The Thing (PS2) REF MAP 451

Based on the famous John Carpenter sci fi film this game has a lot to live up to. Traditionally games based on movies are of a poor standard and do not spend a lot of time in production. This is due to the myth that people will buy the games simply because they enjoyed watching the film,the thing however is an exception.
You play Blake the man enlisted with the task of investigating the what has happened, initially at the American base featured in the movie. The game is laid out in level format and features many other locations some from the film and some that have been invented. The graphics on this game are at times breathtaking especially the cool snow effects and design of the interiors. The aliens that you meet are some of the best I have witnessed in a computer game with superb artifical intelligence. The best thing about this game though has to be controlling your team ensuring that they trust you, are not to frightened and of destroying them when finally they change into the thing.
