It seems like the game was aiming a bit too high and came out with a barely decent product. I thought they put a lot of work into the game and at least tried to innovate, unlike many other games that may have had more polished, so I'll be giving it a shot sometime. (Plus the music sounds epic. :3) What were your thoughts when playing the game/watching reviews? Best Review in my opinion via Gametrailers.

It got slammed on IGN in the US (3.5 I believe), but that was only the 360 version. Although I can't see it improving much for the PS3 release later this year, you never know and it may improve.

They are probably going to try and add some SIXAXIS control-type thing. It may be a disaster though...considering all the reviews complain about awkward controls.

Hopefully! If they are smart, they will wait it out and see what people complain about and then fix it for the PS3 version. I don't know if that will save Atari, but it may save the game...

Well, I'm going to rent it next week, but from watching MANY reviews, I have to admit the games looks like it has bad controls, glitches(I've seen people driving and fall through the ground), and the worst car driving ever.

It's a shame. I think they had the right ideas, but executed them rather poorly. I'll find out myself when I rent it.

I was a huge fan of the original pc versions, but since the ps1 version was horrible and now this one is shaping up to be even worse. The first one nailed it; puzzles, shooting, monsters, all wrapped in a creepy house with a cool story.

To expect good horrow game from anywhere beside Japan is a bit hard at the moment. Even movie wise Japan has most of the slasher/gore films in US beat easily.

It never really gave me a reason to be interested in it. I think I've played the demo, but I didn't like it much.

The late PS3 release is to add additional chapters into the story. It will probably suck, but you never know.

it's atari, what did you expect seriously? Everything they have done on all platfroms as been crap except for the original budokai series. The 3rd one of those was actually pretty awsome , but that was it.

what good is a game where you can skip the levels? That is what we all get games for, so we can skip levels and not play. This review actually makes me think less of the game than IGN did and this review gave it a 7.3.

Nope. There's many more games that I don't buy then I do buy.

What of it, anyway? You act like it's a bad thing that I buy a lot of games.

Don't mean to sound like it's a bad thing, I would love to be able to buy that many games, but for various reasons I have to be a little selective.

It seems like the game was aiming a bit too high and came out with a barely decent product. I thought they put a lot of work into the game and at least tried to innovate, unlike many other games that may have had more polished, so I'll be giving it a shot sometime. (Plus the music sounds epic. :3) What were your thoughts when playing the game/watching reviews? Best Review in my opinion via Gametrailers.Symphonycometh

i agree i wanted it to do well it looked so good with the things you could do in the inventory system, ill probably pick it up at 20 or ththirty dollars all it really needed was a bit mor time in the oven

Based on what we've seen thus far this gen, anything goes really. I mean, is EA not trying to innovate for once in their sad company lives?
