This is one of the best games on GC its got good graphics, awsome story and its not a game where you will get stuck reall easy and stop playing. Its challenging and at the same time not impossibly hard. I recomend this game for anyone who likes the hack/slash/shoot genre. The only disappointment is guns are the weakest weapons, except for the autorifle that you get in one of the last levels. Also you get to control 13 different characters and over a dozen spells. Even after you beat it once its not trullyu over because there are 3 different storylines(just a little different) and if you beat all three then you get invincibility and level jumping.....its AWSOME!!!

This is a nice game, you will be playing the games for hours, even though it is easy to finish. the story had to be played more that once for you to really finish the game, this migth get you bored with other games but this one doesn't, the developer do not try to scare you, so the game is not a horror type, but at the same time you will get scare at least once. play it it's good

I didn't really like this game overall. It had good graphics and good characters and a great story. I believe it had potential, but did not live up to it. I like scary games and this was not even a little scary. If I were you I would get Silent Hill or Resident Evil before this or rent this game and see if you like it.

Initially, I wasn't certain that I wanted to get Eternal Darkness. I got my Cube for Christmas last year along with Smash Brothers Melee and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. I'd heard a lot about Eternal Darkness but wasn't really sure if it was a game I'd want to own. I'd never been big on the whole Resident Evil gig, and my first thought was that ED was another RE clone. After buying both at a game exchange (though looking back I have no idea why I bothered with Resident Evil), I discovered that Eternal Darkness is anything but Resident Evil cloned. True, it has a few similarities, but a few is the key phrase. The story is far far better than RE's, and the gameplay is much more interesting.
The story starts out like your average murder mystery. A young woman receives news that her grandfather has been brutally murdered and travels to Rhode Island to get some answers. WHen the police investigation fails to yield anything, the woman, Alexandra Roivas by name, resolves to get the answers herself. While rummaging through Gramps' mansion, she finds a bestselling book called the Tome of Eternal Darkness. Believing the book to hold the answers she needs, Alexandra begins to read. And thus begins the adventure. Through the Tome, Alexandra experiences events in human history through the eyes and minds of eleven other characters, from a roman legionaire in 26 BC to a Gulf War firefighter. The game spans the last two-thousand years of human history and revolves around a race of beings who---well, I'd better not say anymore or I'll spoil it. Let's just say that with three possible paths to take, you'll want to come back several times to get the full scoop. Besides, there's a secret ending you'll want to unlock.
One of the things that sells the game is the innovative magick system (it's spelled that way in the game). Spells are made, not bought or learned. The game will explain all that as you play, so I won't go into it too much.
The other big selling point of the game is the Sanity system. Each time you get spotted by a monster, you will lose some sanity. This has the effect of altering your perceptions, at first in very subtle ways, then more and more noticeably as your sanity decreases. You'll start to see and hear things that range from disgusting to down right disturbing. The character isn't the only one who'll find themselves jumping at shadows either. Not always, but sometimes, the game will throw in an effect that will make you the player jump out of your skin. Nothing is really outright scary, but then again it wasn't meant to be, and that's what I like. Eternal Darkness works on you in a much more subtle way. So even though it's not a shocker like Resident Evil, it can be quite frightening in its own way. Just try playing it at night with the lights off when you're home alone. Another good thing about this game is that it should once and for all shut up those annoying people who keep saying Nintendo only makes kiddy games. Try saying it again after you've played Eternal Darkness when you're home alone at one o'clock in the morning with all the lights off.Trust me, you won't be so sure after you're done. Oh, and for any parents who read this, this is probably not a game you'd want to get for young children. Quite apart from the creepy way it plays on your perceptions, it contains a great deal of blood and violence. For everyone else though, if you're in for a good adventure that'll creep you out and be a pleasant change from the same old stuff out there, get Eternal Darkness. I found it to be well worth the money. And classical literature fans will recognize a lot of the material around which the game is based.

Eternal Darkness is a very good game that people should at least rent. The graphics aren't the best out there, but they are good enough. The sound and music make up for the alright graphics. The game uses sound effects to scare the player. I won't say what kinds of sounds the developers used, because that would ruin the surprise. I am a huge fan of survival horror games, and the good thing about this game is that it tries to do something very different, and actually does it really well. The game's most unique feature is the sanity meter. If the player does not keep track of this and let's the meter go dangerously low, the character will start to go insane and experience hallucianations. I won't say what happens at this point either, because that will also spoil the surprise. The combat is also really good. It's much faster paced and more fun than other survival series out there such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Playing the game first time through took me about twenty hours, which is a good amount of time for a survival horror game. Right now I'm playing through it again because I believe there are three different endings. The second time through this game will take anyone a shorter time than it took to beat it the first time. But overall I'd say that this game is defenitely worthy to be in any gamecube owner's library, so at least give it a rent before you buy it.
