The Thing Reviews

The Thing Previews

"...I was sort of disappointed to find out that the game is fairly short. The overall impression was also reduced with those sound bugs and camera issues I mentioned. Still, the excellent visuals and squad-based gameplay compensate for all of that and they make The Thing a truly entertaining product."

"...the most bothersome aspect of the entire offering is the input control system. If you're willing to get frightened out of your wits, be grossed out along the way and feel like an icicle, The Thing will definitely not disappoint."

Adrenaline Vault »

"The Thing is rapidly becoming one of our most anticipated games of the year. The graphics are beautiful on all three platforms, the gameplay innovative and the John Carpenter pedigree unimpeachable. If the rest of the game can live up to the high standards of the levels that we've played our way through so far, we should be in for a treat..."

"...this is one of the best PC ported games that I’ve played, a few graphics glitches aside. Not for the squeamish, full of bodies, blood, beheadings, and disembowlings, it should probably be rated G for Gross."

Game Over »

"The Thing on its own stands as a slightly flawed, yet atmospheric and alluring action-adventure. Hardcore fans of the film, however, will have fewer complaints and appreciate the touches added by the developer who obviously cared greatly about making a worthy follow-up to Carpenter's thriller."
