As Atari's last-chance "hardcore" title, it is quite sad to see the state that Alone in the Dark was released in. The majority of our complaints with the game could have been addressed with debugging the engine and fixing up the graphics. A better play-tester run would have revealed the intense difficulty inherent in some of the strange control design decisions that Atari made. The fact stands, AD is a disappointing title that should only be looked at if you're willing to deal with some serious technical problems to experience new and innovative ideas. 6.5/10
