The Thing

Post by JK-47 »

Who here has played The Thing for Xbox/PS2/PC?
I bought it a week ago, and It's pretty fun for a $4 game :] (well, I got it used and on the clearance shelf at gamestop, heh) It's like Doom and Resident Evil mixed together, and I highly suggest picking it up.

Here's some screenshots of it:

Here's some in-game screenshots.

The team AI in that game are really cool. They can get scared according to different situations, they can get sick, or they can go insane and kill you if they don't trust you enough (If you've seen the movie, you'd understand). There's times where you can pick up a survivor to be on your team, but it turns out to be a monster and transforms at one point and attacks you (It's a pain in the ass, but it's cool), you can also interact with them and tell them to do specific things.. It also has descent graphics :)

Anyways, like I said, I suggest picking it up, or at least renting it. It's really fun :)

the gameplay might be fun. I dunno. It doesn't look all that appealing to me.

I Played it For the Ps2, The game-play To me was Not really Fun, Theres only 1 Mission or a Part in a Mission That i liked, Thats when your in this base and your getting Attacked like Crazy from the Spiders, That was Cool, But for the AI, There alright when they Have the right Guns.

Saw the movie a couple years ago, and it was pretty cool. Don't really know what to think about the game. I'll pick it up if I get the chance, though.
