Still, everything isn’t gloomy in Central Park! Humanz can only be taken down with fire, meaning that bullets will only distract them. Oh, and the Humanz can jump on the car’s roof if you’re not driving fast enough, too. Strangely enough, coming from the developers of V-Rally, the frequent driving parts are horrible, as the car will usually get stuck on every bit of small rubble and the bumps created by the earthquakes. Still Eden Games clearly missed the call and moving around Central Park is downright painful. Fortunately, a first person view is available to offer much more precision during the shooting sequences. The game also sometimes forgets the existence of analog sticks, requiring an additional button press to run. While the game should feel like Mikami’s cult classic, it doesn’t: The camera is awkward and often much too close, and Carnby possesses the inertia of a lorry. The gameplay has been redesigned from scratch, abandoning the classic survival-horror approach for a much more flexible over-the-shoulder view a la Resident Evil 4. Kudos also go to the completely rushed and forgettable ending. The secondary characters don’t have a shred of personality, either. Carnby, voiced by James McAffrey alias Max Payne, talks at best like a sociopath, swearing all the time for no apparent reason. The story never ceases to amaze in its stupidity. The protagonist’s origin story is once again rewritten, and all of a sudden it’s supposed to be the same Edward Carnby from the 1920s again, who has been kept young throughout a century through esoteric means. He really needs all his wits to find out the mystery dwelling under Central Park, and the key to his amnesia.Īs far as screenplay quality is concerned, one might say by this point that the series is cursed. In addition to the mutated people and animals, strange fissures race through the city as if they were alive, and if Carnby gets caught up in them, he’s in real trouble. That’s not a joke, they’re really called that. After a spectacular escape, Carnby quickly ends up locked in Central Park, chased by mysterious earthquakes and possessed creatures called Humanz. Soon the building starts to collapse, and a demon appears who seems to be behind the catastrophe.
His only friends are the old man Paddington, who knows something about his past, and an art dealer called Sarah Flores. He wakes up in a Manhattan building, beaten to a pulp and threatened to be killed by mysterious guys in trench coats. This allows you to save your game without wasting a Charm Of Saving.In an early build, Carnby was supposed to look like this.Īt the beginning of the game, Edward Carnby is afflicted with the most common video game disease: Amnesia.
