got it a good while back. real good got a real silent hill vibe to it. when you see the thing for the first time it's pretty damn scarey. i got pissed off with it though because it got too dark to see anything even though i have the brightness and contrast up to the max on my monitor. if it wasnt for that id still be playing it now. one word of warning though watch the film before playing the game it will make much more sense.

I didn't like it tbh. Bit boring with the auto-aim and the endless running around.

The film is on the Sci-Fi channel at 10 tonight (Sunday)

i have too say that the further i get into THE THING , the harder it is to put down .
the game was very slow to begin with, put has picked up a lot +
thanks D-Generate , i'll watch it tonight ..

I like it so far, haven't really gotten that far and there is a lot of running around... but it does look sweet

spooky donkey · 22-09-2002 8:13pm

i have it on dvd!

The original movie is far superior to the original version.

Bought the game yesterday,
****ing Class!
Yes there is autoaiming but it is far more fun and scary'r to use the 1st person aiming.

Love the flame effects, and also the fact that u have to use both the FlameThrower/Grenades and Machine guns to kill the Larger Things.
Once you start you dont want to stop......

I'm just going spare waiting to go home and play more...
