...BUY!! This game is absolutely awesome. Words cannot do justice to how incredibly fun and addicting this game is. When you play it you feel like you're in another world and you don't want to stop playing. It looks beautiful, the characters move smoothly, and the camera almost always keeps a great angle. This game is a must have for anyone over the age of 13. Stop reading and order it now.

The best Gamecube title to date!!!

This game is excellent. I bought this game with the intentions of a Resident Evil clone, but I was deeply wrong. This game isn't just finding and killing zombies and other hideous creatures, it has an extremely deep and intriguing story-line which is very fun to follow. The graphics are perfect and so are the controls.
Do yourself and favour and play this game without a guide!
If you do not have this game, it would be in your best interest to purchase it! If you do not even have a Gamecube, this title is a more than enough reason to go get one.
Long live Nintendo!!!!!

Not a Resident Evil clone, not even "Survival Horror."

Just great gaming. This game made me NOT want to save, just so I could play through the scenarios over and over. Eternal Darkness has an immersive, centuries-spanning story that will amaze and enthrall you. It is truly the first MATURE video game, having been thoroughly and intensely researched and put together by Silicon Knights, Eternal Darkness is an incredible experience. There is nothing to complain about with this one, gamers. Buy it, play it, let it into your head (you'll see what I mean).
One warning for parents: If you buy this game for your child, play it yourself first to see what it's all about. It's not for kids under 17, but not for everyone over 17, either. A penchant for horror and adventure in your games is a must, and Eternal Darkness delivers in spades.

Deep into the darkness peering...

This is a really great game. Normally I don't like horror games but this one is really good. It isn't just senseless killing and it has a really cool plot, a bunch of different weapons like a saber, a revolver and even an elephant gun. The story is really good and doesn't have a dumb ending. All the characters are different and you need to change your stragy a little bit with each one. I Think the graphics are really good as well. This game is the best on a dark stormy night with no lights on.

Great game for any Gamecube owner!

If you own a Gamecube, or even if you don't, i suggest you get one, then this game to go along with it, because this is one fun game and is definantly worth owning. From the excellant sound, incredible graphics, strange but entertaining storylin, and crazy monsters, it should keep you involved for awhile.There are some seriously creepy things in this game, but it is just not scary like Resident Evil. That is ok though, because it sure is fun just to go around and slash at everything in sight, especially the way you can cut of enemies arms, legs, and heads specifically. It all melts together to create a fine game no one should be without.

an immersive game, almost a movie

Eternal Darkness...so much hype many people will be hesitant to give it a try. I can only say this: TRY IT...and you'll know.

From the moment you drop the disk in the player the game is captivating. The opening screens give it a movie-like feel, and makes you wonder what the game will be like. And it does not let you down. The story is told in chapters that are weaved together in such a way that the game seems like a movie most of the time. Often you'll find yourself trying it 'just a bit longer' to figure out what is going to happen next. The story is compelling enough to keep you going for a long time, and there are enough moments in the game that you think: "what is going on here??" that makes it feel like a good movie you'd watch on a dark and rainy evening.

The story alone doesn't carry a game, obviously. The graphics are well worth it. The characters look a bit rough, sometimes almost "fake", but the backgrounds are very lifelike and believable. The 'monsters' are detailed enough to make them look good without becoming too gory or too much like a shockfest. One of the highlights of the game, however are the lighting effects...when a spell is cast the visuals are gorgeous and impressive to say the least.

I didn't want to buy into the hype at first, but I am glad I did after all...this game is indeed one of the best games out there right now, and could probably be one of the best games to come out this year. If you're not sure if you like this type of game try it as a rental. If you like survival horror, adventure, a great story and fantastic graphics all in one game this one is an absolute MUST HAVE!!!

a Nice romp in the world of insanity

this game will make you question your own mental state! the graphics are good and the game play is smooth and the controls are simple. you will never really get stuck as there are tons of possible solutions to puzzles.the magic system is fun and the insanitty system can really get to you if you like to play late at night. the story may seem convoluted at the begining, but eventually it all makes sense. a very fun game that lasts a whileand is not a resident evil clone. ONE OF GAMECUBE'S BEST!!!!

May the rats eat your eyes!...if you shun this game

Well, let me say that i saw this game about a bazillion times saying "nah, not my type". Then my friend bought it and played and i was like "WHOA! THAT SOUNDS JUST LIKE LOVECRAFT." I immediatly purchased. One of the best investments i've made. This is no resident evil, this is cosmic horror, one of the coolest genres ever created. From the very beggining you are plunged into a world of pure evil, you must make a stand. This isnt your classic "beat the baddies" scenario. There are no "good guys" except your character at the time. There is a "sanity meter", whenever your character sees a monster (there really is no other word), your sanity drops, you see things, you cant tell whats real and whats insanity. Best video game storyline compettitor right here, as well. Let me tell you, when i beat the game (through all 3 times), my sanity as a person was waaaaaaaay down. I kept seeing 3:33 on the clocks...(shudder), buy the game, live the horror.

FINALLY!!! NINTENDO MAKES AN ORIGINAL HORROR GAME!!!

As a great fan of the Resident Evil and Silent Hill games, I was a little skeptical when Eternal Darkness came out. However, I was soon hooked in a big way. The story is well thought out and historically based, the graphics are top-notch, the sound is very realistic, and the controls are intuitive. If anyone is familiar with the works of H.P. Lovecraft, this game echoes much of his writings on great primal gods and how they interact with humans. The one disappointment is the length. I would have liked this game to be 2 to 3 times as long as it is. But, it seems all games are not long enough. Replay value is high, as you play with the threedifferent ancient alignments to receive the secret ending.

THIS IS AWSOME

This is one of the best games on GC its got good graphics, awsome story and its not a game where you will get stuck reall easy and stop playing. Its challenging and at the same time not impossibly hard. I recomend this game for anyone who likes the hack/slash/shoot genre. The only disappointment is guns are the weakest weapons, except for the autorifle that you get in one of the last levels. Also you get to control 13 different characters and over a dozen spells. Even after you beat it once its not trullyu over because there are 3 different storylines(just a little different) and if you beat all three then you get invincibility and level jumping.....its AWSOME!!!
