ActiveGaming: The Thing - Review

Time: 10:14 EST/15:14 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Byron Hinson

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.
