When i played this game i though that it was stupet but when i had leard what to do then i had started to enjoy it the game is hard and you have to figure out what to do and how to do it the game is just like a puzzle so that makes it more difficult to play the game.

clever and enjoyable!

Heart of Darkness is simply one of the most marvelous pieces created for the playstation. Amazing videos, creative Puzzles, and simple controls. Challenging levels that appeal to adults and cute cartoon characters suitable for the kids. The only con to this game is that the most intense portion of the game comes and goes too early left with methodical/strategic gameplay. Simply put, this is a must buy for those looking for a classic.

I rented this game once, thinking it might be a cool rpg/ puzzle solving. Boy- Was I wrong. This game is very boring, and has no real point. It is extremely hard to maneuver your character without a demon jumping on your back, or your character falling to his death. I gave up after the first level. Whatever you do...DO NOT buy this game.

Awful

i dont see what the awsomeness was in this game that the other reviewers did, but i think it was awful. i liked the opening scene, it was cute, but rite when i started playing it, im like, dude! this is horrible! it is like, impossiible to get those annoying little demons off of your character, and i agree with that other reviewer that if you make one wrong step, your dead and have to start again. its awful, i highly advize against buying this game before renting it.

A little scary for the younger crowd

I would have to agree with the other reviewer. It is not a game for kids under 10... I purchased it for my 7-8 yr olds and they freaked out as the first scene played out. The controls have to be tight, and whatever you do don't make a mistake. After trying it out myself, I kind of felt like throwing the controller down. One misstep and I had to start over. Oh well. Maybe the 10 yr olds have a better chance than I do!

One of the coolest ps1 games

The designers of Out of this World and Flashback, two of my favorite games back when I still actively used my Amiga computer, created Heart of Darkness. Sporting similar gameplay - and in the case of Out of this World, a similar short game length - fans of either of the previous games mentioned above should be right at home.

The computer graphic cut scenes are the best for the Playstation yet, in terms of image quality and in actual animation. While the cut scenes in Final Fantasy 7 and Tekken 3 are very good, pay attention to the lighting and the range of movement of the characters in Heart of Darkness. The style is a cross between classic Warner Bros and Jim Henson's the Dark Crystal, and I feel it surpasses even the first Toy Story. Getting back to the game, I have been waiting for a game with the animation quality of Dragon's Lair to have somewhat complicated game mechanics. Older games such as Earthworm Jim and Rayman began to approach this goal, and I feel Heart of Darkness is the closest yet. In terms of gameplay, be prepared for trial and error as you progress from screen to screen.

This may frustrate some, but it is rarely repetitive and I feel it is worth it to get immersed in both the story and the world the designers created.

BRILLIANT!

This game is perfect for 8 to 15 year olds in my opinion. This is like METAL GEAR because of the story, cutcenes and memorable characters.
This game won't be hard for people who are very good at action games because I completed it in 5 to 7 days(I was 11 in 2001).

Why haven't they made a sequal?

PLAY IT ALL DAY LONG!!!

It took years for this game to be pushed down my list of all time favorite games. If your looking for a hard game, a brain game, an action game, a science fiction game, a fun game, but not a frusterating game, then you have to buy this one. I beat it in a couple of days, but to this day (years later) I can still remember it and still feel the want of playing it again. I envy those playing this game for the first time. It is a trully unique game that combines the best of "Earthworm Jim", "The Oddworld Series" and even "Lost Vikings" into a wonderful imaginative game.
