Now, having said that, there is unfortunately rather limited character action. However, there are some interface gaps that are irritating to say the least. They managed to keep the controls simple, without sacrificing too much of the flexibility that these games usually boast. I have to admit that I am not a big fan of playing any game without a mouse, but in this case, the keyboard interface isn't terrible. To begin with, the interface is almost completely keyboard driven. Investigating a friend's murder, you find yourself on Shadow Island (ok ok, so the name of the island is a little ham-handed) looking for clues to the murder and those responsible. Right from the beginning, the game is all atmosphere. I am pleased to say that this latest outing is a worthy successor. Dark and foreboding, these games kept me on the edge of my seat and entertained me right to the very end. I played the first two games from the Alone in the Dark series and was very impressed with the atmosphere of them. Grammy winner and former Police drummer Stewart Copeland composed the theme for this release in the series. The storylines of the two heroes intertwine but each character follows a slightly different plot and provides a unique gaming experience. Players take on the role of either paranormal investigator Edward Carnby or archeologist Aline Cedrac, guiding the chosen hero through dark corridors filled with deadly creatures and hidden clues.
This release in the series pays homage to its trailblazing predecessor by offering the same dark mix of puzzle solving and action-oriented gameplay in a new story featuring well-defined characters and detailed environments. The original Alone in the Dark is credited by many as being the very first "Survival Horror" video game.
