    I like Corpse Party a lot, just not as a game. Its strong storyline and polished aesthetics would have made it a great visual novel, but the clunky gameplay drags it down from being great to just good. Gameplay is the be all and end all of any game that isn't a visual novel/graphic adventure after all, and in that regard, Corpse Party is a disappointing experience.

    Version favoritism aside, Corpse Party does a good enough job with the technology to deliver an interesting and thoroughly Japanese story of tragedy, murder, and the paranormal.

    As a horror experience, Corpse Party is absolutely mandatory, and should be experienced in whatever platform that is available to you.

    With the 3DS port of the remake coming out soon, there is no reason to pick up the Steam version of Corpse Party unless you're a hardcore fan of the series. There are simply better ways to play this title.

    Amazing quality. A lot of thought was put into keeping as close to the original intent as possible. Particularly impressed by the realisticAmazing quality. A lot of thought was put into keeping as close to the original intent as possible. Particularly impressed by the realistic audio effects, soundtrack and narrative. Worth a purchase if you're not a fan of particularly gory horror games. Definitely psychologically harrowing though, even without as much of the gore as the original. Full Review »
