Eternal Darkness...

...putting Resident Evil to shame. Sure, RE looks better, but this game is a great creep-out. The insanity effects are awesome, blood dripping from the walls, doors on ceilings, your character whimpering, "This can't be happening..."

Awesome.

I've heard so many good things about this game I feel like I need to play.

***Rumpy*** · July 3rd, 2002

Quality game. I'm going to pick it up in a few weeks.

***lbuchanan*** · July 5th, 2002

I'm telling you, this game gets better as I play it. I find myself allowing my character to go insane just so I can see the effects.

WOOHOO! Finally beat "Eternal Darkness," and only after several eves of late-nite game play. Well, I've seen one of the three endings, at least. There are three different paths in the game, depending on a choice you make early on.

Wow. That was one hell of a game. I have every intention of beating it again on another path, to see the different monster-types and cinemas.

Everything about the game is a class act. From the storytelling (a real nod to all Lovecraft fans... like me) to the music, to just a little moments--like playing a church organ while bombs blast outside the cathedral. I cannot recommend this game enough to all y'all. F "Resident Evil," get this one instead. Talk about creepy.

Once I can afford a Game Cube I plan on making this one of my first purchases...it sounds like my kind of game! Right now, though, I'm all about Warcraft

I found this in an earlier post of mine, from last September:

"Eternal Darkness? Uh, thanks but no thanks. This N64 port is almost forgettable in the wake of Capcom's RE announcement. The game wasn't 100%, but there's no way that it will touch the RE experience they were obviously shooting for. However, it's good to see the big N going for an older audience. This is an important step, but I sure wish it was with a better game. Control is so-so, the graphics are solid, yet unspectacular. (Wall textures, though, were quite nice.)"

Mmmmm, them crow is good eatin'!

Yeah but dude, the N64 version sucked a whole lot...I remember seeing it and just shaking my head. It looked like ass. The game has changed a LOT since those days...I mean, the gameplay, everything. I have some of that b-roll from Nintendo floating around I think. It was pretty poor.

I saw some video of it, it was choppy as all hell on the 64. I must say I'm getting pumped for Mario Sunshine.
