Eternal Darkness(The Jist)

I have not played it yet, But I belive that since Nintendo, in the past, has been a great game developer(not so much in the horror games)but I think it should be given a chance. It was due to arrive on N64 in the beginning, but they decided to hold off and wait for the GameCube. Making some major changes to the game and also to the graphics, from what I see this game is probably a winner.

Eternal Darkness is the begining to a new Nintendo, a Nintendo that makes Mature rated games. In this horror game, you travel with different characters through 2000 years of time, fighting zombies and other monsters. Everything you do has an effect on the game, even how quickly/slowly you finish a monster. If you beat a monster fast, your sanity meter goes up. Killing the slowler will make you start to freak out, and lower your sanity. When your sanity becomes too low, you might have hallucinations. Your inventory might disappear, or you might be walking and watch your head fall off, or something strange. The game is extremly plot driven, innovative, and its supposed to be scary in a new way, which makes it a great game.

What's this? In the midst of all of these great games for Gamecube.. could it be.. yet ANOTHER ORIGINAL, INNOVATIVE, BEAUTIFUL looking game for Nintendo? I believe so. And this one's for "mature" audiences. Even better. People everywhere are raving in anticipation of this game. It is going to be a hit.. no question about it. Pre order it with complete confidence that you're getting a quality game. If you dont believe me, just look around a little bit and you'll see.

Eternal Darkness is a great game. I enjoyed it a lot. It is like House of Dead and Zelda with the zombies poping up to get you. It is Mature for a reason and may be scary because it is so realistic, but overall a exteremely fabulous game.

Its not just a Resident Evil clone.

That reminds me, for those who don't know yet, the Resident Evil franchise has been officially declared a Nintendo exclusive series. All future Resident Evil games for the next five years or so will only be available for Nintendo hardware. That includes several new RE games and all the old ones with completely updated graphics, for those who have been loyal to Nintendo and may not have played them all. Okay, with that out of my system, I'd like to say that Eternal Darkness has some elements that are not going to be found in any other game. Multiple characters in a continuing storyline is one thing. Another is the all-new Sanity Meter. It's actually possible for your character to go insane and start hallucinating because of the impossible things that happen. You may eventually stop trusting the game, because you'll go through a certain part and start seeing strange things that shouldn't be there, and then find that they aren't, and that your character imagined the whole thing. You start to lose your sanity when you try to avoid the monsters you should be destroying, so you can always go back and finish them to keep from losing your mind. That is something great you won't find in any other game.
As far as graphics are concerned, everything in Eternal Darkness is incredible looking. From the textures, to the lighting, to the facial expressions on the characters. And the hit detection is great, too, because unlike some games, when you fight in a small room with a sword or a mace, you may find it difficult to fight because your weapon keeps hitting the wall. There are a lot of things about Eternal Darkness that make it a great game.

Eternal Darkness is Nintendo's first survival-horror title.

In the world of survival-horror, you have to outwit, outkill, and outrun your enemies. Nintendo steps up to the plate with their own survival-horror game for the Gamecube,and it looks quite impressive. While other survival-horror games deal with ghosts, demons and zombies, Eternal Darkness takes on sanity. Yes, sanity. You play as any of the variety of characters that the game offers you, and they're all from different ages. Go from ancient to modern characters, and they all have a problem with their heads. In the game, you have to watch your sanity meter, which when goes against you, you will imagine creatures and horrible things that may be real, or may not. This is really cool, as this title takes a route that no other survival-horror game has done before. I expect this title to be a smash hit, and why not. It's something new and not done before, and it's made by Nintendo. But can Eternal Darkness stand up to Resident Evil, the king of the survival-horror world, which will also head over to the Gamecube next year? Only time will tell.
Overall, I think Nintendo will do an excellent job as usual, and give us a new exciting title to add to our Gamecube library. Plus, this game is for mature audiences for it's graphic violence and gore, which is a smack in the face to anybody who says that the Gamecube is only for kids.

Mature???

I think some people forget to mention that this game was originaly intended for the N64 and a demo was shown of it. In the demo for the N64 you were able to cast out spells and even mix the spells with your weapons to make a new one! I will also mention that demos throughout Toysrus ect was only 5% of the actual game. Not only that but you will be able to play as 13 different characters spanning over years and years of storyline, its incredible. So dont think of this game as just a Resident Evil clone game....cause its more then that and better!

Fun fun fun!!!
