Atari has announced the Wii and PS2 versions of Alone in the Dark, a game that was originally scheduled for release next February for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and the PC.
Alone in the Dark is a survival horror action game, where the player must make it through the night as unleashed creatures prowl New York City’s Central Park. In the game the protagonist must make use of every item available to him (glow sticks, paint canisters, tape etc.), and can view them by opening his jacket and examining the pockets. Item combination should make the game more interactive as, for instance, you can either crack a glow stick and carry it to light the way or combine it with some tape and throw it so sticks to a wall, illuminating the surrounding area.
When it comes to combat, the simplest approach is to grab a nearby object, like a chair or pipe, and wield it. However, you can also combine matches and canisters with flammable liquid for a make-shift flamethrower. Some enemies are attracted to blood, so shooting a nearby corpse can help as a distraction. Also, you can attatch tape to blood pouches, slit them open and toss them at an enemy, to make them turn on each other.
I like it.
The release dates for the Wii and PS2 versions have not yet been revealed, nor has the game yet been rated.
