Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

i remember i bought this when it came out. i loved the previous ones, so i couldn´t wait to finally play this. been waiting for it since it was announced. it´s not really bad, but after finishing it, i was pretty much disappointed, because i simply expected more from this title.

The game at first launches fine except for maybe the launcher not responding for a second but when I start the game up the infogrames and Darkworks logos display perfectly but the FMVs do not play. The sound does but the video doesnt unless sometimes I hit enter or something accidentaly and then it plays. Ive tried every resouloution, compatability you name it. Its a damn shame this game is so hard to run these days.

Anyone looking for something in the vein of the original AitD is likely to be let down by this entry. It's a good looking game, but quickly devolves into running around a featureless house dealing with uninspired zombie creatures (or worse, the eternally frustrating plant-things). The atmosphere and charm that made the first game or not present. Furthermore, I hit a thoroughly un-workaround-able game-stopping bug partway through Carnby's story (this was playing on the original CD, I cannot say whether the issue exists in GOG's version). I found Cedrac's campaign to be frustrating to the point of unplayability and decided not to continue the game. Thus, though it's been some time and I did not fully experience the game, I don't recommend this to anyone unless they really need another cookie-cutter survival-horror game to play. It may be particularly depressing for AitD 1 fans to see where the series went after RE appeared.

Very good game but it is not functionning on windows 10, a graphic glitch makes the game unplayable, save your money for another survival horror, this game is just a pure waste of money.

This game is bad. Looks cool,and has atmosphere, but otherwise the controls are bad, the leveldesign is bad, lacks tutorial phase, there's no minimap, gives misleading clues, the save-system is trash, and I can't play it with light in my face. Oh,and the game can't suffer Alt + Tab, so you are definitely alone. And I lack the patience to make handwritten notes.
