Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was really excited to buy this game and then when I spent my Best Buy gift card on it... I was disappointed. However! I'm only at the very beginning of the game, so I'll leave much room for doubt, as I would prefer for it to rock my socks off.

I bought this game because of the hype, but I've yet to come across something that has made me jump. The graphics are good for the PS3, but the controls are clunky. I recommend this game, but not on the PS3. I would get it on the PS4 if you can.

Has the same suspense as Dead Space and The Last of Us

definitely not for younger children it's very graphic

This is one of the best works of Shinji Mikami yet.

Awesome game and very jumpy. Totally worth the $ 4

Good game but frustrating at times because it seems like I die a lot. When you die, you obviously have to do things over again. I guess that's the real Evil Within.

Tried playing this game and it was not for me a bit too creepy and gross for me. If you like that type of thing this game is for you.

Scary Game but not so happy with the gameplay. A lot off running and hiding when I'd like to fight and defend.

I just started playing but it's kind of creepy. Should be good as long as it isn't a quick game.

Not my type of game, enthralling but not for me so yeah

game starts great but the story gets boring as you play

wouldn't work on PS3 - wouldn't download on machine

With this game, Shinji Mikami brings us back to the roots of horror in gaming and proves, once again, why he is the master of horror gaming. This game is amazing. The images and videos are beautiful and the game play is great. Very easy to get into and play. The story is great as well. I definitely recommend this game to anyone looking for a great horror game to play.

Although the game takes a ton of memory to download before you can play it is very much worth it! Not a simple game but fun for those of you that remember the older resident evil games.:-)

Picked it up on sale, very spooky, good story, looks great!

First off i should say, at this point in time forget next gen, PS3 AND 360 are really still showing they have some good life in them after all. So PS4, and Xbox One have a few more polygons, textures, details etc (whoopi). This game is great, but I... like many people at first didn't feel that way initially. I actually had some trepidation at first about the small download size on PSN, and pretty much thought the game would just look and play horribly. I'm glad that I was wrong. It's no mystery how the game starts unless you've been living in a cave since last year, and haven't seen a single gameplay video. But actually playing it instead of seeing it played is another story. Would I say this is "as" exciting as the first time I played RE4, well in some ways yes, and some no. The game definitely has all the feel of the RE series and the atmosphere, tension and graphics are all top notch. Speaking of graphics, I can't believe that a 6.6gig file can put out details like they did with this. I usually go for 3rd party titles on 360 or my gaming PC, but decided to give it a go since I already had 20bucks on PSNm and it was only 53.99 for PS Plus Members. To my great surprise the graphics are staggering, very little jagged edges, VERY good attention to detail, VERY few washed out areas, or glitches. Just an occasional clip now and then. As for gameplay, while the Dualshock PS controller has never been my favorite (I favor 360), it does have a good solid feel when moving, and using both analog sticks to aim, look around etc. So I was again, pleasantly surprised. Although that is the only reason for "technically" a 4.5 rating. I still just don't really "like" the controller, but hey it works. There is really no need to go into the story line, other than demonic forces overpowering the weak (most know this), and dominating the earth. So the story is nothing special. What is special is the "survival horror" aspects of the game, you really ARE fighting to stay alive, and you don't feel macho, or like you over power any of your enemies. You feel like you either need to hide from them, sneak up on them , go around, or face them head on. And all of these qualities work with TEW. I actually do like the stealth of sneaking up on a zombie/demon and stabbing them in the head with a knife. And burning the body (if you choose) is also a new interesting feature I have not seen in games. So I'm just heading into chapter 3, but felt so good about the game as a whole I don't need to finish it, to know I'm going to have a blast going through all 24 levels or so. However many there are. I just know reviewers have said it's 20+ hours. So that works for me, and I'll be working on it for a while. So good controls (even though I prefer the other), GREAT graphics for last gen, steady gameplay, good pacing, and great atmosphere make The Evil Within a winner in my game library. I also must mention I got it for PC to see how much hype there is behind the great graphics, and if they could get a LOT better. My conclusion is, not really. I mean yes the PC is vastly superior, but the controls for these 3rd person types of games, aren't really best suited for PC. Also there aren't that many "tweaks" to adjust graphical setting on the PC version. And all the consoles, and PC are locked at 30 frames per second. Which I could care less, as long as the game is good. So yes PC does look stunning and it's some of the best graphics I've seen to date, even though it doesn't demand a really "high end" graphics card. Don't be mislead by the specs posted on various sites, if you do want the PC version. But I really like this on console, and my 55 inch Samsung LED. And with PS4 and Xbone, I'm sure it looks better, but nothing jaw dropping I'm sure. That won't happen for a while, which is why I haven't made the jump yet. So get this for 360 or PS3, you definitely will NOT be disappointed. I know if I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet tomorrow morning I wouldn't/couldn't be more surprised than I am right now (courtesy of Chevy Chase). So back to the game, enjoy!!. Later

Nice game from Shinji Mikami, guy from first three Resident Evil games. It's a bit of a mix between RE 4 and Silent Hill, it's got the creepiness factor but not as scary as one would think. Never felt the need to turn of the game from being to scared. It is still a good game though and overall I would say between a 7.5 to an 8 out 10. Story seems a bit lacking and confusing at times. Great buy if you can find it on sale. Otherwise I'd wait for a price drop.

I recommend this to all resident evil fans. If you have a ps4, that version is far superior

Great game. Amazing graphics and very scary game!!
