Underrated or overrated: Eternal Darkness
So what do you think about Eternal Darkness??
Why didn't the game sell?? It got rave reviews, yet some people think it disapointed.
I haven't played the game yet.  I bought it a few weeks ago when it was just $20, but I want to play TWW first. After that, I'll play Eternal Darkness... 
So what do YOU think? Overrated or underrated???

One of the best games I have ever played. Playability does get a bit repetitive but that's 100% outweighed by the amazing way the simple, yet slightly complex plotted out story unfolds before your very eyes.

Well, if it got rave reviews, it deserved them, so it wasnt underrated in that sense. But in sales, it should have gotten more, Im sure it would have with better advertising.

I say overrated. The game was awesome in terms of graphics, atmosphere, gameplay, etc... but for some reasons that I can't quite put my finger on, I just couldn't get into the story/plot at all. I will have to give it another try tough.

Way underrated. I got it at Christmas but I enjoyed it very much, if not more than what else I got. I think it's one of those must-plays this generation, like Shenmue. Just, brilliant. The sanity effects were awesome.

How is it underrated when basically every review said exactly what you just said?  |

Yesterday when I went to EB, they had a bargain "bin" of games under $20. I saw ED in their and I had to get it. So I did. I never beat the game when I rented it back when it was released, so Im getting there. And with my new AR, it makes it better for me

Yeah you have to actually understand the story to get into it.

Didn't Eternal Darkness get like a 9.6-9.7 from IGN? In that case, how could it possibly be 'way underrated?'
