Clive Barker's Undying

Best played with surround sound headphones in the dark. When I first played this back in 2001 it scared the beejezus out of me. What makes it so scary? The sound design. They really nailed it.

This was just brilliant one of the scariest games I've ever played - great setting, plot and pacing. The ending was a bit "creature feature" but what the hell. Recommended unreservedly

There are 3 things that make this game amazing, and 2 that make me cry. Good: 1. Very imaginative graphics style especially later in the game and when scrying in the mansion. 2. Tense atmosphere with genuine jumpy moments. 2.5. Good bosses 3.The amazing title music, up there with Deus Ex. It makes you happy to sit at the main menu for hours on end. The bad: 1. The Irish/Oirish accent 2. Clunky feel to some of the abilities and levels. Overall one of my favourite games not the most replayable games but its like a good book, excellent to play once every few years,

I've never really played this game before just as always want to try out older games that i've never tried before. With this said for someone who came to pretty late to the party i'd say that i enojyed the game for how much i have played so far. The game has a good story with some great world that become larger as you progress. Start of in a mantion and next you are here in some place with hills everywhere. Shooting in general feels lacking a bit doesnt seem to have the power like the revolver just didnt felt satisfying and felt a bit off for me. Enemies... Oh the enemies... This is where the game just become a bit unfair for anyone that is new. For example there are skeletons which sometimes throw rocks at you and they do not miss anytime... This really pissed me off and just AI in general are way to good like way too good. Really the enemies are just what makes it a bit frustrating to play and for anyone who never played this game just be prepared and have patients but everything else so far been great with a few hiccups.

This game scared the crap out of me back in... 2001. I could only play it for 20-30 minute stretches before I had to stop and relax a little. Just thinking about the whispers of "Scryyyyyyye" gives me the willies. It's not without it's flaws *cough final boss fight cough* but a very enjoyable game. Using the... raise undead (?) power on a living pirate was one of my biggest "OH SH*T" moments ever in gaming.
