Good game with a few flaws
I’ve played Undying first in 2009 and it's still a bit scary to me, especially in the first part of the game, where you hunt down the first sibling Lizbeth. To me this is also the most interesting part. Not just because that undead gal is a beauty, as long as she does not open her mouth to scream like a wild animal, but because the story is also offering some great stuff and places. My favorite level is where you are trying to get the Scythe Of The Celt by travelling back in time, fighting the monks whose skeletons you were just battling a few minutes earlier. Unfortunately there are also a few flaws I was not able to overlook. And no, it is not the graphics which I still like very much and it is also not the combat system which I had no problem with and which felt very ego-shooter like to me (the Tibetan War Cannon receives from me the award of one of the coolest guns in games I’ve ever used). When you first get out of the mansion to hunt down hottie…. uhm sorry I meant Lizbeth, many levels take part in huge outside areas which destroy all the claustrophobic horror feelings you’ve had in the first levels. This continues after you’ve finally killed Lizbeth, now battling Ambrose and his pirate-type human enemies. The worst part is when you have to battle Bethany and you suddenly find yourself in a huge green stone-age type land with big waterfalls and Neanderthal type enemies which leave you wondering if you still play a so called horror game. There are many different and interesting spells which you can even boost up with pink stones you find along the campaign. Unfortunately there are so many of them that at the end of the game you’ve boosted them all to the max, so the game loses any kind of replayability by trying to upgrade a different spell on a second run through the game. Same goes for the extreme amount of health packs. Undying is still good as well as still one of a kind today. Give it a try and you'll have some fun but don't expect too much.
