The Good
- Clever use of the Wiimote as cell phone
- interesting character backstories to discover
- a few chilling atmospheric moments
- fairly accessible for non-action gamers.
The Bad
- Often aimless, unrewarding exploration of dull environments
- over-reliance on darkness and cheap scare tactics
- ghost encounters are no fun and stop being scary
- underwhelming production values.
Our Verdict
Underwhelming
There are some good elements that shine through occasionally, but generally the game is not a positive experience.
Calling’s intriguing cell phone conceit and promising backstory get hung up in an abyss of poorly-conceived game design.
