Thats saying a lot because I thought Carnby, who appeared in the previous three installments, was a likable character in previous Alone installments. When the adventure concluded, I decided I didnt care about protagonists Edward Carnby and Aline Cedrac.
#ALONE IN THE DARK PS1 REVIEW SERIES#
The original Alone in the Dark is often considered the pioneer of the "Survival Horror" genre, inspiring games such as Resident Evil series and countless other games of the same type. Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare left a cold, indifferent impression on me. There are two different versions of the game, one being from Carnby's perspective and the other from Cedrac's. In addition to survival tactics and defensive play, gamers also solve a series of puzzles in order to progress through the various mansion, laboratory and underground levels. Weapons such as pistols, shotguns and knives are used to battle the shadow-like demons on the island. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Alone in the Dark: New Nightmare (PlayStation Games) From the moment Edward Carnby and Aline Cedrac set foot on Shadow Island, they are confronted by mysterious, evil creatures intent on thwarting their progress to recover 3 ancient tablets believed to hold the secret key to some incredible menacing phenomenon. Players venture through this horror-themed game with polygonal characters in 3D pre-rendered backgrounds similar to the Resident Evil games. Driven by intrigue as well as a desire for closure, both Cedrac and Carnby fly to the island on Halloween night. Ailene Cedrac, an ethnology Professor at Boston University, also has an interest in the island - she believes that her long lost father is located there. Now I am interested to see how well it works (when I get around to playing it - my backlog is horrible). Based on recent comments, I purchased the game. His good friend, private investigator Edward Carnby, has chartered a plane to Shadow Island to investigate the disappearance of his friend and discover what the island's owner, Obed Morton, is planning. IT DOES support 360 controller, when you play the game, go into controller setting and press make default. Charles Fisk has gone missing on Shadow Island and is presumed dead.
