I loved every aspect of it when it was released. The graphics were great and the sounds perfect for the atmosphere. The little touches like the sanity effects, such as heads on statues moving the more insane you got. The way the story repeats locations with different characters was great and gave a connected feel to the timelines. I played through several times to get the true ending with a very good friend and we both agreed that this was a once in a life time game, he is, unfortunately, no longer with us so I replay this game every few years in his memory.… Expand

I would give a 10, but the battle system is a bit repeating. But anyways, this game was orginally for the N64. So if anyone was to buy it today, they'd proably hate the graphics cause it's not up to date. Well no shit, it was made for the N64! Now, if they were to makea sequel and mroe spells and monsters. This would be a game of the year! I mean think about it. A sequel, with a better battle system, longer storyline, mor emonsters and proably a bit more challenging cause I find it rather really easy to beat. I mean imagine a sequel on the PS3, Wii, or 360? If they do make one. I hope they make it for the 360 cause I'm an xbox fan. Plus online playing on story mode on live! Dude this can be a best seller for an online gameplay!… Expand

Manejaremos distintos personajes, mientras la protagonista va descubriendo el pasado de sus antepasados. Con un nivel de cordura que nos obligaba a equilibrarlo para no tener alucinaciones. Con un sistema de combate que nos permitía atacar en una extremidad determinada en el cuerpo de nuestro enemigo. Combinaciones de magias que nos aportaban defensa, fuerza o salud mental. Sino lo has jugado te estas perdiendo una obra maestra. Su secuela fue cancelada porque el estudio quedo en bancarrota... Una gema genuinamente olvidada.… Expand

This is an example of a game that focuses all on graphics and Fun for the first 15 minutes, Eternal Darkness coudn't hold my interest. This is an example of a game that focuses all on graphics and plot, yet ignores gameplay. The "original" combat is slow pased, pointless, repetative, and overall, boring. To make matters worse, ED has an increadibly clunky controls which takes hours to get used to, and for the whole game it feels like the characters are walking around in lead shoes! The most overly hyped game in years, Nintendo should just stick to kiddy games and leave everything else to Sony and Microsoft. … Expand
