I
have posted up
my review
of the newly released title from Universal Interactive - "The Thing" based on
the 1982 movie by John Carpenter. Here is a snippet from the review:
Graphically “The Thing” is very good – it’s
not on the level of other FPS coming out soon such as Unreal Tournament 2003 or
perhaps even that of Max Payne a year ago (although the characters here are far
more detailed) but it does do the job of showing off the atmosphere that the movie
excelled in. There is some good use of textures in places, bumpmapping and some
pretty good lighting (again not all the time); torches shining in the dark, flares
look impressive – but sometimes your torch can look a little feeble and is fiddly
to use as you have to switch to the static first person mode to move it around
to look into different areas. If this could have been done with you staying in
3rd person mode like Silent Hill, it would have been much better.
