Clive Barker's Undying

best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With a story written by Clive Barker and solid gameplay, The Undying earns ist full 5 stars without hesitation. In its core it is a FPS shooter so you will be shooting things to solve problems and progress. There are like 10 different weapons to use and you can also use magic to oblitarete the monsters or aid you in battle. Its gameplay feels almost like Bishock without the RPG elements. Its Story is awesome, even for the ones who do not know Clive Barker there are much to enjoy. And be aware this is a Horror Game. So you will be anxious most of the time as you explore a sinister mainson and traverse dream shaped lands to solve a mystery of a cursed family. The graphics are getting old but it is so consistent in its design that you will be wondering if there is a monster behind that tree than counting its polygones. If you want to enjoy a well written Horror Story go for it!!! PS : If you enjoy this game try Jericho from Clive Barker too.

This is one of my favorite games of all time, and it being here makes me quite aroused! An awesome combo of gun-wielding fps and awesome magic elements come alive here to defeat the dead! Muahahahahaha!!!

It's not scary, but it has good story, deep atmosphere and good gameplay.

The raving ratings here made me expect something beyond special, which is probably why I only end up giving the game 4 and not 5 stars. Don't get me wrong, this is certainly a very good game with some novel ideas, decent storyline, and the first half or so has an amazing atmosphere to it. Each and every monster can easily kill you if you're not careful, you never know what you'll find around the next corner, and the first boss is just plain scary. Occasionally the game really had me almost jump out of my chair, and that's something that hasn't happened to me since I first played Aliens vs. Predator. Unfortunately once the you get past the first stages, I found the game suddenly didn't have much to offer any more. *Minor spoiler ahead* Once you acquire the shield spell, suddenly even the fiercest enemy that ambushes you ends up doing no damage, leaving it at your leisure to shoot it, decapitate it, or blast it into oblivion, and you just end up barging through the levels, no longer worrying about that dark corner, or that strange sound, massacring enemies left and right, which obviously completely kills the atmosphere. With that said, is the game still worth it? Absolutely! Go and try it for yourself.
