The Thing

Anyone who's ever seen John Carpenter's 1982 horror picture, THE THING, probably knows how frightening this game is. Based on the story of that very film, the events in this game take place just after the movie's plot ends. You're part of a team that's been sent to an abandoned base in the Antarctic to investigate the mysterious happenings. You quickly discover the fact your enemy can morph into the form of its prey, making it next to impossible to detect. Armed with flamethrowers, machine guns, and weapons you build yourself, you'll try to win this battle before the terror spreads. More About The Thing.

Kick But Game!

Reviewed by georgiasiguru on November 23, 2007  |  report this review

This game is awsome if you have seen the 1982 John Carpenters "The Thing" Starring Kurt Russell as R.J. McReady. The movie and the game are Parallel for the first time ever ive never played a game based on a movie that follows it almost to the T. Of course there are a few things added to prolong the game but basically its just like the movie it will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. Also sometimes in your squad someone could be infected and you can check people to see if they are. Also your team gets fear and rage, becareful what you do as there emotions change depending on the surroundings and how you react. One issue I did have since i played the game many times over the Infect Test does not work on some parts even if you know they are infected the game must reach a certain point in the game to activate the virus but no big deal its fun to watch them turn on you while your buddies are freaking out. Once again Play this game if you have not its unreal. It makes me sad that people I guess really didnt value this game but anyone who has watched the movie can respect this game. Once again another great review from Georgia's #1 Internet Marketing GURU! Mitchell Faulkner II
