A Vampyre Story turned into created by means of a number of former LucasArts adventure game developers, and is similar to a number…. American truck simulator is a truck using simulator with business control factors. Players drive trailer-hooked trucks and supply loads to a designated region which will…. The first racing sequence had me outmaneuvering a monstrous erupting fissure.
Even though danger clearly looms behind, you will see cars heading toward it. Because they serve as the game's obstacles. It doesn't help when your car handles like a box on wheels. Your car will easily fishtail, and if you slightly thump any one of the many obstacles on the road, you die.
Even though the game has a ton of problems and little glitches, oddly enough, the game's music is awesome. It's spooky, ambient, intense, and fitting for a survival-horror game. It's a shame that the gameplay can't live up to the music. The sound effects on the other hand aren't quite as good. While some noises can be creepy, the sound effects have no concept of proximity.
A far away noise will sound the same as a close one. Somewhere in between the quality of music and sound effects lies the voice acting, which is actually quite decent. The terrible lines of dialogue are spoken with conviction, but the constant usage of the obligatory f-bomb is a little awkwardly forced. But perhaps the characters do have reason to swear, because this game is scary looking; although not in the way originally intended.
Not only is the color scheme in Alone in the Dark drab, but it's dreary as well. You'll be visiting many different locations on your adventure -- apartment buildings, Central Park, the sewers, and more -- but the art direction looks generic and shallow. In addition, characters' faces are emotionless. Imagine a Botox patient screaming out for help, and you'll catch my drift. There are also some clipping issues.
One time my gun was caught stuck floating in the air. Exclusive to the PlayStation 2 version are random frame rate hitches. The game is also way too dark on the platform. I know the word is in the title, but certain sections of the game require you to navigate through the darkness, which is insanely frustrating in the PS2 version.
I was forced to turn the brightness on my TV all the way up, which made a de-saturated looking game greyer. Verdict As a fan of old-school adventure games and survival-horrors, I was looking forward to Alone in the Dark. I really wanted to like this game and while it has many great ideas, it simply bites off more than it can chew. Also, the decision to use the same key for actions opening doors, picking up objects and firing weapons means you can accidentally pop off a round as you explore with your gun in the aiming position.
That's not good, since ammo can be a scarce commodity for Aline. Even if the combat interface were flawless, it still wouldn't offer a lot to get excited about.
Except for zombies and a couple of boss monsters, the polygonal creatures cruising around Shadow Island simply aren't very terrifying. Success in combat is merely a matter of turning quickly enough to aim and having enough ammo to pump into your target. But that first part is harder than it sounds: The designers apparently decided the only way to give the monsters a fighting chance was to have them materialize out of thin air behind you or to plop them directly behind doors so they'll be on top of you the moment you enter a room.
It's true you'll probably start the first time a monster appears out of nowhere, but shocks aren't the same as suspense, and these encounters quickly turn into dull surprises--just another event to deal with. Further deadening any sense of tension are the game's mediocre voice characterizations.
When you hear Aline say "It seems that Alan Morton is Yes, that's the word! Thankfully you can turn off the dreadful soundtrack, which veers between s Hammond-organ soap-opera music and primitive, grating synthesizer riffs. Exploration in the game isn't exactly enjoyable either. Despite the presence of glowing orbs that indicate where important items are located, you'll still find yourself painstakingly scouring every nook and cranny using what the box refers to as "sophisticated flashlight technology"--that is, a flashlight--for that one missing item or hidden device you're having trouble finding because of the switching perspective.
Poor collision detection means you can get stuck on invisible barriers that surround plants and furniture or get lodged in what seems to be an open doorway. What's even more maddening is having to find just the right spot you need to be in to push an object or pick up an item. At the start of the game, for example, Aline tells Carnby to push a dresser aside so he can enter a bedroom. I spent a good five minutes hitting the spacebar and manipulating the directional arrows just to pull off this simple little maneuver.
And it took nearly 15 minutes just to coax Carnby into pushing a statue along a walkway later in the game.
