My little review of D.
I just wrote a review for the game D on Amazon so I just thought I would post it here to and perhaps get some conversation about the game going if that is okey.
My little review of D. D is a survival horror game with strong puzzle elements. The main character Laura get contacted by the police because her father, the chief doctor of a local hospital have apparently gone insane and killed several people, Laura enters the hospital where he have holed up to try to talk him down but once there she is transported to a nightmare world. Now Laura have two hours to figure out her father's secrets and unravel the darkness which clouds her past before her father is lost to her forever. When I first played this game as a Playstation rental (The PC and Playstation edition is about the same, I bought the PC one as it was cheaper.) I was just blown away. The game come on I think three discs and boy to it use them. By the standards of the time this game was published the whole thing looked like one, long cut scene, and the graphics on Laura and the world around her was just amazing and where good enough to really be spooky. Now many say that Silent Hill where the first game with good enough graphics to really be a horror game, however I say have a look at this one, while not as good as Silent Hill it is definitely scary and it was published four years before Silent Hill. Now I think there where horror games before this as well, however I am just saying that this game is sadly overlooked in the history of horror video games. Now D was originally made to showcase the 3DO console and as such it's main point is it's graphics. However while D's graphics where impressive when it was originally published it have not aged well and the game today appears as rather dated, unlike Silent Hill who had both graphics and game play, this game have only the graphics and a 16 year old game really can not brag about it's graphics anymore. Another problem with D is that if you know the puzzles then you can go through the game in 20 minutes, it will take a bit of time to figure everything out, but the game do not have a whole lot of replay value. D is a puzzle game as in the type where you walk around, you find items and figure out where to use them and that is about it, however the puzzles are interesting enough so all in all the game is rather good for a play through or two. The story of D is rather good and that alongside the graphics is what really steal the show. I do recommend D it is a good game, however you have to forgive the game it's age and just know that when this beauty came out it was amazing. If you like a good mystery and a good horror story then this game might be for you. ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us
