I highly extremely supremely suggest you pick up this game
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem...
If you:
...love thrillers that can actually capture your attention and imagination.
...love dark games that play with the idea of realistic "magik".
...enjoy games that play with your mind.
(this one, BY FAR, is the game that'll most !@#$% with your head) -see "Sanity Effects" below ...love games that can make such wild ideas believable.
...love extremely detailed enemies.
There's much more reasons why you'd love this aswell.
A very long game with an AWSOME storyline. It revolves around extremely realistic magik spells and evil monsters/zombies.
By realistic I mean that they put so much detail and and "real-ism" into them, they're almost believable.
By far my favorite game for GCN ever.
Oh yea, I forgot about the awsome-ass sanity effects! ;D Don't even get me started...
lol
But I will give an example of how some work...
SANITY EFFECTS:When ever you see a new "monster/creature", you're sanity bar goes down some because you're scared shitless.
After you kill the enemy you regain some sanity, knowing that it's dead and can no longer be a threat to you.
(it must be a sort of "finisher" tho, as some enemies will re-generate and revive)If you're sanity bar gets too low, weird things will start to happen, and you're mind will play tricks on you...
For example, one of the first things that usually happen is that you're camera wil slightly tilt sideways or at an akward angle.
One of my other favorites, which I've only gotten to witness TWICE, is when you're head falls off, rolls down your arm and into your hands facing you, then it starts reciting some creepy old-english poems and such. FREAKY/AWSOME!
Besides those, there's PLENTY of other cool things that can happen, trust me...
There's no way in hell I'm telling you any more tho, because they're just SOOO cool, and you'll be amazed when they happen.
Pics:How could you deny the awsome-ness? Tho the pics do the game no justice.
Even for an extremely early GCN title, the graphics are decent, and the voice acting is some of the best I've ever seen.
"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting..." est. retail price: $9.99 Canadian! I've just started playing this again too! w00t
