  1. Game Chronicles

    For a game that relies on teamwork and the use of light as a weapon, you can't go too wrong with a budget priced title that looks and sounds as good as this one even without the online component.
  2. BonusStage

    It doesn’t stray too far off the survival horror beaten path, but Obscure is a great game that already has us thinking ’sleeper hit of the year’.

    It's a scream of a good time and even though it's not perfect, it manages to entertain almost every step of the way.

  5. IGN
    76
    The co-op mode is almost worth the price of admission alone, while the hidden bonuses you'll receive for beating the game add even more to its overall value. Just don't expect anything too enthralling when it comes to plot advancement or puzzle solving.
  6. Play Magazine
    75
    There's no better fodder for the boneheaded premise of old-school RE... than the high school slasher flick, and ObsCure serves it up right. [May 2005, p.50]

This has got to be the best game ive playedEver play a game thats gonna be memoriable and nostagic later? No? Well this is one of them. This has got to be the best game ive played besides its sequel. The sequel is AMAZING and the only reason ratings are bad from critics are that silent hill creators PAID THEM to rate it so low.
