    Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

    • The horrors in the game can be tough
    • Lucky Nintendo fans - first the remake of Resident Evil, and now Eternal Darkness, yet another horror game in which you are killing zombies in a mansion with limited ammo.
    • Dubbed a "Survival Horror" game, I must concede to the fact that this game is exactly not that
    • As you confront more and more horror, not only do you have to worry about your physical safety, but your mental faculties as well
    • In the same vein as the Resident Evil series, the teenaged bonding moments that are used to fill out a blockbuster horror film are replaced here with a series of riddles, puzzles and tricks
    • Some of the charicters don't exactly meet a pleasent fate (or a clean one).All in all, this game is great for anyone who likes survival horror, wants to play something other than Resident Evil (though it is a slightly better game), or just wants to see the consequences of insanity.
    • As a big fan of horror, and an avid Survival-Horror gamer (a la Silent Hill & Resident Evil) Eternal Darkness
    • While a the story is clearly horror, this game is not "survival horror", but pure action/adventure.
    • So instead of buying a slow survival horror like Resident Evil, buy Eternal Darkness and feel the creepiness that Silicon Knights were so nice to bring you.
    • It is not survival horror like the Resident Evil GameCube remake is.
    • I'd recommend for any fan of the survival horror genre of games!
    • This is the first survival-horror game that I've ever played.
    • If you like RPG's and horror, you'll love this game.
    • Eternal is a fresh survival-horror game that I have the utmost respect for
    • Overall this would be a great game if you're just getting into the survival horror genre
    • This was the first and the best Gamecube game that I have ever played and I think that any one that likes to get spooked or juat likes a good horror game should buy or rent this game
    • I am a huge fan of survival horror games, and the good thing about this game is that it tries to do something very different, and actually does it really well
    • Yes is is bloody and greusome at times, yet these aspects alone do not define the survival horror genre.
    • The game's combat is much simpler and easier than most survival-horror games.
    • As a big fan of horror, and an avid Survival-Horror gamer (a la Silent Hill & Resident Evil) Eternal Darkness
    • It is, in almost every aspect, perfect when it comes to control, the camera, and combat; three things which many survival horror games of the time were still struggling to get right
    • The developers have successfully mixed the experience of great horror movies along with their Victorian Roots
    • When I say horror games I mean traditional horror games like classic Resident Evil, Fatal Frame and Silent Hill
    • I have been waiting for a Gamecube survival-horror game to challange Resident Evil since I got one back in April
    • Playing the game first time through took me about twenty hours, which is a good amount of time for a survival horror game
    • Gamewise, ED is pretty standard for survival horror - exploration, puzzles, and combat.
    • With ancient slumbering terrors, family legacies, malevolent cosmic deities and encroaching madness, Eternal Darkness owes as much to authors Edgar Alan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft as the game 'Fatal Frame' owes to Japanese horror films like 'The Ring'.
    • Another thing is that I would advise anyone of the survival horror genre should pick this up because you have 20+ hours of gameplay
    • most of the puzzles r easy
    • There are only three different types of enemies (which come in 3 variations each) that you'll see across the entire 10 hour playtime, and killing them off doesn't take any great strategy - R+up, A. Repeat.
