Another good game, great box art, that's what sold it for me.

The Good
When I saw The Thing on in the shop I was complete taken by the box art, I read the summary on the back, saw the screen shots and thought, wow. The story line is based on the film (as you may have guessed) now I haven't seen the film so that didn't really influence my decision, but from explaining how the game is going to my mates it seems to stick to the movie fairly well.

The Bad
I'm not that keen on TPS but I'm coping, the controls are a bit weird, but hey, what ever lights your candle. Another thing I don't like is the amount of in-game menu's there are. You must know the ones I mean, when you pause the game you get a menu, if your press such-and-such-a-button you get a menu which has millions of options AAARRRGGGHH!!!! TO MANY MENU'S

The Bottom Line
Great story and graphics, slightly strange controls. TO MANY MENU'S!!
