The Calling Wii

[Phoenixchild]

holy shit!

I have been scared by a Wii game to the point it's creepy to turn off the lights. I've played alot of scary games in my time, but "The Calling" or "Calling" for the Wii has a REAL creepy essence, walking down a dark hall way in an anbandoned school only to have your Wii motering and a voice whisper "I'm right behiind yooooouuuuu" and then holyshitghostsohgodrunformylife!!!!!!

This game makes amazing use of the Wii mote speakers, the controls are a little awkward at times, and like all puzzle games there are points where you wander around aimlessly not sure what to do for a while then to face palm when you find out what you were missing. I recomend this game 150%

It's a Wii game

It's scary as holy shit

It's awesome

You must play it.


this is an OLD a very old game play glimspe, it's changed ALOT since then(control wise and it's a bit more free roam now), but fundamentally the same, I don't know if this part is in the game at all but yea just a taste of it.

...You've played this? And you honestly think it's good?

HOT DAMN! My faith in the game has been restored. I'm not one to pay heed to reviews but it has been getting a lot of flak. I'm a huge fan of horror games so i'll definitely have to try and grab a copy... Although eBay has sod all for cheap.

Yea I think the game is amazing, I pirated it earlier today and I waited till dark and shut down all the lights and stuff and holy crap this game is freaky, espcially when your Wii mote is constnatly threatening you and all this stuff... its hard to explain I would hope you like it parts of it feel lame like I opened the same closet three dozen times in different places...so yea

but otherwise yea I have no REAL complaints about this game other then the controls being a little awkward at the beginning. You addapt quickly I find.

What is a true horror game without clunky controls though? All of the noted classics have had bad (or still to this day) bad controls. I mean, RE handled like a tank. A TANK. So I doubt that'll put me off. I mean, Ju-On: The Grudge for the Wii was a bit off in places but I still persevered and enjoyed it for what it was.

I'm definitely going to try and get this though. I think it absolutely bombed in sales so I just need to wait for some shops to do stock clearances or something maybe. Glad it uses the Wiimote speakers. I find that often really under-utilised. Makes Joey a sad panda.

Wait you liked Ju-on ? my friend played that earlier today and the lack of....running made the game so bad I didn't think I could play it , this game reminded me of what the grudge SHOULD have been.

Still I'm glad you would try it, Im actually a little sad it bombed in sails, the Wii needs MORE good games and this ...more games like this would be awesome.

That game's 3 minute preview just scared the shit out of me. Thanks Phoenix!

For what it was I enjoyed it. It's the type of game you pull out at Halloween parties and leave on in the background. The lack of running was DAMN annoying, but had the running been in place it would have easily been a 1/2 hour game. I did like a lot of the Wiimote speaker uses in that. Especially in the first warehouse, you're walking along and then... *riiiiiinnnnng* Made me jump so bad.

The sad thing is, the game has sold SO badly I can't find hardly anything on eBay. All there is are eBay powersellers stocking it which aren't exactly individual Joe Blogs like you and me. So I suspect it'll have to be a case of scouting out for sales or getting lucky and someone sells it on eBay. I kind of want to play it now as I finished Silent Hill: Shattered Memories the other day and i'm in the mood for some horror.

I'm a horror game craze, but I'm too scared to play them myself so I watch them on youtube, and I watched this game before it came out in English.
Holy SHIT, even without being able to understand the voice acting or subs, it was so scary ; _ ;

Think I should watch the walkthrough again, I wanna know what the storyline is > w <
