  Summary: Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare is the 4rth game in the AitD survival-horror series.
  Alone in the Dark is actually who brought the survival-horror gerne come to live.
  The games has some pros and cons.
  First of all,The voice acting is a bit overacted.
  They almost put NO emotion in the voice acting:
  Edward-My friend was killed on shadow island and i swear i'm gonna track down the scum who did it!
  Aline- I am very sorry.
  When Aline said the line: 'I am very sorry' i thought: it doesn't even feel like that she is really sorry,SHE DOESN'T put any emotion in her voice.
  Ohwell,Let's continue.
  Even with the bad voice acting it still has some pretty good thing's in it.
  Like the lighting system.
  You can use your flash light to light your way or use it to damage creatures who can't handle light.
  But later in the game you won't really need your flash light anymore since stronger enemies will appear.(unless you wanna use it to light your way in dark corners)
  Also the game is pretty scary and exiting on some moments.
  Like in the beginning when you try to open a gate,but you don't have the key for it then two monsters suddenly appear behind your back.but suddenly they dissapear when the lightning is over.
  So that's pretty scary,atleast if you didn't know what was gonna happen.
  Something i really liked about the game are all the puzzles.
  Sometimes it's pretty easy,but later in the game you gotta think pretty hard if you wanna know where to go.
  Sometimes you are even just walking around and shooting the creatures over and over again till you found what you gotta do.
  Also you get ALOT of key's in the game wich you can use to open door's in the game.
  If you exame the key using the exame feature then it will tell you wich door it unlocks.
  Also you will be able to choose who you wanna play as: Aline or Edward.
  They are both different->
  
  Aline is more the puzzle woman,she will have the hardest puzzles and she only starts with a flash light.
  
  Edward on the other hand uses a gun,Edward also finds alot of stronger weapon's troughout the game!
  
  It depens on you who you rather like.
  Now let's talk about the graphics.
  Most of you are saying these graphics suck,Let me tell you this:It doesn't!
  Within 10 years there will be games wich will make Crysis's Graphics(Crysis is a pc game with REALLY good graphics) look bad.
  The graphics for the New Nightmare are pretty good graphics for a playstation 1 game.
  
  ---------------------------------------------
  Conclusion= Alone in the Dark:The New Nightmare is a pretty good survival-horror game,Even with the bad voice acting it has still some good thing's.A real survival-horror fan(who likes the orginal horror games) should buy this game to add it to his/her collection.It could've been done better,But you like it or you don't like it...And i like it ^^

  Summary: The first mission, I have to control the man to go down the elevator by the anti-fire-pipe the man must to jump cross over 2 big Fans with something dropped on his head. It is very very hard to do. when the man die. I have to view again and again 2 minutes the movie at the beginning of the mission. what a stupid game.
