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.

Satisfaction level is high if you can do it.

This game can try your patience. If you are good at playing older Mario games, then you will have more than half a chance to beat this game. I found it very hard to say the least. In some levels especially toward the end, I would try a level for a couple of hours and when I would advance, I would quit, and try some weeks later when I mentally wasn't spent. I could not forget about it; every time I beat a level I would think "maybe I could do the next one." I could not beat the boss at the end and had to be satisfied with that. Almost at the end of the game, I found a cheat, it is the first time I have used cheating and it helped me mentally to keep trying, and to see the ending. I wouldn't use this until you really, really need it, because it would ruin the satisfaction level for you. To see ALL Cinemas and Levels * with the game off hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 *on controller 2 * (you must be in the second controller slot) Keep holding those buttons and access the options screen, then the tree house, then load game. You can save and keep your progress after using this.
For all the frustration, I had, I still can say I had a great time playing it.

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.

As good as METAL GEAR

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?

One of the coolest ps1 games

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.

Fantastic, Fun game!

Heart of Darkness has great cut scenes and good graphics overall. Addictive, challenging game play (be sure to save) with an appealing story line. My eight year old loves it too and plays for hours. The puzzles are not too hard but for me required some work. Personally, one of the better games I've played.

Highly addictive, highly entertaining, doesn't get better!!

...I got to try it out at my friend's house and we were ALL entertained.
The animation is excellent (I'm in school to be one, I know these things), the storyline great, and the action nonstop. My friends love to watch me play, and we pretty much react as if we're watching a movie. ("No! Don't go there! AAAAGHHH!")
The game says it's rated "Everyone", but I'd keep it away from kiddies younger than 10 or so. While you have infinate lives and no health meter, the deaths are pretty gruesome, even without blood (demons snapping kid's back, other demons kill and actually start EATING the kid are among the many demises).
This game will keep you entertained for hours. I'm glad I found the game cheap, but this game is WORTH the full price, unlike many other games currently being sold.

BRILLIANT!

I'm pretty selective with my games, so I did a lot of research before trying the game, the graphics and sheer playability of this game were well thought of. I'm a huge fan of high graphic games. This game did not fall short at all!

The control is a bit off, and when the cinematics play, I find the voice over a little too quiet for my hearing; kind of frustrating if you want to get every detail of the story.

However, cinematic play is pretty smooth, and the background and characters have tremendous detail put into them. (I'm amazed at the detail that was put into the heros hands when he's rock climbing.)

Frustratingly, the enemies in this game pile on in overwelming proportions, within first five minutes of gameplay, so you better be quick to fire; IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE to get past them, just keep faith and persistence it doesn't take much to die in this game, but you also have unlimited lives as well, so theres never a gameover, until you put the game down. In every few screens you'll reach a save point. (memory card compatible too)

The puzzles in this game are not extremely difficult nor are they boringly simple, I would not reccomend this to anyone under 10 or someone with little patience or perserverence. It does take some actual problem solving.
The things that jump out of this game will keep you on the edge of your seat, and the storyline is pretty entertaining, with humorous parts in it, no matter what your age, if you want a game full of spooky eyecandy, and wholesome entertainment, that will keep you playing for hours, this is definently your game!
