  • The controls suck but at least it has good peril and you can't find it in most games so games weasel...FUCK YOU PUSSY!

  • terrible controlls

    

  • Possibly the worst game I ever played as a kid..If I had to give this game a score from a scale of 1 to 10 I'd definitely give it a negative 5..

  • I agree. Game had potential but the controlls ruined everything! The first person inventory look inside your jacket was a cool detail though.

  • I agree the controls were fucking awful. Everything else was awesome. 6/10 yeah one more than the review, blow me.

  • Not very good controls, but atmosphere, music, bosses, PLAYING WITH FIRE, sticky tape and explosives!

    5/10 ?? Can't be. I think this game is too hard for you.

    At least 7.5/10

    This review "sucked ass".

  • the interface of the inventory is just funny in so many ways =))

  • @VLADN9 dude are u seriously getting pissed because he called the game what it is? Shitty? And I dont play cod that much but if u call it shitty its 10x better than this and makes billions of dollars.

  • Chill out, I hate CoD just as much as this game, just for different reasons,and this game is terrible from a tachnical stand-point, ANYONE can see that

  • This game sucked ass, glitch environments, shitty gameplay, and some horrendous environments make this one of the worst games I've ever played, or at least TRIED to play, it's virtually unplayable!

  • @rorhg0 Then go play your shitty CoD you Fucker

  • @rorhg0 You should try the PS2 version, oh the humanity...

  • @rorhg0 in theory the game is great.........

  • the original resident evil games are still amazing now the camera angles never get blocked you can always see what you are doing, baby excuse for being crap at a game, simple as that.

  • LOL Look into the jacket, what if you get attacked?

  • the game crashed and glitched on me so many times its not even funny, and not even a good game.

  • 38 people disliked this video because they can't learn even use the controls correctly

  • @Vulcas117 Yeah, that and because your sentence doesn't make any sense! ;3 Just kidding :]

  • I really like youtube videos that make me feel like I'm looking down a tunnel :P

  • The controls are annoying, but you get used to them. And there are glitches... but this is a very fun game. I just wouldn't recommend getting the PS2 version, though. It has a lot of the story cut out and the graphics are horrible

  • This game is fucking awesome wht the fuck is wrong with u people??? The only bad thing out of the game is the controls...that's it.

  • @Shadowhedgie91 everything is wrong with it

  • @MadmanJoE100 well, I kinda take back what I said after I played a chapter :|

  • @Shadowhedgie91 :P hehe yeah its pure shite

  • @MadmanJoE100 well, I only spent like 6$ so I didn't even get what I paid for, but I thought it would be awesome...wow I was pure wrong! XD

  • Start of the game was great, got horribly crap for me though.

  • @Craig7767 yeah same for me, as soon as it entered the park it got wank

  • no id would say 0/10 anyone seen the Yathzee review he says its so shit that good and bad have been turned to terry and gonad

  • Why couldn't they just make the entire game third-person?

  • Sitting alone in the dark is much more enjoyable than playing this game.

  • Comment removed

  • Im all for trying different things, but the control system in this game just plain sucks

  • no really this is kinda unfair yeah the controls suck but still it should get at least 7/10 oh and By the way you can skip levels almost in all atari games novadays

  • the controls ABSOLUTLY SUCK for PC.

  • @MistryWho Ur right but driving is easy for PC but walking combinding things shoting is hard....

  • im watching a stream of this game on justin right now and this game is absolutely horrendous, the controls are some of the worst ive ever seen, you never have an idea where to go either. The game tries to be Batman at some point aswell, horrendous!

  • Games companies should be banned from calling their modern crappy game the same title as one of their older classics, thinking that will fool many to buy the game. This is cynical beyond words!

  • WTF 5/10 ZOMFGBBQ Epic Fail at rating! god,,,,

  • oh yeah thats a really bad part of the game oh yeah 1thing makes thes game get a five GET A LIVE YA QUEER GEEZE_UZ

  • Frustrating gameplay makes it a survival horror, it's a hard genre to make :P

  • What a joke

  • the fact that you are insulting stephen hawking and insulting the game, pretty much makes you a insult to humanity, YOU FUCKING WEASEL!!!

  • It wasn't just the controls that let me down it was also the bugs and glichets in the game that put me off. Another game that did the same was Silent Hill:Homecoming

  • This game pissed me off. $3.99 wasted

  • I'm playing alone in the dark on PC running on vista and i have no voice in cutscenes?

  • That game seems so boring that I realized the video running while it got to 1:33 ...

  • Great review! 

  • is the game worth playing?

