Finally something interesting to read again. Felt like ages since the last review of a big title. (Not that the other articles are bad or anything)

I thought this would fill a WRPG hole for me for a whille. Oh well.

Having played the demo, I can see myself picking this up when it is in a bargain bin and playing through the co-op with some selected buddies.
Certainly not something I'd rush out and buy on day one. The general production of the thing seemed dated, but the gameplay took me back to memories of Baldurs Gate on the PS2, which I had a lot of fun with. One and a half times as good as Haze, is I'm sure what blig_merk meant. |

Better than haze! I still think Im going to give this a go. I liked the demo. The score is to be expected though. It is a little ropey.

I quite enjoyed the demo but my current apathy for playing games (a phase of non-interest I tend to go through from time to time) made me cancel my pre-order as I can't see myself summoning up the motivation to play it beyond a few hours at most. If it had been great (8/10+) then I might have stuck with it. Besides, I can always pick it up cheap after Christmas anyway if I change my mind.

Cancelled my preorder - had hoped that some of the problems with the demo might've been ironed out, but it doesn't look like it.
Pity. Saves me a couple of quid though, and with Fallout 3 and Fable 2 on the way soon that might be a God-send... |

Oh well. Hope it's a Blue Dragon kind of 6, 'cause I'm still getting it.

Oh for fuck's sake! I was really hoping this would be good, as I've been interested in it for the last 7 years or so. I was really into the story more than anything, but the more of the game I saw, the less I was impressed. Then I played the demo (supposedly a practically complete version) and I was utterly disappointed.
I had hoped this review would perhaps change my mind but it was inevitable. Such a shame. |

Dan, is there any sort of "New Game +" for the 2nd playthrough ?
As far as I could tell, it just starts over with the same enemies - now leveled up to match you. If there are any differences, they're certainly not the sorts of things that jump out at you. |

@miiiguel: Second playthrough opens different paths. Watch the old 1UP podcast previewing it:

Thx.
And since it says the story is not that well explained not all the details, I think I'm going to pre-ordered the official game guide along with it (I really want to know the story, and all the shit that took 10 years - historical purposes), but my dealer (Amazon) has it sold out, does any one of you know a good website to buy this kinda stuff (I only and always use Amazon) ?

If this is a 6/10 Alone in the Dark is a 4/10 a bit of consistency would be fair eurogamer.
Different games in different genres, reviewed by different writers. |

WARNING: Hyperbole detected in comments.
I enjoyed the demo. The game is far from brilliant it seems, but it's getting some wildly disparate scores. 5.5 then 8.5 then 6 then 7.8. Well 6 and 7.8 not so much but you get my point. It seems it does a lot wrong (inexcusable) but a lot right too. Plus, EG, why in hell didn't you play co-op? Oh hi Halo review here, sorry we didn't play the multiplayer. It's just not done. |
