The Thing
PlayStation 2 version
A great game that flew under the radar
The Good
The Thing is a sequel to the original 1982 movie of the same name. The guys who made this game stayed true to the movie's premise to make it feel like a true sequel.Even though it was given good reviews by the press such as Gamespy and IGN, it wasn't really a best-seller.
It has great storytelling, the AI is impressive with the Trust/Fear interface, and its full of action that would make John Carpenter proud.
The Bad
Sometimes the npc's would get stuck behind doors, however it rarely occurred.
The Bottom Line
If you like 3rd person action games, the original movie, or survival-horror, you NEED to play this game. It truly is a classic. Best thing of all, its cheap now. So get out there and pick this one up.