  • @dante87101 It's worth playing..the only problem is the controls but other than that it's a good game...Don't listen to the dumbasses who say it sucks cause it don't trust me :)

  • the ony reason know one liked it was becuz they suckey big daddy dick at it i got it when it cme out and i loved it

  • I demand a game that let's you build your own glitches. little big Glitches or something.

  • PS3 get the best version thank god

  • noice keent

  • worst controles of any game i ever played

  • Another 6 hour tech demo! : (

  • i gettin this game. only because it only 9 bucks. and i need a game to play until splinter cell conviction comes out.

  • I was punished,I played the ps2 version and finished it,just because I was bored,it sucks so much,its ass

  • The game was kinda fun but the endings just ruined it

  • you are ment to use your head not your gun to finish the game it took me a while but i finished it and was happy that it was more then a shoot'em up i got to invent ways to kill my enemies if u cant figure that out dont bother with the game it will just confuse an allready stupid person

  • Truly, this is the worst pile of shit I've ever played. Heck, Vampire Rain is better....

  • yeh i saw it for ps3 and 360 so i got it for wii thinking i would get the same games with worse grafics but instead i got a pile of shit of an unfineshed game

  • i was looking so forward to this game but the controlls ruined it :(

  • i agree, alone in the dark had potential to be the greatest game of all-time even. but the physics and the controls really blocked the the appreciation of the gameplay. the concept was perfect and so was the graphics and story, but somehow it ain't as good as it looks. and if they remake this game hopefully they don't make it to where the monsters die from ONLY fire.

  • it was an awesome game the controllers were good you just need to coordinate also the inventory system was realistic no like the other games where you can stop time.

  • judging by the comments some people like it others dont but thats other peoples opinions go play it ur self and see wat u think

  • the mechanics might be frustrating, but it looks realistic at least xD

  • I have it for the wii

    I didn't expect to be blown away by the graphics, maybe it would have made a difference if I got it for 360 but the graphics are horrendous. I havn't seen so many pixels since playing the legend of the dragoon. Though, at least the leagend of the dragoon had a good story, this game is simply wonky

  • really? the wii? how vould you possibly expect good graphics?

  • the graphics wear below the wii standers for alone in the dark.

    it can handel better that alot of peaple thing (like conduit ssbb so on)

  • that game was so hard just because you had to set evrthing on fire to kill it and if there was no fire around well ummmm..... yeh skip it

  • Lol i laughed a lil bit at the "steven hawkings" comment..

  • This game runned on my 286sx

    the primorial soup of 3rd person 3d

  • most frustrating controls ever!!!! After a while you smashed your controller into your TV. this is so bad

  • these reviews are put together as if a kid were on the job and they dont address the things that need to be

  • I have this game, the graphics are shockinly awfull, the music is creepy, the controls are unusabal and the story is weird, the only plus is that the makers of the game are making money from it

  • the only reason anyone doesnt like this game cause they suck at it

  • dude, agree 100% i loved this game!

  • nah this game isn't that good gets boring after you beat it once

  • thats why i have gamefly cause when it got boring i sent it back

  • @grimmenigma949 Wow man,no,thats not the fucking case,ok,i hate people like you who say if you dont like that game,you jsut suck at it,no,the controls suck ASS,especcially for the driving,the inventory is hellish,combat is just horrible,fuck this horseshit,maybe if they left this game in develoupment for maybe a few more months,then this game would be all time better than it is,but they released it to ealry,and it fucking sucks for it.

  • @PREDAL1ENWARRIOR see my point.....you cant control the game comfortably thus you dont like it

    ya they could use some work but i think its pretty easy to drive and find shit in my inventory and i kick ass in general,

    shit i kill myself in that game more than i die lol

    my friend said the same EXACT shit about fighting games and he doesnt like playing them

  • @grimmenigma949 Actually enjoyed it, despite some obvious flaws! 

  • @grimmenigma949

    I don't like the Game because it has the worst Controls since the 90's if not the worst controls I ever encountered in a Videogame! And yes, I have to admit I am no 'pro' in this game. Mostly due to the fact that the controls and sometimes the camera sucks balls and some passages are just a pain in the ass. For instance the driving sequences...just horrible.

  • @Soulflyerforever no argument there, i myself dislike the controls, and the driving parts,,,just horrid

    but then again wonky controls dont really bother me as i master them regardless,

    evr play silent hill? same there, its hard to kick as but once you master it, it thenh becomes really fun

  • @grimmenigma949 lol the game was garbage! the controls were retarded, at one point i had to fucking blink.

  • Comment removed

  • @ShatterEffectt cool story bro

  • doesnt seem that great. ok but not my type of game. id rather resi

  • alone in the dark [ inferno ] 9/10

  • Frustrating & Annoying this game.Thanks for the review

  • everyone keeps moaning about how fire is the main way to kill enemys in this but in alan wake (what everyones getting excited about) you use light as the main way of defeating enemys.

