Although, there are many different methods you can use to dispatch your enemies - lobbing Molotov cocktails, blowing up cars, using makeshift blowtorches, touching monsters with burning furniture - your gun (you only have a single handgun throughout the entire game) is useless against them. The problem is, fire is the only way to kill enemies (inexplicably named "Humanz"), which is interesting at first but quickly becomes tedious. At times, the flames behave so realistically that you forget they're an illusion. Flames lick the walls to stunning effect objects catch fire and can be used against enemies puzzles, especially near the end of the game, make use of fire's destructive properties and flames can help light your way in dark corridors. It's been a point of pride with the developers of Alone in the Dark that they've implemented realistic fire effects in the game, and they have reason to boast.

As a result, the game feels loosely cobbled together, and the experience ends up being full of inconsistencies, aggravations and contradictions. There are many genuinely inventive ideas at play in Central Park, but few of them work as well as they should and most are failures. It's a shame that there's not more depth beneath the surface of Alone in the Dark, but it's not just the tired storyline that makes it a disappointment. You can count on hearing the words "f***" or "s***" nearly every time our scarred-up hero opens his mouth, an attempt at gritty realism that comes off as adolescent and trite. It doesn't help that our hero is challenged in the dialogue department, having been endowed by the game's writers with a nasty blue streak. Instead I was introduced to yet another amnesiac fighting demons and carrying around a spooky stone. I love a good yarn, and I was hoping to find one in Alone in the Dark. As he makes his way out of the crumbling skyscraper he meets up with the feisty Sara, and they flee into Central Park to uncover the mystery of Edward's background and the secret behind a stone with mysterious properties. He soon learns that he is Edward Carnby, a foul-mouthed tough guy who's mixed up in some devilish doings.
Alone in the Dark (only nominally connected to its genre-spawning predecessors) follows the tale of a paranormal investigator who wakes up in a burning building, unable to remember who he is or how he came to be surrounded by menacing thugs. As hardware gets more powerful and gamers' expectations grow, building a big, beautiful world full of mind-bending puzzles, creepy creatures and compelling storylines is an increasingly Herculean task.īut it's a job Atari's Eden Games studio bravely took on with Alone in the Dark, an ambitious adventure game set in and around New York's Central Park.
