Honest Gamers: Alone in the Dark Wii Review

Bloomer writes:

"The new Alone in the Dark (AITD) is the most original videogame I have played for years. This makes it exciting to talk about, even if the title is not an unqualified success. It bears very little relation to the survival horror games it grew out of, or to previous AITD games, or in fact to anything else around now. AITD consists of a series of dynamic action set pieces which seek to play out as episodically as did the scenes in old laserdisc games like Dragon's Lair. The game throws away nearly every element which has become enshrined in contemporary action-adventures. There isn't a single boss fight capping off a level. You don't have to hoard items for later use or keep them between levels. Perhaps most boldly of all, you can opt to start playing from any level in the entire game from the moment you put the disc in the console. If a particular part of the game is driving you bonkers (and believe me, some of them will) you can just go to the menu and load a different one."
