I have no clue what game everyone is playing but the copy of Eternal Darkness I picked up [is really bad]. The game play is [horrible]. The graphics look horrible, not gamecube quality! If you want a good game spend your money on Resident Evil and save for Resident Evil 0.
LOOK OUT R.E.

From the moment you push the power button you are immediately submerged into the most realistic/surrealistic game ever produced for any console. Within the first few minutes of playing, the soundtrack has already gotten you spooked to the point of near madness, but that isn't even the game, really. You begin the game actually setting the events to come into motion with Pious Augustus(don't do it, Pious!). Once you find the first page of the "Tome of Eternal Darkness" and begin your quest with Ellia and her story 'The Binding of the Corpse God', you are hooked. But that's okay, you're in for the ride of your life. This new Sanity meter is without a doubt the bane of the whole game and yes, you will go insane quite often without any intention and sometimes it is just too much fun letting your character go insane just to see what will happen. With twelve playable characters all working together all within the span of hundreds of years, it all comes together nicely at the end with Alex facing off against Pious himself.
The gameplay is tough and yet not too difficult. If you have played these types of puzzle/strategy games then you should be able to put the, as they say, two and two together. There are only a couple of the characters who have too much backtracking, but other than that the whole game comes together nicely. Here's hoping to see more Mature games come the way of gaming systems because it's not just kids playing them anymore. You have a winner here, Silicon Knights; I am all ready for the sequel!
the darkness babY!!

This is a nice game, you will be playing the games for hours, even though it is easy to finish. the story had to be played more that once for you to really finish the game, this migth get you bored with other games but this one doesn't, the developer do not try to scare you, so the game is not a horror type, but at the same time you will get scare at least once. play it it's good
Simply Amazing

Nintendo has done it again! This game is easily the best game out there for the gamecube right now. I bought my cube only 2 months ago, and this was my FIRST game selection, and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. ED is better then Resident Evil (the other game I was considering) I haven't been so addicted to a single game since the days of the SNES. Try this one out!! You won't be sorry.
an amazing horror game

eternal darkness blew me away in it u startoff in a haunted mansion that belonged to the ladys grandfather u must find lil pages of a book hidden in each room then the stages begin this game has incredible graphics and lighting effects the mansion looks like the hotel in the shining in the late fall and the eerie sound effects are cool like babys crying evil demons laughing rushing winds etc when each stage starts u can use a sword crossbow or learn various magic spells to cast the combat is really good the controls are very good unlike resident evil and areas u highlight with your sword you can cutoff like heads and arms etc adding more fun to the slaying in this game youll go through the life of 11 characters starting off each time in the mansion in diffrent time periods then u must find the book pages for the level to actually begin this game introduces an amazing new (insanity meter) meaning if youre exposed to demons too long or get too wounded and your meters drained u start seeing insanity effects FOR ONCE ITS NO GIMMICK they pull it off in a way in this game that will trip you out rest assured the insanity will erase your memory card change the channel on your tv onetime i entered a room and everybody was hanging dead from the ceiling i went to fire my gun and it fired slow motion back at me the gamecube even shook one time i thought it was posessed i called nintendo they said it was the sanity effects this game is based on the great author hp lovecraft and the characters are from his storys it has wonderful voice acting from top british actors aswell nintendo spent millions and 2 years making this game and it shows most agree this is the one of the only truely scary video games silent hill doesnt compare and only the new resident evil is even close just wait till youre playing only with only a little bit of your sanity left on the meter late at night weird things will start to happen and will trip u out the action levels are beautiful and detailed the storylines based on lovecraft and the creatures are wicked buy this game today its audio graphics story and gameplay are truly art and u can only get it on the gamecube this game is 1 of the best games ever made and worth getting a gamecube for just for this game only the new resident evil (also exclusively for gamecube) tops it but this games still like nothing else check it out

I will not say anything about the good stuff...
the camera is 0.00001% jumpy...
and sometimes you think you don't control the character...
and i say you think... because it ads realism to the fights...
the rest 99.99999999999999999999% of the game IS AMAZING!!!!
BUY IT an instant classic...
