The Thing review

Xbox World Australia
10 May 2004
  • Conclusion: The Thing is over two years old now and stands up fairly well next to a lot of today's titles in the graphics and sound stakes.
  • Pros: budget price, lots of throwbacks to the film, fun third-person shooter
  • Cons: flawed trust and fear system, military conspiracy (yawn) storyline, too much action, not enough suspense or scares

  • Pros: Good graphics, Good dialogue, Great atmosphere
  • Cons: Sound bugs, Too much action

  • Pros: rien de révolutionnaire, quelques ralentissements
  • Cons: ambiance prenante, gestion de l'équipe
