Games/Alone in the Dark 2008/Reviews
From Giant Bomb Video Game Wiki
Alone in the Dark
A reboot of the Alone in the Dark series, once again following Edward Carnby in his fight against the vile creatures of the darkness.
There is nothing redeemable about this game.
Even among the worst video games imaginable, it is still possible to take away something positive from the experience. After all, not everything about a video game can be terrible, right? Alone in the… Read more
A lesson in bad game design
Having just finished Alone in the Dark I’ve come to the conclusion that this game was made for videogame designers with the purpose of showing them how not to make a survival horror game. The strange… Read more
Better than its reputation
Survival horror is a dying genre, for some reason game developers have decided that brain dead (pardon the pun) action can compensate for a lack of depth, atmosphere and emotion (i'm looking at you Re… Read more
I really wanted this game to be good.
The Short Pros - Has the best, most realistic fire effects I have ever seen in a game - Soundtrack is pretty good - Graphics look decent - Filled with gobs of great original ideas Cons - Most of those… Read more
Interesting ideas, but do any of them actually work?
I got this game about 2 years ago thinking it will be awesome, then at one point the game froze, it didn't auto save anywhere near where i was and had to do a good 4 hours again. I got to my car, drov… Read more
I'm sure Uwe is pleased.
Resurrecting a flagging or dead franchise is a risky endeavor. Sometimes it works and the series becomes relevant again, see Resident Evil 4. Other times it is the nail in the coffin, like last year's… Read more
(Not Very) Alone in the (Not Quite So) Dark
When I first heard that Alone in the Dark was getting a sequel I got a little giddy inside. My first experience of the Alone in the Dark franchise was Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, which I rec… Read more
Alone in the dark is a very unique, yet flawed game.
Now everyone likes to talk smack about this game for one reason, it has a ton of flaws. However I'm here to tell you that Alone in the dark: Inferno is a truly unique game with a lot of really cool me… Read more
Great Ideas and Good Set Pieces Built on Bad Game Design
I didn't really have any hype or expectations for 'Alone in the Dark' when I bought it last week. From what I heard from other outlets is that is was not awful but far from great. That 'Alone' (ha!) w… Read more
For one thing it does right, it does twice as many wrong
You can’t fault Alone in the Dark for its ambition or for its production values, but for everything else it attempts to do, it does it badly; for every unique innovation it presents, it almost always,… Read more
Review: Alone in the Dark
I'm not too familiar with the Alone in the Dark series. I'm a big fan of survival horror in general, but I'm a Resident Evil kind of guy, with bouts of Fatal Frame thrown in for true pants wetting hor… Read more
just eat my soul already (or whatever)
So having played through the first chapter of Alone in the Dark, the Atari update to the classic adventure game, I have only one thing to say. I don't want to play this damn game. Ok, so I have a few… Read more
Talk About Alone In The Dark
I forked out a few dollars the other day and rented Alone In The Dark on 360. I hadn't read anything about it before I did and like always, that was a bad idea. The game started out pretty decent but… Read more
Some interesting ideas clash with poorly executed gameplay.
Pros Cinematic moments are great. Fire looks and spreads realistically. Cons Everything seems to be disjointed, broken, or awkward. Controls are unforgiving. Game is short with no replay value. Story… Read more
Time to burn some stuff!
Pros A suprisingly good story Some okay controls Amazing,breathtaking moments Voice work is great Fire!Fire!Fire! Graphics are amazing Cons Small frame rate drops A lack of inventory space is annoying… Read more
This game has potential...
Some games are worth play and reviewing, this is not one of them. I got this game because it came bndled with a new graphics card i got and i really wanted to play it and review it. And I am going to… Read more
Suspend your disbelief, get over yourself, and enjoy this game!
If Eden and Atari had given us absolutely no sense of what Alone In The Dark (2008) was going to be, it would have been the greatest surprise hit of 2008. These days developers are being hoist on thei… Read more
The game's Alone in the Dark...just leave it there.
I wanted to believe. Eden Studios had created the most excellent Test Drive Unlimited, which is based upon the most brilliant concept ever. Wasn't flawlessly executed, but the concept was so ingenious… Read more
The developers get an A for effort, but an F for execution.

My really crappy mini-review for Alone In The Dark
First let me start off by saying that this might be one of the most innovative games so far this year. Sadly all the brownie points that I would give this game for being so cool are canceled out by th… Read more
My Alone in the Dark Wii review
Alone in the Dark(5) was meant to be only on PS3, 360, and PC, but last year it was announce that it was coming to the Wii (and PS2), so then Wii owners can also play this game too. However of course… Read more
Alone in the Dark Review
As a newcomer to the series I had little so expect from the Alone in the Dark game and came away hopeful for a future sequel. AitD is basically a physics based horror-survival game with some neat quir… Read more
Flat Out Broken
Alone in the Dark is a perfect example of a company rushing a game out the door with no regard to quality. There should be an achievement for getting past the driving missions without breaking your co… Read more
Am i really Alone here?
I dont wanna write a review full of moments like 'Shut up bitch with yur naggin bout a few glitches' ¬¬ well i just did then but lets ignore that! Alone in the dark, a game that has irritated me, made… Read more
After it's lackluster storyline you'll be left alone in the dark
Alone in the Dark (AITD) for the Xbox 360 is the latest installment in the long running survival horror franchise, which began way back in 1992 on the PC. The original Alone in the Dark has often been… Read more
A lesson for developers
Alone in the Dark is kind of like your drunk Uncle who everyone roots for in life to get back on track. It's hard not to love him, and even when he disappoints you and even at his most frustrating poi… Read more
Alone in the Dark, worth playing but quite flawed.
When I first heard that Alone in the Dark was being remade, I was all for seeing what they could do with the series and try to compete with the hugely popular Resident Evil series by Capcom. Anyway on… Read more
Good ideas, bad implementation...
Alone in the Dark is a new survival horror game from Eden Games that puts you in the middle of Central Park during a huge catastrophe in which, as usual, you have to save the world from impending doom… Read more
Being alone in the dark really isn't all that bad
The newest Alone in the Dark is the fifth installment in a survival horror series that spans all the way back to the early nineties—the very one that is, in fact, credited with giving birth to the mod… Read more
