I just jumped in and started playing this game having some idea of what was coming. The graphics are nice check out the opening sequence of events. But not really, after playing it for a few hours. I was scared, excited, happy and so many other things that hooked me on this game. Especially the insanity effects that happen when you lose your life. I won't really go into them so it won't spoil it for those that haven't played it yet. I will say that you will wonder what the heck is going but in a good way. The different type of characters that you will use during the various chapters is amazing as well. I was and am still very impressed with depth of Eternal Darkness. You almost get sucked right into the game. Its a must add for any Gamecube fan, 9 out of 10.
