Dark Hill has a rare blend of multiple elements from many classic horror games, but does it live up to the hype?
Let me begin with the ammo. Dude, you get like 20 bullets for your machine gun & it takes about 10 shots to kill ONE freakin monster. & on top of that, ANY contact with a monster is an instant death. They were so lazy with the game that there aren't any animations for when the monsters attack you, they just touch you, and you're dead. After you kill about 4 monsters, your out of ammo & you must run through the level unarmed.
Also, the controls really tick me off too. You could be walking, the suddenly the character stops, & won't move for another 10 seconds. This is bad because anytime you touch ANY object (walls, boxes, etc), you get stuck ! A lot of times, you run through a doorway only to fimd a monster around the corner, you try to back up & shoot it, assuming you have any rounds left, & what do you know, your stuck against the wall with nowhere to move & instantly die.
Bottom line, it DOES have the potential to be a great game. Just please release an update fixing these issues & I'll buy full version along with four MAYBE 5 stars.
PS: The CGI could be improved.
