaby as your charachter. I have not tried it as aline yet but will probably do so soon,

Challenging and fun

despite what some people may think, This game's camera angels DO NOT copy off of RE, the first game in the alone in the dark series had switching camera angles just like this game, and alone in the dark 1 was released in 1992. There's just about everything in this game, puzzles with a definite plot, different ways of doing things, combined with action and different fight scenes... etc. The only things that could have been better is that the entire storyline of alone in the dark is thrown out by this game... the second game took place in the 1920's, and this one takes place in 2001, the carnby of the original was middle-aged, now he's in his 20's... and so forth. Also, in some parts saving ammo is crucial, in other parts you have more ammo than you know what to do with. There is no more melee combat or weapons such as knives or swords. There isn't much replay value, but keep in mind there are two different missions, each one with the same basic idea but with different actions, areas, and so forth.

At first I didn't think the game would be that fun, but I loved it! The graphics are stunning, the sound is great, and the controls are easy! Don't rent, buy this game!

AITD4 is NOT PS2

Watch out, everybody, Alone in the Dark 4 is NOT Playstation2. I have a new PS2 which, believe it or not, I chose over XBox and GameCube in order to play AITD4 (as a start). I failed to notice that AITD4 is for old Playstation. Yesterday, a week or two afer I ordered the console and preordered AITD4... I read someplace that Playstation games do not save on PS2 memory cards. AITD4 has just gotten a lot more expensive. In fact, I don't know how to get old Playstation memory. I wonder if it's even available.

I have looked forward to this game for a year now. I love the series. I give Infogrames one star for writing for an obsolete system.

I give Infogrames one star for the originality of the AITD series--and it ends there. I feel that this franchise is as played out as their horribly bland 'Test Drive' series. And although I understand Infogrames grasping for their piece of the pie crust by trying to make due with what little they have, they seem to have lacked the foresight in spending too many years developing a grossly mediocre game for a now outdated system. I've played the beta, don't buy it.

Very disappointed.

I was very disappointed in this game. There are way too many files. On top of that, they are way too long. I got a quarter of the way through the game and was scanning through the files without reading them. Monsters are few in this game. I am a big fan of Resident Evil and I admit this game is very similiar to it, but, its suspense level and its puzzel solving level are incredibly poor. Way to many sealed up doors. I did not find the graphics very appealing at all. I bought this game...used. If I had paid more, I would have returned it.

It was OK, but not as good as the other reviews say it is!

In a sense, the game does have good lighting and use of the shadowing, but it just didn't scare me that much. Maybe, that is because I have been through the horror in other games such as Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, and other games in the survival-horror genre and already have experienced that. I find though that the monsters in some parts were not that frightening like the shadow monsters in the attic area. Althogh there was a somewhat frightening effect added with the monster in the water towards the beginning of the game. There wasn't that much to offer, though. I recommend the games from the Resident Evil series over this and the Dino Crisis series. They have a scarier vibe. I don't recommend playing the Silent Hill series because it is just crap with cheap monster and overly dramatic effects, which detract from any horror of the game.
