Negative reviews!?
I simply dont understand the negative reviews. This game is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. The idea? Just brilliant. Ive heard of completely visual games, but never before of a completely auditory experience. I have to say, the story is a teeny weeny bit cliché (really, rescuing your wife from some castle?), but the rest of the game definitely makes up for it. I loved the sounds that I heard when I fell off of the cliff countless times. People complain of the fighting mechanics, but I dont understand what the problem is. Combat is SUPPOSED to be hard, people! Youre BLIND! Dont go and try to have the developers make the fighting easier. The background sounds are fantastic, I really feel like Im there. I love the footsteps you make, you can tell if youre treading through snow or simply walking on a wooden Boardwalk. Heck, even stepping on stones, or in water! The monsters are sort of weird, and since youre blind, you dont always know what youre fighting, but that is part of the game! Embrace it! Louise can be a bit unclear at times, like shell say "come closer" but you dont know what direction, but after playing the game a while you can hear her patterns. I love it when opponents talk, or taunt you. They have the best dialogue, and its very funny. I wish I could give this game a hundred stars, because they deserve it! :)
