    Could have been a potential success.

    This game was nothing special. For its time there were definitely better titles from which to choose than this (hope I don't offend anyone)piece of crap. The game itself had some positive points, in particular the 'why s... Read Full Review

    Wicked Sexy Thing!

    I love my horror games, so I'm very demanding when It comes to being critical over minor details. Being a big fan of the movie I was eager to enjoy this adaption, and thankfully it's been pulled off beautifully. The ga... Read Full Review

    This complete slap in the face made me wish I didn't lose my receipt.

    Lets get one thing straight. I love The THING. Specifically I love the movie: The THING. For a grade B sci-fi horror it is wonderful. It has tension, it has gore, it has character development, it has immersion, it has su... Read Full Review

    Surprisingly Fantastic. Great game to play in the dark :]

    When you first pick up any game, you may turn it over and read the back, glance at the rating, the pictures (to determine the graphics of course), maybe even take out the instruction booklet and read it. but nothing does... Read Full Review

    Awsome! Love the film?, Love the game!! Best ever movie to game adaptation

    I highly recommend watching John Carpenters 1982 film The Thing before playing this game. The story of the game follows 3 months after the events of the film with a U.S operations unit lead by Blake (you) and commanded b... Read Full Review

    Good game, bad ending for me.

    The Thing is a fun game, nice graphics and a nice story. The limited amount of ammunition made it a challenge to complete missions and the annoying checkpoint system made you play several sequences over and over again, ... Read Full Review

    A great game based on a great movie.

    I must admit, when I first heard that John Carpenter's classic, The Thing, had a video game, I wasn't very excited. There aren't to many good games based on movies out there, and I sure didn't expect that The Thing would... Read Full Review

    An average shooter that delivers nothing to the genre

    The Thing was one of those horror titles you seldom hear about, and for a good reason. Being a horror aficionado, this game was on my wanted list for a very long time. After picking up a used copy for 5 bucks, I couldn't... Read Full Review

    Fun if you watched the movie, pretty boring if you haven't

    Although my Review deck pretty much sums it up let me go into detail here. Graphics- Not bad considering how old it is. The lighting is still very top notch stuff. Although a face lift wouldn't hurt Audio-Very atmosph... Read Full Review
