About this product

Product Information

As Silicon Knights' first effort on the Nintendo 64, Eternal Darkness looks to overthrow the reigning champion of the survival horror arena, the venerable and beloved Resident Evil series. Eternal Darkness shows a number of similarities to the brainchild of Capcom: it is a third-person horror game, with a dark, mature plot. As with Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness is a violent, gore-filled splatter fest. Despite the similarities, Silicon Knights hopes to offer a unique view of the survival horror genre.<br><br>The storyline of Eternal Darkness is complex. It seems that before the coming of man, a race of superior beings ruled the earth. This new race was not constrained by the human ideas of morality and decency. With the rise of mankind, the ancient race was driven into the bowels of the earth. It now seems the time of their return is at hand. <br><br>The Ancients, as the former rulers are called, have been dormant since the arrival of man. Nevertheless, a number of human followers have sworn to the rebirth of the Ancients. Known as Secret Societies, these human pawns are hell-bent on gaining power through the rise of the Ancients. They have existed for years, planning the resurrection of the elder race. <br><br>In the game, the player will control over 12 different characters. These men and women hail from a number of different timelines, spanning a 2000-year-long period. For instance, at one point you will take control of a medieval knight, fighting the hordes of darkness with a number of old-style weapons. Another character is reported to be from the future, and in possession of a number of highly powerful instruments of destruction. Throughout the game, the main character will continue to change, culminating in the final battle against the Ancients<br><br>In terms of gameplay, the most unique feature of Eternal Darkness is the Insanity Meter, which is a bar that measures the mental capability of your character. As the situation gets more tense and illogical, the meter will increase, spawning a number of undetermined side effects. There will be a way to combat the rise of this Insanity Meter, which has yet to be revealed.<br><br>As with the majority of survival-horror games, Eternal Darkness is a one-player adventure. The game also utilizes the optional Expansion Pak accessory for high-resolution graphics.

  • Must Play GameCube Hidden Gem

    This game is an important piece of video game history. It’s one of the first horror games to scare the player through sanity effects instead of relying on a sense of uneasiness and jump scares. Some of the sanity effects are dated considering that the age of CRT televisions ended years ago, but I think it adds a certain charm to it. This game truly was Nintendo breaking new ground for themselves since this was the first M-rated game they themselves published. Without this game we wouldn’t have games like Amnesia The Dark Descent.

  • Solid Gamecube Classic

    For those into obscure Nintendo history, I highly recommend checking this one out! It plays like classic Resident Evil but with a Lovecraftian Horror and Historical twist making this a black sheep for both the Gamecube library and Nintendo’s own library. The sanity effects make the game far more entertaining than most horror games.

  • Glad to play one of my favorite games of...

    Glad to play one of my favorite games of all time. Disc and case is in perfect condition, great quality, the spine of the manual is a little damaged but that's to be expected with a 23 yr old game.

  • Must Owned Gamecube Game

    This is a very fun game of the 6th gen. Good mix of horror, action, compelling story and atmosphere. The hallucinations can be pretty fun/bizarre at times wich add to the charm. Its a must own of the Game Cube if you have that console.

  • Eternal Darkness Worth It!

    Great game!! One of my all time faves. It's just highly priced cause there aren't very many. However, after receiving the game, it was totally worth it!
