Electronic Gaming MonthlyThe most frightening thing about this experience is how filled with hatred and rage I get when I find myself stuck in the environment or when the camera swings into "s*** view" for the billionth time. [Apr 2008, p.72]
-
Nintendo PowerSo, sure, Obscure: The Aftermath doesn't exactly succeed as a horror game, but it is fun, with some good usage of the Wii remote. [Apr 2008, p.89]
-
Play MagazineSo if you're looking for some bone-chilling survival horror that's a horse of a different color, tuition is only $29.99. [Apr 2008, p.63]
-
A surprisingly good game for about thirty bucks. It's generally worth it for some fun co-op, great atmosphere and really beautiful music.
-
Laughably bad dialogue combines with broken combat and tedious gameplay to create one of the worst games in years. Choose the Wii version, and you’re in for a special form of torture, as your camera wildly wheels about and an added layer of stupidity is included while aiming a weapon.
-
At best, Obscure is worth a rental solely for co-op play with a friend. The voice acting, dialogue, and silly looking enemies are surely good for some laughs on a weekend when there's nothing better to do.
-
It's not perfect, but it does offer some solid entertainment value despite some flaws.
-
Ugly, last-gen visuals further dampen the fear factor. Muddy textures and low poly counts cause scenery and monsters to blend together into a murky mess.
-
The controls on Wii are forced and unnatural and hamper what is an otherwise solid game design.
-
This survival horror sequel is clumsy and frustrating and not suspenseful in the least.
-
A poorly-executed horror game with a lot of control and design issues. It’s a rather painful game to play, and fails to provide any real scares. We recommend playing Resident Evil 4 again before spending the time and money on this.
-
More tedious than scary and more frustrating than shocking.
-
Obscure II was an acceptable game on the PlayStation 2, since it was made as a former generation consolegame. The graphics are average and have some clear mistakes. The controls feel illogical and make the Wii version of Obscure II the worst game of all its console releases.
-
Littered with horrible dialogue, a cast that has no redeeming qualities, and gameplay that simply is not fun.
-
I recommend this title for those seeking a good co-op title for the Wii that doesn’t involve two plumbers. If you're still not sure on whether or not to pick this title up, then I would hold off until it drops to the $20 dollar mark.
-
It's not embarrassing and even possesses some thrilling moments, but you'd have to ignore some quite serious flaws to fully enjoy it.
-
Nintendo GamerNot without its moments, but it's needlessly confrontational without necessarily raising any hairs. [July 2008, p.60]
-
All in all, Obscure: The Aftermath is a hodgepodge of poorly implemented design ideas and sub-par horror elements.
-
Official Nintendo Magazine UKIt's utterly silly, cheesy as hell and only really worth getting for a bit of a laugh with your horror fan friends, yes, but even so it's still alright. [Dec 2008, p.97]
