   Great game, but could have been so much more, I don't believe they took full advantage of the trust and who can you trust thing. Also I Great game, but could have been so much more, I don't believe they took full advantage of the trust and who can you trust thing. Also I didn't like most of the bosses I fought, it was a tad cheesy when they tried to mix strategy type gameplay in an action game. Who the hell thought that it would be fun? To fight the thing bosses as in using intelligence than using action? … Expand

   Based on the idea behind the sci-fi, horror film of the same name, The Thing picks up the plot some 20 years after the end of the film. The Based on the idea behind the sci-fi, horror film of the same name, The Thing picks up the plot some 20 years after the end of the film. The designers have attempted to re-create the same kind of edgy, are they The Thing or aren't they?, tension by developing a kind of trust/fear team system. You can gain trust by killing monsters or performing a blood test on yourself, however your team mates will cease to help you or even fight you if they lose trust in you (i.e dont give them a gun/ammo or shoot them). Whilst this is a really nice idea in principle it actually fails to re-create the tension of the film as almost everyone you meet will turn into the thing once they have fulfilled their use in the game. This takes the tension away in my opinion and the lack of any meaningful NPC interaction means that you are never really surprised or shocked when a team-mate 'changes'. That all said, this is still an enjoyable game with a story arc not dissimilar to Half Life. In spite of a few quibbles, this game held my interest all the way through. It has limited replay value though so you may want to consider renting or buying it used.… Expand

   D'un medium à l'autre, cela ne va pas de soi notamment entre deux media pourtant assez proches (cinéma et jeux vidéo) mais dont lesD'un medium à l'autre, cela ne va pas de soi notamment entre deux media pourtant assez proches (cinéma et jeux vidéo) mais dont les adaptations de l'un à l'autre et vice-versa se révèlent trop souvent problématiques, pour ne pas dire durement et totalement merdiques...
   
   Ainsi, cet étron opportuniste "The Thing" qui va déterrer un fossile de John Carpenter, film d'horreur sympathique dans le fond mais trop crade, cracra, cradoc, cradingue, trop crabeurk pour remporter l'adhésion et c'est peu de le dire, la chose étant décidément fort indigeste...
   
   Mais si le film est moyen, le film converti en "jeu vidéo", lequel est une sorte de suite directe, s'avère d'une lourdeur, d'un non-amusemaent et d'une non-jouabilité alarmante, encore plus effrayante que la vermine elle-même qui fait aussi bien chier. Par défaut, les commandes sont réglées pour les gauchers et après rectification dans les options, ça se manierait presque normalement... sauf pour le lance-flammes qui exige une vue subjective trop mal faite.
   
   L'interface générale reste néanmoins très perfectible, le jeu est très linéaire et ne sauvegarde jamais ou presque : il faut tout recommencer... ou presque ! ; l'équipe qui vous suit est une belle brochette de boulets et si graphiquement, ça reste -je suppose- acceptable, la difficulté est carrément crispante, du genre qui casse un peu trop les couilles, si vous voulez mon avis. De toute façon, toi et tes clés, tes puzzles, ta répétiton répétitive, toutes tes conneries de jeu de merde, tu peux te les mettre au cul parce que là, ça m'emmerde et j'ai quand même pas que ça à faire !… Expand
