Not much you see a horror adventure game on the PC, Nocturne is one that is worth mentioning, though it could have been made much better.

Props to Nocturne for some neat innovation. This was the first real game I ever played on the family's first computer...a Pentium 2 333Mhz. And boy, did it run like $hit.

Nocturne is in it's own class of originality, but it falls somewhat short on the large scale.

Is it scary? Yes. Does it have a good soundtrack with proper ambient sounds to send chills down your spine? Yes.

Does it have a good story with good characters? Yes

Does it have excellent graphics and scenery? Yes

Are the game-play mechanics good? No.

And now, you see where we fall short. The mechanics. I'm a huge Resident Evil fan. I can understand how new gamers would fine the mechanics of the original RE games to be "odd". But believe me, the mechanics on this game is very very odd. Something pops up and you feel like you have hardly any control of your character.

The difficulty could have been lightened up for sure.

Nocturne is definitely worth checking out if you are a horror freak. But don't expect a golden game. Expect to see good action sequences, good story, great voice acting, great graphics, but mechanics that could leave you pulling your hair out!
