Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare is the fourth installment of the survival horror video game series Alone in the Dark, developed by Darkworks and published by mh:crappygames:Infogrames.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Play as two characters: Edward Carnby, descendant of the protagonist of the previous games, and a new female character, Aline Cedrac, each with their own story and stages.
 * 2) Edward's campaign focuses more on action, while Aline's focuses more on puzzles.
 * 3) Genuine jumpscares and terrifying environments.
 * 4) Chilling soundtrack.
 * 5) Very detailed graphics and cutscenes.
 * 6) Special dark creatures can only be defeated with the new light-producing "magnesium bullets" and "phosphorus shells."
 * 7) Special ammo is very rare, so it must be used sparingly.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Very low replay value.
 * 2) The most powerful weapon, the Photoelectric Pulsar, is incredibly useless as it takes a long time to charge and has very poor aiming.

Reception
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare was well received. The PlayStation version received a score of 77, the Dreamcast Version a 75, and a lower score for the Windows version at 66 from Metacritic. The Game Boy Color version wasn't as well received as the others, having a rating of 2.67 on GameFAQs, but it's been praised for its impressive graphics.

It is considered by many to be the best game in the series.
