'Alone in the Dark' Wii Loses Fancy Tech And Open World, Adds Motion Controls - Is That Enough?

MTV Multiplayer writes: "Publishers have largely moved away from adapted versions of their high-tech games for Wii, but they still happen, such as this month's "Alone in the Dark."

"Alone in the Dark" doesn't feel much like a game designed for Wii. That's probably because it isn't.

But for Wii-exclusive owners in search of survival horror before Tecmo delivers "Fatal Frame," "Alone in the Dark" is their best bet. In that respect, how does it hold up?

It's hit or miss. Much of the visual fidelity and large set pieces that made "Alone in the Dark" impressive enough to keep my eyes shut during a spoiler aren't found in the Wii version. These environmental edits mean there are actual story differences between the Wii version and the one arriving on Xbox 360, PC and PS3. New levels were constructed to follow the basic story of 'Alone in the Dark.'"
