What are some odd things that you (who have played ED) have come across when your character's insanity meter is low? I know when I was playing as the guy who inherits the mansion (forgot his name) that when I was insane I re-entered the main room after walking into the Kitchen and I was walking on the freakin' ceiling (It was like the room was upsidedown)...It was hard to find the door because I couldn't see it. Then another time (not sure if it had to do with the Sanity meter) I was playing as the first female character (other than the blonde you start with)

and the screen turned blue and said there was a fatal error or something and then suddenly it went back to normal and she was freaking out...

And another thing that didn't have anything to do with the sanity meter, and I'm doing this as a spoiler because it may be, when I finished up a chapter, before it went back to the office where you read the book,

a screen came up saying something along the lines of "Coming Soon-Eternal Darkness" etc, etc, making it seem like the game was over until another game came out or something

It was funny of the makers to put that in. I love this game!

This game is great!

1.The screen got a single fly running through the screen, then you saw more and more.

2.I casted a healing spell and the character's body exploded.

3.The character's limbs started falling off one by one.

4.I got a "mute" message at the top of the screen with no sound. It looked awfully close like a tv message.

5. The character started growing and growing, then he became super tiny.

I have done well keeping my characters sane...it appears you let them get insane a lot. LOL.

That's hilarious.....

I love how most of the characters so far have died or had horrible fates, except the one explorer guy who lived after going through the temple and finding the girl. I wonder what will happen to Alex?

Oooh, so many spoilers, I must resist the temptation...

Hungrywolf and Juan, how's the game? Is it very good or only "good"? Can you make a little review of it?

Can you explain me a bit the "insanity meter" thing without many spoilers?

Thanks.

I won't do a full review or anything. I'm sorry, but if I get to talking there will be tons of spoilers, and this game is so full of surprises you have to find them out for yourself. This game isn't good, it isn't very good, it's great! I really mean that. A lot of reviews I have read say the game isn't a survival horror. I agree. It's horror, yes, but not survival horror, I think it's more adventure horror. It plays better than Resident Evil in my opinion, because if you point the control stick in a direction, that is where you go. The targeting system is great and works wonderfully. You hold down R and press a different direction to target a different part of an enemies body. All I'll say about the sanity meter is that when it is low, and your character is insane, weird crap happens. And the weird stuff doesn't just happen to the character, it happens to you, the player. I read a review of the wavebird that said that it wasn't for everyone, but if you owned a Gamecube, you had to buy one. That's how I feel about this game, if you have a GCN, you need to get it (well, unless you don't like adventure/horror games. It really reminds me of the 64 Zelda games in some regards). It is an original game, though I know people will compare it to Resident Evil. It's really not comparable though, because it's different.
