Eternal Darkness is so much better than Res Evil its not even funny. I got tired of resident evil as soon as i got it, and i resent preordering it, and here is the reson. Eternal Darkness is easier(i beat it in under 3 hours), yet far more complex than resident evil, and all around more fun. i cant c wut ppl like so much about res evil, i was very dissapointed in how slow the game and the characters in it were. In conclusion, Eternal Darkness is a faster, more fun version of Res Evil(not 2 mention 100 times better, even the storyline of RE cant compare). take it frum me im not 1 of those computer nerds that just sit around and play vid games instead of doin stuff w/ ppl(allthough i do hav all 3 next gen systems)this game actually is fun, even though it is not hard, i will still be entertained by it 4 a long time. Buy it NOW!!!!

I bought this game because it looked cool.
I beat it in about 20 hours.
The game is as simple as walking into a room, killing some idiots, and figuring out some simple puzzles.
Chopping a zombies head off is funny a total of 1 time.
It is defenitly worth a ... rental not a ... buy.
The graphics are really good but the game is ify.

Can't wait for this to come out..

This is not your average, get scared up, shoot 'em up game. No it is not. This game spans 2000 years, taking on about 13 different characters. And the part in the title, "Sanity's Requiem," is what the game is about. In addition to your average health and magic meters, there is a "sanity meter." If your sanity meter drops too far, well, you start having "gruesome" hallucinations.
The graphics look great on this one, too, but not as good as "Resident Evil." The lighting is good. Overall, this is NOT a clone of Resident Evil. It may look the same from the outside, but it is barely the same. As the saying goes, "Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover."

In Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, A man from ancient times, Pious Augustus, has taken control of a terrible force and you play through a series of tasks as different characters that will eventually lead you to stopping Augustus from summoning the evil force that will eventually lead to the world's doom.

There are three different ways to go about this game, depending on which artifact Pious Augustus chooses. This means that you will have to go through what is basically the same storyline three times. The lack of difference in the three paths makes the game rather boring; the only differences are what enemies you run into, the order in which you get the red, green, and blue runes, and slight differences in what the characters talk about. Everything else (the traps, the puzzles, etc.) is exactly the same in all three paths. You even go through all of the same stages, in the same order! "yawn" Boring.

The gameplay time is very short; it takes only 10-20 hours to go through the storyline one time. And it get shorter everytime since you will most likely remember what you have to do to get to the next situation. Also, none of the enemies are all that difficult to get past. You almost never have to ration your ammunition for guns; ammunition is too abundant.

The only thing you get for completing the game through all three paths is a cutscene. I was expecting to have access to the "purple artifact story" (if you actually play this game, you will know what I am talking about). In fact, the cutscene leads you to believe that you will gain access to the "purple artifact story". What a big disappointment...

Better than Resident Evil

I just beat Resident Evil (awesome!) so I bought Eternal Darkness. It is awesome! The comcept of insanity within the gameplay is so cool! If you like Resident Evil or Horror games, you have to get this game!

Too easy.

The two words I have for this game is that it is too easy. Minus that, the graphics, gameplay, and style of the game is great. To relate the game to Resident Evil is not accurate. The game plays more like a Tomb Raider with elements of Resident Evil thrown in. The puzzles in this game are very easy and one is never lost for too long, that is a plus and a minus at the same time. Where the difficulty comes in is trying to figure out what spells to use and the amount of bad guys attacking you. Sometimes this aspect can be overwhelming, and if one doesn't save too often, they will be doomed to repeat sections many times. The story in this game is pretty good, although it has its holes, but the movement of the game through time, and the ability to play multiple characters is great. The characters play much like they look. Your big burly fireman has lots of endurance and can run for a long time, your fat architect can't do as much. The game as a whole is a 3 in my opinion, minus the easiness of the puzzles, I would give it a 4 and a half.

Frustrating.I hate it.

First of all this game is way too hard(on the 3rd leverl for godssakes) and you dont care whether the character lives or dies.I like games that are challenging like Zelda and Metroid but to have something be really difficult on the 3rd level is just ridiculous.Youre much better off with Resident Evil if you want a good game that is rated M.Im so glad I rented this thing instead of bought it.I already want to return it its so horrible.

it will drive you insane

Now i was really excitited when i heard that eternal darkness was coming out and i eagly waited. I rented it (do to a bad purchase of a previous game "Gauntlet Legends: Dark Legacy-don't get it it is not nearly as good as the n-64 version) when i first played it the story line seemed cool and it appeared to be a good game, but as i got farther into it, i was very dissapionted the game play was easy and overall boring. The graphics are good which is a plus but they aren't excellent. The zombie fighting in this game is horrible and stupid. I beat this game in 3 hours! That is how easy it is and i feel that even though it was just three hours it was a complete waste of time! So anyway i strongly suggest you do not get this game or even rent it.

Enough

Nintendo should start making good games instead of these stupid survival horror ones. They have no games as good as GTA3 or Halo yet. I hope this changes soon. Right now, if you are to get a game, i would recomend super smash bros.
