 Alone in the Trash June 29, 2008
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Since the Wii has been out there has been a small assortment of games that been truly awesome. Since then, I have been looking for a game to play. I picked up Alone in the Dark because the package made the game sound exciting, and since Resident Evil is my favorite game, Alone in the Dark looked like it could satisfy.
No such luck. I felt the story was good, but everything else fell very short of acceptable. FIrst off, the controls are rubbish. Fumbling with the Wiimote will eventually give you an intended result, but you'll have to work for it, relying mostly on chance.
Secondly, death comes easy, and without warning. There were a couple times I was in the middle of playing when the game would go to the load screen, and before I could congratulate my success, I was back to the beginning of the scene. It is especially frustrating when you have to listen to the same dialogue over and over every time you die.
Overall, too much standing around and listening, not enough excitement. If they wanted this to be like a TV show, then they should have made a show, not a game.
Very disappointed.

This game could have been great if it wasn't for the fact that the controls are pretty broken. Its not like how same games for the Wii are, that you just have to get used to them. No, this game was just poorly programmed. The simple task of opening your inventory by motioning the controllers as if you were opening a jacket quickly turned into me doing the motion over and over again until by some miracle it finally decided to work. The camera jumps all over the place for no reason too.
Atari had some great ideas for this game, the first chapter is actually exciting, but in the end its just not worth the frustraition of having to deal with the poor controls and wonky camera. Its ashame too because I really wanted to like this game. I guess I'll just have to get my horror fix from Fatal Frame 4. (hopefully!)