  • I'm definately a hard core gamer, and because of poor reviews I ignored this game even though I was interested. Now that it's $10 for PC, I picked it up and was really surprised. It's a great game. Sure, the controls are wierd, but they just take getting used to.

  • The driving ruined this game for me

  • you have to keep pressing the button to blink...it was terrible

  • i give 3/10

  • Got max gamerscore on this game.

  • so did i

  • well, he should try it on the Wii, much better controls!

  • wow i think this game was superb. the controlls were fine. i think this game is one of those that has fans and haters at the same balance. I love how scary it can be at times too. them superhumanz are so annoying though.

  • which game is better?

    Silent hill: Homecoming or

    Alone in the Dark?

  • Silent Hill Homecoming.

  • this game is now aged 15+

  • I dont understand why people complain about the controls so damn much.

    I have beaten this game 2 times and i never even think about the controls.

    This game does NOT control like thev old resident evil games at all.

    This is one of the best games i have played in a long time and it does not deserve all the damn complainin g it gets over the controls.

    I never have any problems controling my character at least and only think about the controls when people complain about it in reviews.

  • On xbox 360 I gave up after a few levels because the controls are just too clunky

  • Game was really good. Had a couple annoying glitches but it was really incredible

  • THis is realistic 8/10 you have to bandage and spray ur wounds u can't get more realistic than that

  • It was down right awfull compared to what I thought it was going to be like. I pre-ordered it for Wii, it was amazing around the first few levels and as the game got further on then it just got worse..:( I looked forward to it so much it but it didnt live up to expectations (although the aiming was much better that the xbox version!)

    They also ended the story with out you feeling like you had actually just finished a game, I sat there waiting for the next level. 3/10

  • Wii edition is awesome. Better than the xbox edition

  • i thought it was pretty good

  • Sorry GamesWeasel I love your reviews but this review is horrendous. This gamewas one of the best of 2008. People jump on IGN's bandwagon and say it sucks when IGN reviewed a pirated copy of the game. The only well done reviews I've seen are GameTrailers and Armake and some other independants.

    Amazing game, aweful review.

  • Are you kidding me!? I bought Alone in dark the day came out and now I cry my self to sleep. This game has more bugs than land fill.I was killed by a fucking window that your supost to drive through! I am sory but AitD is the single worst game I have ever played.BUT I do agree that every one copys IGN like when it came to games like Assassins Creed(to low) or GTA4 (to high).

  • you played a diff game is ur saying that

  • It was nearly unplayable, dude... >_>

  • the game is not bad...ps3 version is bbetter

  • The ps3 version came out much later

  • people always bitch about how they want realistic type games and when one like this comes out everybody starts bitching sayiong its to hard damn stupid people go fucking play some tetris if you cant play games you dumbasses people gave the first silent hills bad reviews because it was realistic when infact they turned out to be the greatest games made on 2nd gen game systems

  • I just bought a Wii and Alone in the Dark so that I could enjoy a scary game while y gf has the colorful cartoonish Wii games.

    The controls for Alone in the Dark are fucktarded and terribly annoying. Set aside from that the story and graphics are impressive.

    Also, for this review, the narrator sounds like the geco from geico car insurance.

  • all brittish people sound alike

  • you spack

  • you're a fucking tool, so Irish and the Scottish sound the same? there's over 300 different accents in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales alone.

  • i never said they sound the same you mentally retarded piece of shit go fucking kill yourself and necrophiliate yourself while your father videotapes it and your drunk mother overdoses on meth and gets raped

  • Nice insult, honestly.

  • Um...what?

  • ... nobody hugged you as a kid, huh?

  • gamesweasel, i would watch your reviews...if you didn't speak like a newscaster.

  • Controls and inventory system were ok for me the inventory was very smart also I have no problem when gameplay isn't paused cause this makes players to stay calm and make a plan to use their inventory and items.

    This game is still bad but I'm gonna talk about the part that made me send this game back to the gameshelf faster than superman 64, the game had broken physics and the section where I have to kill 30 satan roots then after 3 hours of that I had to another 50 (no joke this is real).

  • I think that the inventory system was great. Really immersive.

  • the original alone in the dark's controls were a joke, apparently this is the same lol

  • this is a heavily unfair review, i've heard too many "annoying/frustrating" adjectives while commenting some game mechanic choices that i personally find, for example, amazing. This review rate is therefore influenced by the personal taste, and it fails 'cause in such jobs people should be as much neutral/objective as possible.

  • Controles is something you have to review and you cant say that his personal taste make him rate the controls bad. Theres 1 correct way and I'm pretty sure hes holding it right. If you make a stupid inventory system and have people switching between third persion and first person so much its annoying you deserve a bad rating.

