Alone in the Dark Wii gameplay trailer

Central Park is hiding a secret. Over the course of one apocalyptic night trapped in Manhattan's vast parkland, hero Edward Carnby must fight the unimaginable to survive and uncover the earth-shattering truth. New York will never be the same again.

Developed by Eden Games, Alone in the Dark for Xbox 360 and PC aims to change what gamers expect from action games with a ground-breaking reinvention of the classic franchise which debuted in 1992 and created the survival horror genre. Continuing the legacy of innovation of that first game, the new Alone in the Dark re-imagines the genre with engrossing cinematic presentation, compelling gameplay challenges and a thrilling narrative story arc.

The richly-detailed, contemporary setting of New York's Central Park is the host for a challenging mix of gameplay experiences, unprecedented environmental interaction and combat all based on real-world rules and physics. A seamless on-character inventory and health recovery system combine to maintain the immersion as the player drives the story through the free-roaming expanse of Central Park.

Inspired by the story-telling twists and turns of many blockbuster TV series, Alone in the Dark innovates once again with a DVD-style chapter select menu which lets players of all abilities reach the game's dramatic, riveting climax and get the full value out of the game.

"With its genre-busting mix of gameplay, wide-screen presentation style and DVD chapter select feature putting the player in control, Alone in the Dark will thrill all gamers," said Phil Harrison, President of Infogrames Entertainment. "It's a game which will challenge the player but also reward them with a one-of-a-kind video game experience and a huge amount of fun."

The Wii and PS2 versions of Alone in the Dark have been developed by Hydravision Entertainment in parallel with the Xbox 360 and PC games created by Eden Studios. The PS2 game pushes the hardware to maximise the gameplay experience, while the Wii game has been especially adapted to make use of the unique controllers in a variety of gameplay situations from driving to the real-time manipulation of objects.

In addition to the standard game, Xbox 360, PC and Wii Limited Editions will be available at launch from selected European retailers featuring exclusive items including hero figurine, art book and 'making of' documentary DVD.

This game is no way near as good as it looks in the trailer. It would have been a fairly decent game if it wasn't so frustrating! I'm thinking of selling it. What do you guys think?

[HBDRful]

I guess the Wii version would be better to play because you atucally use your arms instead of the stupid little Joy-stick combat on the 360

@Computeronloose i know , but i don't mind... i like the gameplay !

[Computeronloose]

@94robi94 But Nintendo tends to downgrade every game they compress to fit the Wii. A few examples:

·WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 08 for Wii only allowed hardcore or normal matches. No TLC, King of the Ring, Ladder Matches, etc. Waste of money.

·Call of Duty: World at War for Wii only allows campaign or online play. Nazi Zombies mode was cut out.

So in my respectful opinion, I believe the Wii is a waste of time. Microsoft is doing much better with the XBOX 360.

@casper2094 You can't upgrade the wii graphics in a FirmWare Upgrade, obviously you need to buy a new console. Common sense.
