Games Master UKAmbitious but inconsistent, frustrating but entertaining. Still an innovative adventure. [Aug 2008, p.62]
-
A third-person action-adventure with the beating black heart of a survival horror, Alone in the Dark is a game that needs to be experienced by everybody. Its novel approach of applying shocks into an episodic structure, eight hourly segments in all, is a masterstroke.
-
Alone in the Dark proves that with a little time and patience, a good game can be created from innovative ideas.
-
There's quite a lot to enjoy in this game. In most aspects, it stays true to the traditions of the genre, provided you can stomach the unnecessarily lengthy prologue and the aforementioned drawbacks (bad camera, lousy voiceovers, atrocious vehicle physics and so on).