  • No, Nochtresis is right. You have to review but keeping for yourself the opinions and let people judge on their own without getting influenced by bad adjectives. I like the inventory in real time and how it looks, make it more realistic and i never got problems with controls.

  • Well what kind of review is it if you don't put your opinions about the game in it? Kinda looses its point. Anyone can make a game look cool if they don't say what bugs them. But sure its a taste thing.

  • indeed he's right. that is why that guy from gamespot got fired. and i hope this guy wouldn't go in that direction. what the fcuk does he wanna play.. pacman game?

  • reviews can be as negative or positive as the reviewer wants them to be. buying a game from a neutral standpoint is silly. getting a mixture or positive and negative reviews is a better insight.

  • Lol "Just as much use in an action situation as professor Stephen Hawkins."

  • lol I was watching the ps3 reviews of Gameweasel, and found this game in there.. but the funny thing is while he is bashing a little the game.. i have noticed that it was the xbox version.. wich is totally crap.. but why is it in the ps3 reviews? and why didn't you play the ps3 version.. wich has ALOT of better improvements?

    Please reply Gameweasel

  • We'll mention all formats of a game and try to include a mixture of different versions throughout the review. If it's a game rolled out between consoles and handhelds we'll usually include gameplay footage of the higher resolution console versions and occasionally state which platform the game performs best on. Thanks for the feedback.

  • still, why did you include the PS3? they fixed all of the problems that you said the game has

  • THIS GAME SUCKS!!!

  • dude this game sucked! I mean I've played some old and shitty games in my time. some as old as 2001. so I know what I'm saying when I say this game really at sucks dick hard. Don't waste any money on this POS.

  • Seriously! You think 2001 is old?! Aw shit, that's hilarious!

  • you suck alon in the dark is a god game with grate store and game play maby control is bed bat the game is fantastick, you are an asshol

  • dude learn how to spell

  • maybe you tarded yanks need to understand that english is many people's second language.. How many languages do you speak? Would like to see how you spell in his language. Twat

  • barely, now piss off

  • fuck u stupid fuck you only know one language while a lot of people know at least 2. So shut up motherfucker. You are retard

  • motherfucker

    shut the fucking hell up

    you stupid wank.

    suck a dick

    ps. i am RETARD? LOL!!!!! DONT YOU MEAN "A RETARD"? AHAHAHAHAHA

    fuck you

  • I played the demo and I don't think it is bad at all.

  • are u kidding me? the demo sucked BALLS!!!!

  • Not kidding. My views were also kind of influenced by my father who was watching me play it at the time. Did you buy this game?

  • thank god no. what a waste of money that would have been.

  • I love this game,and i would at least give it an 8.5.

  • I can't understand why everybody hates this game. I got it yesterday for the PC and I love it. Sure, the controls seem bad at the beginning, but you get used to them. I love the realistic inventory and healing system. Gameplay is great, one moment you're hanging from a ledge 40 storeys high, the other moment you're speeding in a car through New York followed by a earthquake.

  • Yeah dude , got it for PC not long ago as well (although its in russian) . My rating is 9 !

  • lmao i like this guy

  • Really?! I thought he made them seem better than they were.

  • I couldn't do the RE controllers and couldn't do this as well. I love the game but the frustration of the game gives me restless leg syndrome and I get vomittie.......

  • Um does this guy realise theres a quick select and fav combinations. Plus looking through your jacket while real time is intense. It's like "oh shit oh shit c'mon c'mon". Controls arent wonky.

  • Thats not the game. I've never had a problem with mine. So it's something else

  • Lol jericho doesn't lag/freeze it runs smoothly at least for me, same thing with this game.

  • why the fuck did i buy this game?

  • this guys voice is retarded but THIS GAME IS AWFUL!!!!!

  • the PS2 version was more terrible than the 360 but fear not PS3 Alone in the Dark is going to be improved alot

  • OMG i dont dare to play this game on the ps2 i hate it enough on the 360

  • believe me don't play it extremely bad graphics no real story you can't free rome or mix items it sucked it was like they Made it in the Dark

  • hehe I agree!

  • alone in the dark owns and the controls shouldnt slice out soooo much points 8/10 would be fair it has a great story and decent controls but i'd give a 9

  • I think that they way you have to switch to third person and first person is annoying plus the camera in third person is quite limited.

  • that game was fun more then 5/10

  • i don't get what happened to old times reviews... in old times first value was whether GAME IS FUN TO PLAY not "it's missing that" "it needs that" "it shouldn't be like that"...

  • i got u man like the idea of the combat its not just shoot shoot shoot u have 2 think its great
