When I hear The Thing was coming to PS2 I could barely wait. The Thing is one of my favorite movies. The tension and paranoia on screen balanced out well with the over-the-top special effects and gore. If the game was half as good at the flick, I was going to love it.

Turns out it wasn't even a tenth as good. Everything John Carpenter putinto the movie was sucked out of the game (and I do mean sucked). Difficult controls and a storyline that felt nothing like the movie made me quit after the third level. I might as well of flushed the 50 bucks down the toilet.
