Valiant effort was put into this game; but thanks to the DS's kiddish output, it fails to be that scary.
'The enviornment is spine chilling
'Puzzles are interesting
'Combat works and is fun
'Good weapon selection
'Great graphics (for DS)
'Good in the adventure sense
Cons:
'Fails to be "that" scary
'Sound effects are kiddish and are literally "Are you f*cking kidding me?" bad
'Controls can sometimes not work
'Difficult
'The Ds just wasn't the system for this game
This is the first review ive written in some time now and i have good reason to. I borrowed this game from one of my closest friends Amy. She told me it was so scary she couldn't finish it. In enxchange i let her borrow a game i thought was pretty scary, Resident Evil 4. So as im playing this im thinking "Wow, i wonder if this game will really be able to scare me?". Unfortunately if your wondering, no it didn't. ITS NOT SCARY. I don't know why, but my friends get so kreeped out so easily. Sure theres blood on the walls, and i'll admit its chilling. But where's the horror from the creatures i fight? Its not there either because they act so stupid that i literally laughed when i saw them running towards me. The sound effect are awful, especially those worm-like creatures which sound like babies crying into a staticy microphone. The running will just randomly not work, and its hard to keep all fingers on the buttons while turning the stylus. But its not bad, its good in some ways, just not in the intended ones. Dementium: The Ward actually makes for a better adventure game then horror (at least on the DS), and the graphics are great for DS standards. I guess its ass good as horror gets on the DS, and ill say GameCock and Renegade Kid but forth good effort, but the results turned up in another catagory. A good rental, but you might want to stay away from buying it.
