Alone in the Dark Creeps Into Stores

Atari today announced that the eagerly awaited action survival game Alone in the Dark for Xbox 360, PC, Wii and PlayStation 2 has launched and is available at retailers across Australia and New Zealand.

Developed by Eden Games, Alone in the Dark for Xbox 360 and PC marks a blistering return for the legendary franchise. The game follows paranormal investigator Edward Carnby as over the course of one apocalyptic night he must fight to survive and uncover the earth-shattering secret behind New York’s Central Park.

The Wii and PS2 versions of Alone in the Dark were developed by Hydravision Entertainment in parallel with the Xbox 360 and PC games created by Eden Games. The Wii game has been specially adapted to make use of the unique controllers which perfectly suit the immersive gameplay that ranges from driving to 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 retailers featuring exclusive items including hero figurine, art book and ‘making of’ documentary DVD.

The most over hyped game of the year. The AI is terrible. You can walk past the zombies in the car park and they don't even notice you. They just walk around in circles half the time and when you do shoot them, no blood flies out at all.

- the controls are horrible. it's very frustrating to control the character. the motion isn't fluid. feels like your guessing your moves most of the time. and they used the (-) button for jump, what's up with that?!?!?!

- the camera views and positions are akward. i constantly had to re-centre the camera position.

- shocking framerate

- buggy programming - i climbed onto a platfrom, stood up, then just went through the floor! i ended up underneath, in a closed area, with nowhere to go. had to restart the game.

- environment is fixed, you can't even jump over a chair. you can only moved/pick up objects that you will use in the game. otherwise, everything else is nailed to the wall/floor.

RE4 is the benchmark for the best controls and graphics on the Wii.
Alone in the Dark doesn't come close. Don't waste your time. Don't spend your $99 on it. Wait for it to appear in the bargain bin.

I haven't seen any reviews for the Wii (or PS2) build as yet, but I'm not expecting much. The promotional vid/trailer made the control scheme look ridiculous.

This should be read as:
Atari today announced that the game likely to be most-voted as the greatest disappointment of 2008 has launched for Xbox 360, PC, Wii, and PlayStation 2.

Seriously, has anybody seen the reviews? People like to shrug them off, but what it indicates is the game's general mediocrity. It had a lot of potential but the developers fumbled the ball at every single step.
