I was ten or eleven when I gambled by playing with my older brother. Unfortunately, I was still too young to even let the undoubtedly artistic standards completely affect me, what yes really was a total exception for video games back then. especially the original puzzles were (and are) a real highlight. at the beginning still quite easy, while you have been on it squats a bit longer towards the end, but this is really exciting, because you simply can not stop so until they have been solved. and if they have been solved only does it feel like Christmas. In my opinion, the best mystery of the whole series.
but now the most important. the horror feeling. if one compares the 3 relevant parts you meet already some differences. while the second more on psychological horror sets and is more subtle, the first part comes rather raw and the steam hammer, which I personally better find because the first part nor the most evil and ruthless is what in my opinion, threatening also in the pieces of music reflects. The third part (yes for many the best) is such a thing as the best of its predecessor, but still draws his own thing. which part is now the best, is ultimately a matter of taste. Anyway, I think the feeling in the first best because the most evil. none of the successor I have such a claustrophobic get as the original (I say only nurses with shotguns). especially on heavily makes fun really, since you have here really to fight for his survival and can not flattening each monster, because you have to really take the sometimes Everybody Runs the spel.
the story of the first album is also the most interesting, although some dialogue from today's perspective, therefore, come a bit wooden to me. The characters all somewhat mysterious in itself and contribute much to the atmosphere, even if they seem a bit clichéd. The story is told exciting and actually weaken any rough. gradually comes to the great conspiracy on the track, never resolve all the puzzles completely. and that's what makes the story so exciting and unique. for all who think they have to do is watch the film to know what happened in the first part, I must warn. the story of the film is only partially in line with the game. not only the main character is a completely different, the story is completely different in some parts. The first part plays sometime in the 70's (if I remember correctly the notes of Part Three), the film in this day and age, which I personally find not so great, as this is a totally different atmosphere. and anxiety I also do not get the film. for after all, the artistic share reasonably in tune.
All in all, let me tell you the game is also to around 14 !!! years something very special, the one with nothing in the field of video games (except of course in part 2 and 3, and perhaps even the origins degrees) can be compared. I did not think that I can still have so much fun with the part. but was taught, especially since nowadays so special is not at all out of production. only highend graphics and tons of sequels and sales count. Pooh. for that I forgive the game the same again 2% game separately. hell with graphic if you would prefer for it can have a very special feeling, which is more than given here.
