The only real concern I have about this game, are the driving sequences. Overall Alone in the Dark's gameplay is refreshing, and something that most people should enjoy. Also Eden seems to have realised that people can only carry a certain amount of things, for instance when I played Oblivion I could have tonnes of stuff in my "invisible bag" and still run around at light speed. The real time inventory is also incorporated into the healing section, with yourself applying bandages and heal sprays to yourself. Combining items is refreshing feature also, rather than "Here's a gun, go kill stuff." Such combinations as a lighter and mosquito spray or a cloth and bottle to form a molotov cocktail can be great fun to execute. Also, the real-time inventory is a cool feature, giving it a more real feel than pressing a button to open a separate inventory screen.
ALONE IN THE DARK PS1 DEVELOPER GLITCHES FULL
The gameplay is the real hero for Alone in the Dark, using the X360 controller to it's full extent it feels refreshing to know that you'll be doing far more than your average, press "Y" "X" "A" "B". Overall Alone in the Dark's sound delivers to set an atmosphere, even though the voice acting is annoying at times it's still great overall. However, the voice actors I thought could get a little annoying due to the fact that almost every second or third word out of their mouth was a swear word. With each explosion, scream of agony and voice acting sounding great. Quality wise however, Alone in the Dark delivers. I don't know if this was thanks to my speaker setup, but I had to end up turning up the sound louder than I would normally have too. As for the sound, I found Alone in the Dark to be quite quiet for some reason. Overall Alone in the Dark's graphics suit the game very well, even though it may suffer from a few graphical glitches from time to time. Fire in the game is a great technical achievement, with it spreading across wooden object like any fire normally would, whilst not making the game engine lag or being graphically deficient. Dynamic lighting in the game is used very well, since that was the main focus of the developer's engine, except fire of course. Graphiaclly Alone in the Dark uses it's engines dark and light textures to a good extent, the contrast of the two types are used well in the game creating more of an atmosphere that you are Alone in the Dark.
