Alone in the Dark 3

The Good
Alone 3 is every bit as big as Alone 2 making for a large adventure. The ghost town environment works well and provides loads of different places to explore both above and below ground. The music is fabulous and the voices are again very entertaining and usually well acted. Puzzles are very tricky and often leave you stumped so a fair amount of patience is in order, while the action has been toned down to make for a creepier atmosphere. For those with keen eyes and who are familiar with the previous alone titles, the story contains some interesting connections with the other games.

The Bad
The story gets very silly at times with the worst instance being the section in which Carnby is transformed into a wild cat and rises from the dead. The puzzles also were non-sensical on occasion. One in particular involves performing the right actions prior to being killed. If you don't then you are shot dead, if you do then you are shot dead but you become ressurrected. This makes no sense at all and really detracts from the overall experience.

The Bottom Line
Tries to incorporate the best aspects from both alone games with some success. Fans of the series would be wise to get it ASAP as it's true 'Alone style' gameplay, but it won't convert non-believers.
