This thread has been linked to the game 'Eternal Darkness'.
Managed to lock myself outta my flat today. So to pass the time, I went down town with a couple mates, and then went to my mates flat and played Eternal Darkness!
Dunno what my mates were talking about when they said it was rubbish. And STUPID comments like "It doesn't look as nice as Resi Evil!" Well durr, it hasn't got prerendered backdrops. They're proper 3D jobs.
Anyways, it's a great game. The graphics are good, the sound and voices are superb. The character movement is pretty decent for a game. The fight system is really good. The going insane is pretty wicked. Specially when you start going quite nuts, cos the camera starts to tilt and you get really odd camera angles which just add a great effect/feeling to the game.
I'll leave it there for now. Leave the rest for my review!

Matarok looks fookin superb, thank God you don't have to fight him....I hope.
The combat sstems one of the best bits about the game, being able to target different body parts is cool, love knocking the zombies heads off then slicing them in half. Finsihing them off rules as well, specially with the Turban guy cause you get double swords.
Had my first experience of the insanity effects earlier, freaky it was.
This game rules.

I chose green I think, only had a real sanity effect once though, the camera angles have gone a bit nuts but earlier when I was playing suddenly I lost the top half of my body and died.... then I was okay again, freaked me out a little.

As far as I can tell you don't, you may though not sure. I've only payed it for about 2 and a half hours, forgot to save as well, think I was on the 5th chapter.
God I really wanna tell you about a really freaky, shat pants scary moment but it'll spoil the suprise, beleive me you will cack yourself.

I am playing the 5th Chapter now and boy am I going insane. I got the best ever insanity effect though. It said my computer had crashed and that I should press Crtl + Alt + Del. LOL
One of my insanity effects actually did kill me when playing as Ellia, in one of the shrine rooms the floor bacame like quicksand and I sank under, now that was annoying. Another one happened when I used the healing amulet with Karim, during the spell the top half of my body exploded and I fell to the ground, then it went back to before I used the spell.
How do you use the Tome of Darkness using Karim? because I keep getting killed by that horror thing with the rune I want in it, I enchant my 2 swords but they don't get a hit in because he keeps hitting me.

The giant red monster thing? If you run close to it just keep slicing at it. Or use you circle spinnig disc thingies, enchant them first. Then you can hit it from a distance. AIM FOR THE HEAD
Thanks you gave me the idea for killing it. Chapter 6 should explain why Mr Roivas lost his head, I heard.
