Alone in the dark Wii review -- ONM -- T ...

Review here''Over the past six months we've brought you various previews of this game and every time we've said the same thing: it has the potential to be absolutely stunning. All the elements are there: the amazing atmosphere, the mysterious storyline, the satisfaction when you figure out the puzzles (the game gives you little help and you have to figure out most things yourself), the fantastic implementation of the Wii controls (well, most of the time anyway... the vehicle controls are awful). As much as it pains us to say it though, these elements all fall by the wayside because Alone In The Dark simply isn't finished. It smacks of a game that's been rushed out the door to hit a deadline.''''Alone In The Dark is an utter disappointment. Gamers willing to stick with it will get some great moments out of it but the knowledge that it should and could have been so much better with an extra six months of development (i.e. had they actually finished the game) is almost too much to bear. And the knowledge that the Xbox360 and PS3 versions ARE finished grates yet further. This game shouldn't be on the shelves in this state; it's as simple as that'' Scary and atmospheric

Too many bugs/glitches

Oh dear. Look like all the versions aren't doing that great. That a shame, as this game look good. I guess I glad I preorder TFU instead. I probably still rent this game through.
Too bad.
By reading this, I say i'm gonna wait for user revies. The complaint seemes to be on 2 points alone and I'm a dude who has the ability to overlook flaws in a game and still enjoy it. That didn't seem a convincing review.

Remember that one guy who reviewed RE4 wii before everyone else and gave it like a 7

''Atari'' (actually the corporation known as Infogrames that bought the Atari name and is disgracing it) has a recent history of releasing ''unfinished games''.
The Wii is unable to patch games so I guess this one is just dead in the water.
Well, at least he pointed out the other versions were finished... so I guess I'll have to look at those reviews. More evidence of the Wii multiplat game problem...
I think it is true that it is unfinished because I had bought it. Because of too many control ways being implimanted, it become a big mess. As example, if you want to open your inventory, suddenly you just jump. Controlling a car is more tedious than fun. I found out that to control a car easily, your nunchuk and wii-mote must be always parallel, only your body would move from side to side like you are in a bobsled. Sometimes, there are glitches during game. I think RE4 is way better than this game. Atari definitely had thrown away their chance to shine through this game. Rate : 4/10

I kinda saw this happening.
