This game is like a diomand in the ruff....it has a lot of good things about the game, like absolutely NO load screens. which i really liked. the graphics were pretty nice for a last gen console, i really liked the facial animations for our female protagonist: Fiona. The atmosphere and characters are great, they definitely make the game a survival horror platform. there are four main crazies you try to avoid in the game, retarded shrek, hot psycho maid, crazy cloned dad, and an old creepy alchemist. all of which were much loved characters that i had fun with.... however, there are some bad things in this game that make it quite frustrating. first, your dog that you befriend hardly does what you want him to do when it counts, secondly Fiona is the epitome of sexist protrayl for woman, this chick cant defend herself worth a crap, panics too much, and runs out of energy too quickly. she can run fast, but after getting hurt a bit, she's a snail. another thing is that some parts of the game are a little annoying as their are many ways to get confused at what your supposed to be doing. this game could have been great, if they would have equipped Fional with a combat system, she can kick (like a stereotypical girl, so it doesnt help ever) and she can shove, which doesnt do any damage and just leaves her standing still catching her breath while the bad guy beats up on her.... this game is good, its just frustrating bcuz they didnt work on some of the main parts that make a game successful.....i will say this, that no other survival horror game will make you feel as helpless as Fiona in The Haunting Ground. if you have some spair change and some patience than i'd recommend this game. its about a 10 hour game, so it should keep you occupied for a bit.

This game is a true survival-horror. It is so creepy. I mean you wake up in a weird castle and you are locked up in a cage. Throughout the game you will be playing as Fiona Belli a 18 year-old girl. Later on Fiona will find Hewie a white german shepherd. Well Hewie is there to protect you from the stalkers who are after Fiona for very different reasons. Also the gameplay is great. While running for a length of time Fiona starts to slow down because she is tired. I think that makes Fiona more human like.The music gives the game a creepy atmosphere. The only down fall for the sound is that Hewie's barking sounds fake. For 2005 the graphics are good for this game. This game is pretty challenging and super fun the first run. Overall This game is a great game. If you like survival horrors then you are going to enjoy this game.

youre playing a girl named fiona with a dog companion which you can teach commands too and is also trapped in a castle . for some reason all the people in the castle are crazy and want to kill her. so running away from your enemies can be hard. the graphics were good.characters were designed good. the bosses werent too hard to defeat. the game does lose its scariness after a while but is still enjoyable. it is a game where youre running around trying to find keys to doors and such there are frequent puzzles to solve. does somewhat feel like a clock tower game but you get a doggie named hewie which is super sweet. you should try to keep from getting into panic mode because she can be hard to control and since youre dog doesnt always want to listen to you you can die fairly easily. it was a good experience overall. :)

Best Game In Existance
PostedApril 24, 2009
This game is the most amazing game in my whole collection, and that i have ever played. I've been addicted to this game since the day it came out and everytime i play through it i find new things to do and diffrent ways to play. No experience is exactly the same. The villains chase you in random order and there are so many ways to avoid them, it'll keep you busy for a long time. The puzzles are challenging, and the villains are relentless, you have the choice to run or fight them, and it has amazingly beautiful graphics, The character designs are amazing. The main character has to find her way out of the castle along with a white german shephard named hewie, she has to solve puzzles and unravel what is going on in order to escape, while being chased by a few diffrent villains with amazing voice acting and movements.
