Default The Devil Inside

Here is a picture.

Now this game is a fail. Sry everyone, no wonder it never got any fame.

The basic idea is, that in the frame of a TV-show you, the riporter go into hunted houses (one for this game) and ... do stuff. Noone's sure exactly what you're supposed to do. Kill undeads? Cleanse the house? Or amuse the audience? The game doesn't bother to tell you.

You're also supposed to be able to shapeshift. At least according to the cover. Because there is no manual. So you don't know how.

There are many things you don't know about although you should. Like you have inventory. Or the use of medkits (they don't mean aouthealing). Or the fact your transformed form has mana-limit, how you come by mana, how you can get hurt in your two forms and so on.

The aiming system is also shit. I have no problem with the move by keyboard - shoot by mouse system, none at all. But the fact that kills require headshots (or heluva lot of ammo what are scarce), and targeting a head-wide area is already hard, plus the constant moving of the opponent and you own breathing constatly moves the laserpointer - it makes things tiering.

There is also not enough action as things are in the Resident Evil series.

The "surprises" what are there to show you how "creative" the programmers were, adding the waypoint-save system is just plain annoying.

The many cameras idea is also useless. The resolution of the game just makes not possible to activate the split-screen options as that'd take away too much from the screen. Changing the main camera is also not an option as the other views are plain shit.
Not to mention the cameraman who follows you is an IDIOT and an immortal - or a hugh line of total imbecils stand in row to be your cameraman. Why I say this? Well, if the cameraman dies, he'll respawn and come to you from the far to join again, so no reason trying to protect him. Not that you'd have too much chance saving his ass, as they are total dumb: once I just stood volunteraly until for freakin' 2 entire minutes some zombie was chewing on 'im, and 'e did nuthin.

The final addition is, that items on the gorund are too tiny and indistinguishable. The worst is when they're inside some locker, what has no hint it has something inside so you should investigate.

Add this that the game is too dark to see anything from the surroundings, and you have The Devil Inside. It certainly is inside the CD this game is burned.

2/10
