Overall, the control mechanics are awkward, especially in the vehicle driving stages and while interacting with the environment, where the icons for these objects are not always visible, causing you to run around pressing the action button at everything on the screen like a crazed hamster in a cage. It's a blessing because a diverse assortment of gameplay elements makes things more interesting, but it's also a curse because they don't blend well. There is more to the gameplay than just a shooting gallery, and that's both a blessing and curse. Zombies, bats, giant moths, spiders, and other monsters prowl the streets, sewers, alleys, and buildings of New York City. So, let's just get on with it and start killing things. It's supposed to maintain your interest, but unfortunately, the story is too heavy on details, making you lose interest quickly. This plot device allows for a lot of revelations, which are uncovered throughout the game through various means. He's held captive by a group of mysterious men that seem to be in the midst of doing away with him. Not only does he not know where he is and why, but he doesn't even know who he is. In keeping with tradition, the plot follows the adventures of a protagonist in the midst of a mysterious situation while suffering from amnesia. Alone in the Dark brings you a few moments of shock, but these other games marinate you in the chills. Everything from the story to the control system were improved on by these imitators, not to mention these games make you feel involved in the story rather than a person just playing a game, not to mention the uneasy feelings.
Alone in the dark ps1 review series#
Unfortunately, the series just didn't have the personality that games such as Resident Evil were able to convey. The series started life in the early 90s, and while it may not have defined the genre, it certainly inspired it. It must be really disappointing for the developers of the original Alone in the Dark to see other imitators such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill claim top honors in the genre, while Alone in the Dark remains essentially alone.in the dark.
