In alone in the dark 4, you're placed in Edward's neatly polished shoes as he attmpts to solve another mystery. His friend has been found murdered and Edward has to find out why.
This game is nothing like I've EVER seen on the GBC before! the gorgeous backgrounds burst out of the screen, displaying billions of colours, with full animation; creating --yes, PSone grafics! it sounds odd for a GBC game, but it's true!
trees sway, bats fly through the air, and candles flicker in the darkness --it seems like a movie!
so after capcom's dissappointment with Resident Evil GBC, they finally brought a decent game to the GBC!
pretend youre playing zelda 64, and it gets crossed by shadowman 64, and resident evil 2! that, is EXACTLY the experiance you'll have!!!!!!!!!!! you may mot be convinced, but i have to say: "This game is tops the top!"
and after 52 bargained n64 games in stock at special reserve, they managed to knock the price down again comparing to the stores!!! if u own a GBC, and is a S-R member, this game is a must x1000000000000! buy it now for the sake of next-gen gaming on the early-gen platforms! even if you don't like scare-fests, you will like this! it's like a brain crammed inside a pintsize cart! personnally, i think this all youll ever want, even NEED! OK, so i haven't said anything about the gameplay, well here it is: IT'S BULDGING 20 TIMES BETTER THAN WHAT I'VE JUST BEEN SAYING, AND WHAT I AM GOING TO SAY! oh yeah! the sound! it's so good that i don't even want to talk about it! it isn't as good as Cannon Fodder on GBC, but it's better than any other GBC game!
the grafics look dated at first sight, but when you hear that it's game boy COLOUR, and not game boy ADVANCE, it turns out to be, well at least my, best GBCOLOUR game of the decade, no, even further, the entire living timeline!
i don't think that there will be a conversion for the GBA as far as i know, so get yer grubb out and slam it in front of the S-R cash desk!
forget eating your mum's favourite chicken meal when youre hungry, get out in the dessert and get this game once, and for ever!
i can't say more to temp you, but i reccommend you to buy this golden game, so take it or loose it!
my game score: 98%

I was lucky enough to get Alone in the Dark: A New Nightmare for my Birthday this weekend (Playstation Version), and it is superb. The game is best described as a cross between Resident Evil 2 and Silent Hill. The graphics are as good if not better than the playstation Resident Evil games and the torch you carry gives the game a very dark feeling (like Silent Hill). The game is not as forgiving as the Resident Evil games,playing as the male lead I got killed quickly set upon by a pack of rabid dogs. With the female lead death was even quicker as a lizard like thing liked me to death :-)
What a game, dead before I even got to the first save point. Although this difficulty Im sure will only make the game even more frightening. The shadows in the lightening made me jump, only 1 minute into the game;and the rabid dogs attacked me much faster than the resident evil mutts ever had. These mongrels would easily win crufts, if they werent dead. Definately a must purchase for all Resident Evil fans, I'll tell you more when I progress further into this great game.

Of course ! I choose any weapon, usually a rubbish one, nobody picks me because Inferno is better and I never win ! It's quite fitting !
