Extermination: Avalanche Reviews

Anyone know how to use the dodge roll?

I was always too scared to play this as a kid but it left such an impression on me that I've been searching for anyone else that's aware of it just to make sure I didnt hallucinate it, this game doesn't get talked about enough.

It's nice to see the T-block camo being used in this game.

I remembered playing this game back who knows when. I did play this game, and I played it A LOT as a teenager. I’m not sure why I was thinking about it today, and I couldn’t even remember the name of the the game. I had to search so many things until I finally saw the box art and got the name.

Even to this day, I’m still saying this game and Dino Crisis should get a remake, really. I’m really loving the RE remakes, and being able to play the original Silent Hills are great, but it doesn’t always have to be zombies and biblical nightmare fuel. Sometimes other games like this one and Dino Crisis are perfect just out of sheer story and fun. Yeah, the game could use a lot of love, from the dialogue and voicing to the plot and game play, but this was a big thing. You could hang from the ceiling and shoot things, you have freedom to run around and jump and stuff that no RE game or Silent Hill can do, even in 2020. I mean, this was one of the first games to break the pre-rendered background, tank control games for survivor horror (I think). Well, most tank controls. You still had to stand in one spot while shooting. I’m glad developers figured out you don’t have to stand still to shoot a gun. This game really should be a cult classic, but it would be a really fun game to play today if they remade it.

I like the game but to me it felt rushed. The controls are clumsy and the game is so short. Another 6 months of developing and this could have been a classic.

Never knew about this game, i dont even see this in tops 20 horro game's. But then again no one knows coold fear and its a gem too. But at least siren its in toops so people played it and got releases on ps3.

Just painfully average. Annoying game mechanics. Even more annoying enemies. Combat is weak and controls are awful. Many times when you take damage, it's because the gameplay is so poorly thought out. Voice acting is also the worst I've heard and it seems broken at times. Like there are parts cut out and it sounds like some dialogue lines are slowed down or something. Weird.

It does still have the classic survival horror structure mostly, which is good. And the secret research facility in big trouble type story straight from the 90s/early 2000s. Just keep in mind that this is not among the best survival horror games from the era. If you can suppress your subconsciousness telling you how much of a chore this game ends up becoming as you play, then go ahead and give it a try.

Also, Cindy has the creepiest hands, man.

I think I still have this game

YESSSS i love extermination a lot! it’s one of my favorite games ever, even tho it does leave some to be desired LOL very glad to see people still playing it! as a kid, this game was SO revolutionary to my brother and i and taught us both a lot about gaming! plus the story was very emotional for the two of us to play and very riveting when ur young. it doesn’t hold up as well but the nostalgia factor draws me in hard… thx for a good review!!

lol Countdown Vampires =), I am a Silent Hill freak and I also had the same problems like you =), you always discover something new though which you missed, 'Echo Night Beyond' 'The Suffering' 'Ghosthunter' and Extermination were such great finds for me. Not really survival horrors but Ghost Master [The Gravenville Chronicles, and Shin Megami Tensei Lucifer's Call were surprisingly great horror games I found which I never heard of before.

Main character sounds like raiden

I wonder how well it works in an emulator…

I'm just imagining a remake/sequel of this game in the modern era. Better graphics and VO (obviously), with an updated, more over-the-shoulder camera with proper controls for it. More SPR4 options and mechanics to update combat options (like an actual reload button XD ). All the kinds of improvements that would be deserved, with new and updated enemies, as well as new perspectives for engaging them.

I think of all of it, and honestly? I think a game like that would friggin' terrify me. Imagine seeing one of the bigger monsters of this game charging at you, roaring and snarling, with the updated visuals they deserve to truly make them monsters. Would freak me out. XD

An absolute gem of a game

I remember playing this game, underrated and a very good one
