I'm afraid that I won't like this game, does the gameplay suck? I hear it's like one of those "click and move" Nancy Drew type things (no offense).

That's fine if you don't like the game. However, there are parts where you get to explore and actually shoot or use whatever weapon you have handy, which I thought was exciting. There are also quick time events that greatly affect the story, so if you do plan on getting the game, think twice about your choices, because it may or may not end up killing off or distancing 'you' as the player from certain characters.

Right it is a move and click game which might not be for everyone. I enjoyed it and the game has a great story, which you are the creator of episode to episode.

I am not very far into it yet, but it seems fun so far. Not sure about click and move...you have options and the options include moving from place to place.

The thing with this game is that, as an open world game, you pretty much dictate what to do. If you follow the story you will be given specific missions and cutscenes are expected, but if you dont you can pretty much create the mayhem you want and be chased by the police. Besides it, there is a mode to use a giant mechanical spider...pretty cool. It is not by any means an alternative to GTA or Saints Row as it is not as polished and structured as those ones. but its pretty fun.

Yes, I like it. It is a lot quicker than Arkham, and has the same feel, but with more dice rolling. It is a Co-op game too. With 2 people, you could each take 2 investigators and have fun. Another good horror game is Betryal at House on the Hill (but not great with two people). Check out Table top with Wil Wheaton - he covers both of these.

It is difficult. It took my son (10) and I about 3 hours to figure out the whole game. We have also changed a few rules for faster play. That said, this game is amazing, and it feels like you are in an episode of the show. I hope you like it.

Yes. It is a great game. Try you will love it. It is easy and a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy as much as I have for many years.

The learning curve is quite steep. I recommend thoroughly reading the instructions before playing and also suggest watching playthroughs and reviews on youtube (it helped me quite a bit). You do have to read cards throughout gameplay as well as refer to the rules quite a bit but don't let that deter you. The game is very enjoyable and once you read the rules, set up the game, and play through the first game they set up in the rulebook, it's pretty easy to catch on. The first setup might seem like a bear but it's worth it.

Yes, It's said to be a very watered-down version of Arkham Horror. It is like "Monster Yatzee", if that makes any sense. Cooperative aspects are there, but you still have to fend for yourself individually. At times it will feel like a horror-themed old school RPG video game. You will cheer at making the "clutch" (completing the required task on the last dice rolls). The only drawback in my opinion is the small components. Otherwise, great intro game.

The violence is on par with the rest of the series. You do fight things though. As for blood I don't recall ever seeing any. It's cartoonish violence not realism. I let my 9 year olds play. It's more strategy and quests type game than a violent game. Check out some YouTube clips to see what you think. Personally, I'd let a 6 year old play if they wanted to.

Yes. which I find a big pain in the pratt, plus it really didn't have very different or exciting (interesting) games. I would not recommend this.Paula

Definitely. This is the first game of this type I have played. Even being easily confused by game rules in general, I found this to be a breeze to pick up. It's really fun as well.

Hi! It's not a "heavy" game, but lots of fun. I played it with teens this summer and with my brother and sister-in-law later in August. You have to keep your eyes open for openings and, with humorous folk, it can make for an enjoyable time. Just enough playing time that it doesn't get boring.

The game looks amazing....the story line is short and its the actions are limited and repetitive. It would be a lot cooler if you could venture off into the world but you can't.

No. It's boring and annoying. What could have been a fun and immersive experience is bogged down by necessary game scenarios (hit three switches) and after the monster finds you and kills you a few times, the game turns from scary to annoying and frustrating. The fact that you have no weapons to fend yourself off makes things scary at first, but eventually becomes just lame because only being able to run pads out the game since you have to retrace your steps again once a chase is over. It wasn't fun at all and I never finished it.

I honestly don't know. Its my 14 year old nephew's favorite game and I was the best aunt for finding it for him. I've never played though.

Honestly its not scary. I guess it could be a little scary reading the descriptions of the cards. (there are 'scary' events that happen and there are slight descriptions) Maybe the scenarios could be a little scary, again it would be the descriptions like vampires, zombies, ect. This is just from my prespective, and Im 20. Amazing game though.

Is playing trumps violent? You know, because the King beats the Jack etc.In all seriousness this game is not only competitive but also involves treachery and betrayal.Lying and deception are built into the game and add to the fun & involvement for many players - same for Bang! and Battlestar Galactica.Still worried about the 'violence'?

I would let my kid, but ultimately its up to you. Plenty of violence, however. nothing is graphic (blood etc). Nothing sexual at all (there is minor romance plots, but nothing outside that). It's a great game.
