Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Edward Carnby, the supernatural detective is back. And this time its for revenge. Carnby's best friend, Charles Fiske has been found dead off a mysterious island off the coast of Maine, Shadow Island. Carnby's investigation quickly leads him to Fred Johnson who informs him of Fiske's search for the three ancient tablets which, when placed in a specific location, will unlock an incredible and dangerous power. Johnson pleads with Carnby topick up where Fiske left off and reopen the investigation in order to recover the tablets. Carnby accepts the mission to find and destroy the murderer of Fiske and avenge his death.

The original survival horror franchise continues with a pure blend of intense action and suspenseful adventure. Alone in the Dark immerses the player into a dark and strange atmosphere where conventional rules do not apply. The player must overcome his natural fear of the dark unknown and control Edward Carnby through a deep and highly detailed storyline. Armed with a flashlight and a pistol, Carnby must find the necessary items to survive as well as the clues which will help him escape his ultimate nightmare.

3.0 out of 5 stars Alone in the dark, Playstation 2, 1 Oct 2001
By K H TOPPING (Manchester/UK) - See all my reviews
Alone in the dark is a very impressive looking game indeed. Both the light effects and the effects from water add greatly to the graphical treat that can be gained from the game. However, what lets this game down is the switching of screens. For all of you who like me have become used to the slick camera changing in games such Resident Evil will feel somewhat irratated by the brief but noticable pauses when the camera angle changes. This is probable due to the quality of the graphics produced, but can cause some irratation. If you can ignore this however, the controls are responsive and crisp, and the puzzles and action enough to keep you going for a long while. I would give this 3 stars, but if there were no pauses, it would have been pushing on a five.

4.0 out of 5 stars Play Private Eye, 20 Oct 2004
By S. Cobley (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sure this game may be another mansion exploration / puzzle solving creep em up, but it's the best one I have played. I have played all the Res Evil titles and Silent Hill and I have to say I enjoyed this game more than those (I did enjoy those). The game IS essentially the same ol' mansion slog as those other titles but with 3 essential differences...1, The storyline is engrossing and quite complex, you are really feel the private eye, leafing through documents to be found, some of which are upwards of 20 pages long and reveal the storyline while often not neccesarily linked to a puzzle, just flavour, seemed realistic. 2, The puzzles are more challenging than those in Res Evil (therefore more rewarding when completed). 3, The flashlight effect is very well done and really adds to the atmosphere.
I can't think of a game I have played in recent years that has absorbed me as much as this one, mainly due to the wonderfull unfolding of a storyline as you piece together events, reading old diaries and dusty manuscripts by torchlight. Not one for kids though, as I say some of the puzzles are quite fiendish, and the complex storyline and catalogue of past events to discover will be wasted if you dont take the time to absorb them.
4 out of 5 stars? Tempted to give 5, but a lack of variety in monsters is all that holds me back.

Engrossing

5.0 out of 5 stars wow, 7 Jun 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
this game is amazing
for a start it looks awesome......sounds great...really creepy and eerie
the plot is brilliant...really sucks you in and makes you want to persevere with the game
its also huge....absolutely monstrously huge...it took a good 2 weeks of playing it a couple of hours a day to finninsh this beast of a game
the puzzles are so intricate and confusing you feel quite proud of yourself when you get past them
it also has the dual character option as you play through the game as both characters its really cool to see the game evolve from another perspective
if you like the resi games give it a go as it is easily as scary and the puzzles are more challenging and the controls are more fluid
also if you like silent hill you could do alot worse than trying this puppy out for size....not as creepy as the silent hill games but alot bigger and easiy as confusing!!!!
its fantastic.......give it a try and see if you can get through it without jumping!!!
