    As Ellis crushes his umpteenth fistful of twigs, you're merely reminded of a far superior, far more disturbing journey through the woods near Burkittsville. [Issue#338, p.110]

    Blair Witch, much like the rest of the franchise, is a disappointment. It's not scary, it's rarely interesting and it's not particularly fun to play. It has a solid look, but is lacking in just about every other department. I say this begrudgingly, but you're better off watching the films.

    The Blair Witch Project first hit our movie screens over twenty years ago and whilst it wasn’t the most scariest film that’s ever been seen itThe Blair Witch Project first hit our movie screens over twenty years ago and whilst it wasn’t the most scariest film that’s ever been seen it had a vibe about it that drew you in and what was happening on screen was actually believable due to that vibe. The film was actually pretty successful as well but I would’ve never have thought that a game would have been made about it. That being said when it was first announced I was actually looking forward to Blair Witch the game and if done right it could be one of those games that scares the back of your hair on your neck up like a cat, and was hoping that was the case because I love a game that truly scares you. Thankfully it did scare me some and even though it isn’t perfect if you’re one of those who likes to be scared then Blair Witch needs to be in your library. Basically you’re a police officer who joins the search of a missing nine year old boy and tracking down this boy is full of horror and events that make you wish you weren’t there. The story sounds simple and to a degree it is but as you progress you realise that the character you play as has a lot of depth to them and as things go even further you start to imagine actually being this person experiencing the horrifying events he’s gone through at the same time. This in turn makes things become even more immersive and at the same time you become to get very attached to the character your portraying.Yes there are quite a few things that make this game stand out but for me the biggest thing that makes Blair Witch stand out is the atmosphere. I’m not exaggerating when I say then that the atmosphere is so tense that you’re always on the edge of your seat and dreading what will happen next because the visual style and stellar sound design infuse together perfectly creating a horrifying experience at every turn. The puzzles should also get a special mention because they are quite clever and give the gameplay and atmosphere an extra layer which in turn makes the events feel that little bit more important. definitely a solid offering for those enjoying their Xbox late at night.… Full Review »
