Play Magazine – 75/100
So if you’re looking for some bone-chilling survival horror that’s a horse of a different color, tuition is only $29.99.

IGN – 70/100
A surprisingly good game for about thirty bucks. It’s generally worth it for some fun co-op, great atmosphere and really beautiful music.

Nintendo Power – 70/100
So, sure, Obscure: The Aftermath doesn’t exactly succeed as a horror game, but it is fun, with some good usage of the Wii remote.

Electronic Gaming Monthly – 30/100
The most frightening thing about this experience is how filled with hatred and rage I get when I find myself stuck in the environment or when the camera swings into “s*** view” for the billionth time.

Game Informer – 30/100
Laughably bad dialogue combines with broken combat and tedious gameplay to create one of the worst games in years. Choose the Wii version, and you’re in for a special form of torture, as your camera wildly wheels about and an added layer of stupidity is included while aiming a weapon.

  • Mack2D2,

    I totally agree.

    As far as Nintendo games go, I have a weird feeling that we'll hear about a Kid Icarus game coming this year and an announcement at the end of this year about a new Zelda game for 2009.
  • Props to EGM and Game Informer for keepin it real, and honest... this game looks like a flop and a half. Quit it with the lame ports already! Minus Nintendo's own franchises, and the very spaced out original releases such as Zack & Wiki and No More Heroes... is the only really original content we can expect going to be on WiiWare??
