Rule of Rose

[psychooralien]

It’s a shame that there’s so much wrong with the game’s combat system – to the point of being game breaking - because, otherwise, Rule of Rose is a fascinating, compelling adult-orientated mystery horror. Its presentation is frequently stunning and the imagination and maturity with which it approaches its subject matter could – in the right hands – have made for an unforgettable experience. As it is, it’s tough to recommend Rule of Rose to anyone but diehard survival horror fans or complete masochists. If you happen to fall into the former category, there’s a chance you might well find the game’s charms enough to see you through to the end – its story is certainly both intriguing and ultimately powerful enough to warrant a play. Everyone else though would probably be best off looking elsewhere. One more point on that controversy thing though – Jennifer regains her health by stuffing scones, biscuits and lollipops down her gob. If that’s not an irresponsible message to send to the children, then we don’t know what is.

I played Rule of Rose. I agree there is a lot wrong. I couldn't even get past the first boss. I got angry with it and quit. The character moves too slow and has low health.. plus the dog gets in the way and there are too many enemy's.I also hated the fact that you were sent to one side of an area then sent straight to the other. I to was too confined and hard to see and find things.
I haven't played many other horror based games I have heard the Silent Hill games are good.

If anybody has any suggestions let me know. I have a X-box and a Wii. My pc is not capable of playing any newer games..but im always interested in the older stuff too.
