The Thing

Review by GustaveXVIII

"This is a Above Average game. Perfect for action users."

This had to be one of the best action games I've played so far, The Thing is a great game for all video game players. Id advise you to buy this game! It fallows the movie greatly. This game reaches the limit, One of the best ever if you are an action player.

Fun Factor: 8/10

This game is very entertaining! Detailed, With trust systems, Verious Weapons and items, puzzles, Also very suspensful with monsters popping out left and right. I say this game is terrific and very fun.

Difficlty: 8/10

Not to hard, Not to easy. sometimes confusing. Other times to easy. Regular monsters are easy just shoot them 1 or 2 times and thier dead. Boss monsters can get you very mad! using a combination of Guns and Flame throwers. Using the flamethrower can be difficult cause it always hits the ground. The difficulty of this game is Medium in some parts and hard in others.

Sound: 7/10

Average sound, nice voice acting and gun sounds. Nice explosive sounds to. Sounds are great in this game, Monsters sound like how you would imagine them. So the sound of this game is average to great.

Graphics: 9/10

Great graphics with detailed lines and bruises. Monsters have blood on them like you would think and every item you get has at least one detail on it. I say that the graphics on this game is much better then other games I have played before. The Graphics of this game is Terrific.

Replay Value: 8/10

This Game is great you can play it many times without losing interest! I know Cause I played it like 4 times! It is fun to see if you can beat your old time and you also understand it better if you play it for a second time, it is also much easier. This game has very great replay value.

Controls: 7/10

Well, for the computer this game can be hard. but they made it easy as possible so I would say these controls are much much much better then other computer games like Grand theft auto three. Gun fire can get mixed up with item use if you are firing your weapon rapidly. The controls of this game is average.

Overall: 8/10

I would say this game is perfect for all action users. This game is a must buy! or ar least rent cause this game is one of the greatest thier could be. This game is great.
