Summary
A real horror experience!
The Good
Not only is BW:Rustin Parr the game Nocturne should've been, it is also the movie the BWP should've been too. Rustin Parr has a true cinematic quality, stunning graphics, a detailed story and a likeable protagonist. One of the best features is a sliding difficulty rating so players have the option of action over adventure or vice versa.
The Bad
Well, you will get lost in the woods and tricky camera angles will hide monsters until the last moment, but this all comes with the territory. The biggest drawback of Rustin Parr is its linear design. The addition of conversation options or multiple endings (not multiple deaths) would have increased the adventure portion of this game and would give this game a replay value, of which it has very little.
The Bottom Line
Rustin Parr is a survival horror game in the tradition of Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil. A superb story and price compensates for short gameplay and minimal replay value. It's nice to see the Nocturne engine finally put to good use.
