    A really good game, there are lots of cool things about it and it is a lot of fun to play.

    AITD is a well built action game with a tv drama/horror climax, the graphics are good but not the best on the ps2, the music and voices are great. One thing that annoys me is that enemies are kinda stupid and Sarah has some strange hair.

    This game is not perfect,However it's a pretty good game for those who never played a Horror-Survival game in they're life! The two version's are both great(Wii/Ps2 and 360/Ps3/Pc) Good gameplay,nice storyline(understandable),Graphics are pretty good(not the best ever seen,but still good) One thing could've been done better- It could've been more scary. Conclusion=This game is not perfect,However it's a pretty good game for those who never played a Horror-Survival game in they're life! The two version's are both great(Wii/Ps2 and 360/Ps3/Pc) Good gameplay,nice storyline(understandable),Graphics are pretty good(not the best ever seen,but still good) One thing could've been done better- It could've been more scary. Conclusion= It's a good game,not bad at all and it's fun if you like horror-survival game!… Expand

    Flawed, scruffy and inconsistent, but the small moments of magic [do] some way make up for the lack of overall polish. [July 2008, p.64]

    An ambitious and in ways progressive survival horror game, whose ambition is hampered by its own numerous flaws. Whether these problems are a result of porting a current-gen title to a last-gen console remains to be seen, but the PS2 edition is very clearly a stripped down version of the impressive 360 game Atari have been displaying.

    Alone in the Dark proves that with a little time and patience, a good game can be created from innovative ideas.
