    Great game for fans of Thief, but don't expect an FPS

    By randmh1 | Review Date: Nov 25, 2005 | XBOX

    This is not an FPS. Let's get that straight first. Yes, it's first person, yes you will shoot things, but this is not a Fist Person Shooter. The only games that I can compare it to is the Thief series. It's a first p... Read Full Review

    What am I missing?

    By zrieprakis | Review Date: Nov 13, 2005 | XBOX

    This game, while not completely horrible, has been garnering positive reviews from almost every other user on this board. This one will be the exception. If one checks older reviews here on gamespot there is a noticeab... Read Full Review

    The best game that no one has ever heard of.

    By dsm_guy | Review Date: Nov 11, 2005 | XBOX

    Call of Cthulhu will probably not sell a ton of copies and that's too bad because it has one of the better storylines you will ever see in a video game. You don't need to be an HP Lovecraft fan to appreciate the game's ... Read Full Review

    It's like you are living one of Lovecrafts stories.

    Although I am not all the way through the game, I can say that I now sleep with the lights on (in the hall way) and I don't like talking to strangers on a dark street anymore. I love the way that the makers have set up t... Read Full Review

    Extremely well-told story and as creepy as it should be be. Action-hungry gamers should stay away though.

    By dryden555 | Review Date: Nov 06, 2005 | XBOX

    Cthulu puts supposedly "creepy" games like FEAR to shame. Some actual folks who could write a story took part in this game. Cthulu isn't for everyone though. It is basically a first-person adventure game, and gene... Read Full Review

    Great on Widescreen

    By crazedcommando9 | Review Date: Nov 01, 2005 | XBOX

    This game, Call of Cthulhu, is truly a must play game. It is very different from any other first person shooter, well, it's actually a mix between a sci-fi, first person shooter, RPG, adventure. Yeah, all that in one ama... Read Full Review

    More Extra Life fanzine cuts! Surprisingly immersive horror adventure.

    By Extra_Life | Review Date: Nov 01, 2005 | XBOX

    You may or may not be aware that Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is going to be the last game I buy for the Xbox before the release of the Xbox 360 (such is my need to buy multiple launch games), you may also ... Read Full Review

    Old H.P. would be proud

    By the_soundboy | Review Date: Nov 01, 2005 | XBOX

    Call of Cthulhu is an astounding accomplishment in gaming. As an H.P. Lovecraft fan, I was a bit worried about how his works would, or even could be represented in video game form. This isn't just a pretty good author we... Read Full Review

    swell

    By mengina | Review Date: Oct 31, 2005 | XBOX

    For how far I have been in the game I thought it was well made and worth they wait. I had it on reserve for over a year. It made me a scared, happy little man. It truely lets you get into the main character and let's yo... Read Full Review

    If you're a horror fan; this game's a must!

    By Marxie | Review Date: Oct 31, 2005 | XBOX

    I'll make this pretty short--partially because I'm only a few hours into DCothE. If you're a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, the pen & paper RPG, Call of Cthulhu or a Survival Horror console gamer, do NOT miss this game. DCoth... Read Full Review
