In Nintendo's past years nintendo fans were always used to seeing mario,zelda,kirby etc. always do their thing time and time again we never get bored of it. Now with this exciting title Eternal Darkness, players have a fresh new concept of fear which is new to nintendo. It has fantastic gameplay and a great storyline you get to be about 12 charachters throughout history trying to defeat the ancients from casting a great evil upon the universe through the thome of eternal darkness{powerful book}. The one thing i would say is unique in this title is the sanity effects when your sanity runs out the game gets really good such things happen as your body falling apart, T.V. turns off, and memory card deletes a never ending list to keep you on the edge of your seat so if you like to get freaked out like the days of resident evil I strongly suggest you pick this title up.
A fantastic Game. Period.

This is a fantastic action adventure game. It shatters the stereotype that Nintendo doesn't have any scary games. This is horrifying, shocking, and huge amount of addicting fun. And, once you beat it for the first time, you can play it 2 more times, and the game is very different. Plus, if you beat it three times, there is an alternate ending. This game is innovative, fun, and scary. Don't buy it for Junior though.
As good as it gets for GCN until Metroid Prime and ZELDA

This game is really a true gem. Rated 9.7 by IGN, this game is curently the highest rated game for Gamecube from a number of sources.
Like the motto says... this game owns ya. You don't play the game, the game plays you.
Really, a well crafted game, but to go into detail outside of the general description already given at amazon will spoil the suprise.
The only thing I can sum up is to go and buy the game, NOW!!
Not for those with heart conditions

This is a very interesting game. My boyfriend bought it yesterday, and despite some very freaky scares, we both really like it. You should definatly take heed to the rating. This is NOT okay for children. Ours aren't even allowed to watch, for fear they'll have nightmares. It's very creepy, and scared the stuff out of me just watching. Here's a hint: beware the bathtub!
THIS IS WHAT GAMECUBERS NEED!

There are wayy to many Pre-Teen games out,And its nice to have a game rated M for once.Resident Evil 1-4,Metal Gear Solid:The Twin Snakes are some of the only M rated games on GameCube.
The Nintendo 64 had lots of M and T rated games-infact last gen if you were looking for volent games most people would get N64 over PS1 and DreamCast.
Hopefully the N-Revolution will be up to scratch with M and T rated games-Well by looking at its launch it does have a couple of violent games.I hope the N-Rev is atleast as powerful as XBox 360.I`m not saying "dump Mario" or anything like that-they need more gruesome games!
bye

...more frightening, more eerie, more entrancing. This is THE Gamecube game to own! Originally slated to hit the N64, it's been four-plus years in the making and the result shows. Silicon Knights has raised the bar for action-adventure games, not to mention creating an incredible horror gaming experience in line with the writings of Poe and H.P. Lovecraft. This game immerses you in a tale spanning 2000 years and many exotic locations, playing one of twelve characters (the 13th some speak of is YOU) throughout the centuries, facing unspeakable horrors and risking life, limb and mind (as the "player," you are not above being affected by the games insanity effects--beware!) to solve an ancient riddle.
I've played just a few hours worth of the game and I'm hooked. This is a game for MATURE players--parents, if you allow younger children to play it, you're going to induce nightmares, have no doubt. You are warned!
It promises many many hours of hair-raising entertainment to the determined gamer. Enjoy! (And don't lose your head!)
Unbelievable!!!

An easy prejudgement "Oh this Eternal Darkness is just a remake of Resident Evil." Far From it. Eternal Darkness is much more than just a survival horror that has no real plot. It is a game that gets inside your head and sometimes effects you when you are outside the game. The reason for this you ask, it's all the creepiness that Silicon Knights was able to pack into one game. There are many gameplay things that I like. The best one though is you are able to pick which body part of your enemie you want to take out. For example, with one character you get a shotgun and can first blow off the head, take out the arms, the finish the body. And there are many historically acurate weapons that go with the time pereiod. That's another thing. In Eternal Darkness you can play over 12 different characters in over 20 centuries. I am getting to lazy to finish this review, but i must tell you one thing. BUY THIS GAME!... If you did'nt you would not know what your missing on. So instead of buying a slow survival horror like Resident Evil, buy Eternal Darkness and feel the creepiness that Silicon Knights were so nice to bring you.
Nintendo at it again

Incredible. Just when you though GC titles had slowed to a trickle.....Resident Evil came out NOW THIS! When I first sat down to play Eternal Darkness, I was a bit bewildered about what all the noise was about. It really wasn't all that great. Then as the game wore on I could see why people were rating it so high - its magnificent. All the Nintendo trademarks are there: Mario 64's house layout, hybrid Zelda fight engine. While not necessarily as good graphically as other games of its type like Resident Evil or Silent Hill 2 for PS2, Eternal Darkness easily bests them all with its superior gameplay, control, and design (the sanity meter is genius). The game was completely involving even scary at times - hearing the wild door knocks with the volume up! I love how the game really crept up on me, it was incredibly subtle how it went from near dull in the beginng to being immersive. Hats off to the big N again. It doesn't have the quick loud puch of Halo on XBox but I found ED:SR more involving. With games like these I'm willing to wait around for quality. Bring on Perfect Dark!!
AWESOME GAME
