Call of Cthulhu by Susan Trudell (Iowa)  5 Stars
May 27, 2009
A great underlying story. Even though this is an older game - it retains the characters and settings that make these games fun to play

i've played better, i've played worse by B. Forman (Pawtucket, RI USA)  3 Stars
May 23, 2009
i'm a huge lovecraft fan, so when i first played this i was pretty excited. unfortunately, this isn't very scary as it is annoying hard at some points. not in a fun way either, but in a have to play it again and again and again cause you keep making a stupid mistake cause it's not that well made of a game. the controls are alright, but the maps are pretty much garbage, and the worst part of this game is that guys you've killed just regenerate when you go further into the level, which means if you have to go back you've got to kill them again. sometimes that's alright...like in donkey kong country, not something like this.

I am Not A Fan Of 1st Person players by Aaron Jason Cumbie  2 Stars
May 21, 2009
So far, that i am into it. I do not like the fact that it is 1st person. I find it very annoying. But the effects are creepy, and cool. Love the vibrations. Storyline is cool, and mysterious. But overall disappointed by 1st person character player.

All that's going for this game is its Lovecraft roots. by MrBlindPenguin (Okinawa, Japan) 3 Stars
November 16, 2007
I saw an ad for this game in an old issue of Game Informer. They advertised First Person action, insanity meter, and of course Cthulhu. I was thinking Doom when I read First Person, Eternal Darkness when I read insanity meter, and "Thank the gods, they finally made a H.P. Lovecraft game!" when I saw the title. All right, turns out to be 2 strikes and one ball. The first person action, well there really isn't any. You spend most of your time running away from creepy villagers, and not in the fun way like in RE4. The insanity meter is pretty bad, no mind-blowing hallucinations like in Eternal Darkness, just a bunch of pounding and blurred vision. Their concept of going insane is my idea of a DWI stop. You really can't screw up the story of Cthulhu, so that bit was all right but done very sloppy. It was as if they had to change the storyline to make the game play better, but really they ruined up the only thing they had going from the start. The details are great and I have spoken with others who absolutely adore the game. A warning to those who aren't into H.P. Lovecraft, you will most likely hate this title. Imagine playing through Silent Hill without getting your first weapon until you're in the hospital. Sounds hard right, yeah well this game is ridiculous when it comes to survival.
