Clock Tower

The Good
Scissor Man is one scary guy. in the game he will constantly pay unexpected visit to your character which would make you rattle in your boots if your in the dark home alone.

The Bad
Everything. great music, great enemy, and great cast of characters.

The Bottom Line
One of the most successful games since Resident Evil. would make a good birthday present, and Christmas present.

The Good
Almost everything. The story is fantastic, the atmosphere is scary, the villain is one of the best in gaming, the sound sets the mood perfectly, and even though they don't hold up today, the graphics looked good in 1997. Gameplay is point and click, but it's a solid fit for a horror/adventure game like this.

The Bad
The voice acting and the text-heavy sections. Somewhat slows down the game and boars me to tears.

The Bottom Line
Clock Tower is a rock-solid survival horror adventure that takes elements from slasher movies and old point and click games. Everything about the game but the dialogue heavy sequences and the poorly translated voice acting are amazing. A must have for adventure and survival horror fans.

The Good
I recently got this game in hope to try to put in some excitement into my quite boring life. After I played for just 5 minutes, I really started to realise the electricity in this live wire of a horror game.

Where do I start? The atmosphere is amazing, the killings are also amazing and the fact that we are all treated to a horrific masterpiece with tons of originality and fear is not amazing, but BRILLIANT!

Lets move on to the gameplay and skip mission 1, because not much happens here except you being introduced to quite a few of the characters (if you are playing in Jennifer's scenario).

But what we will talk about is when this game suddenly springs into action allowing you to be chased by the Scissorman himself once again. When this happens, SM (Scissor Man) jumps out at you from anywhere, he can attack you from behind your back or lunge out of a University locker very unexpectedly.

As you can probably tell from this review, the action is intense in this game. The music is very creepy and sometimes, there are even moments in clock tower where you can hear your own heart beating rapidly!

The Bad
Every game does have at least one flaw, and that bares no exception to Clock tower. Sometimes the game can be very unfair to you, for example: when you try running away from SM and you enter a new room, he appears right in front of you!

Plus, why is he called the Scissor"man", isn't he supposed to a kid (spoiler)? Well, that's pretty much all of the "bad" of this game.

The Bottom Line
Despite the tiny flaws mentioned in the last paragraph, Clock tower is still one of my favourite survival horror games I own. If you own a playstation and if you enjoy classical scary games, get it. I guarantee that you'll be creeped out of your own mind when you see the Scissorman decapitate his victims.
