Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

Almost as good as RE1...but not.

First off I was surprised to find that not only did the game support controller but it had 1920x1080 resolution. For a game that game out over 10 years ago these are very welcome additions. Now about the game it self it plays identically to the first 3 RE games but sugared with more shooting/action. Not quite a good thing because cheap hits are in mass amounts. Some areas even have infinite respawing enemies; not such a nice thing when trying to figure out a puzzle of find the right door for a key. I have no gripes with any other bits of the gameplay because I quite like the PS1 era of survival horror style games. The story is forgettable and for the most part the characters as well. The writing is cheesy and the voice acting fantastically 90s (enjoyable in a bad way) but you don't play this game for its story. I came for the gameplay and I was pleased and considering the price I paid and the included extras I wasn't disappointed.
