Undying

I love the way that this game can make you literally jump out of your seat while you are playing it. The way that the screen jumps and flashes when you get hit, its very realistic while at the same time you have to remember that its just a game and your not really there. The sound effects and audio are amazing. There are a lot of weapons and different spells to cast and you can even choose which spells to make stronger or not. You get this stone that can knock back enemies while you recover mana to blast your foes with even more magic. The best part is that the whole time you are playing it you are really jumpy and afraid of what might lurk around the next corner or what might jump out behind you. If you want to get the full experience, try playing it with head phones on.

This is one of my all-time favorite games. The gorgeous graphics, frightening creatures, and incredible action make this game a must-have for any horror-game buffs. Clive Barker has brought a masterpiece to the gaming industry.

I've never really seen much of Clive Barkers work (except for Candyman[Seen] and Hellraiser[Heard of it and seen #4]), but after playing Undying.... WHOA!!! It's like a horror movie, only though you're right in the center of the action! The storyline is excellent (so far - I've only play small bit of the game). Undying is one of the most addictive games I've played, especially being an FPS. You can easily get a frequent adrenaline rush (the kind where you can easily jump out of your skin) with thrills and spills that this game throws at you. Clive Barker's Undying is one of the best games I've ever played and I'd recommend it for people enjoy Horror movies and FPS games, it is one hell of a Thrill-Ride!

Undying's storyline would make an excellent movie!

Undying is a very good game which brings some new elements on the tired genre of first person shoot em ups. It tells the story of Patrick Galloway an expert of the occult and a formidable fighter who is summoned by a friend to his estate in Ireland to investigate some weird phainomena. The game is set in Ireland after World War one so don't expect to find weapons like chainguns or rocket launchers.All the weapons in the game can be considered antiques but the real fun in the game are its spells and the system they operate on.Our hero is ambidexterous so he can use both his hands at the same time: he casts spells with his right arm and uses his guns with the left.So you can shoot and cast spells at the same time which as you understand very fun and also unique to this game! The graphics are great and they can run very well on a medium power P.C..Level design is also cool and atmospheric. Mostly the game revolves around the Covenant estate and the mansion but there are many other locations waiting to be discovered as you progress. Thanks to the talent of Clyve Barker the game has an excelent storyline and plot (something very rare for a First person shooter) and i said before a great and very spooky atmosphere the voice acting is also good but not excellent. But the game has two main flaws. First of all it is quite linear so when your mission says for example go to that room all the doors in the house will be locked apart from those that lead to the room of your mission this may save time but it restricts your liberty of exploration.Secondly the fact all the weapons are antiques may not appeal to most fps players who are used to high tech weaponry. As far as difficulty is concerned the game is very well balanced. Most of it is of medium difficulty but sometimes it gets more difficult but not frustratingly difficult. Overall undying is a great game. Definitely one of the best fps out there.

When a friend of mine told me of this game I was curious, but when I started playing it, I was blown away!

Having played FPS's since Wolfenstein 3d, I'm rather picky with what I install anymore. The Doom series was very good (looking forward to Doom 3), Quake 1 kicked some major A** and I love Blood and Blood2: the Chosen.

Undying though is something new. More than just a FPS or a horror/adv. game (a la alone in the dark) it mixes both superbly. If you like any of the above mentioned games, then this is a must!

Hint: play with a horror-sensitive person sitting next to you. I was creeped out by the magnificent ambience and settings already, but with my wife screaming and grabbing my mouse-arm, it became an experience to remember!
