If you're the kind of person who crumples in front of games as challenging as, say, Yoshi's Story, then Atari's got your back. In a move that will no doubt encourage howls of protest from more hardcore players, Alone in the Dark producer Nour Polloni has revealed that the game will allow players to skip sections they find to be too difficult.Apparently, we'll be able to dodge any part of the game we like using a "DVD-style menu," though players who use this feature will do so "at a cost." Those last three words could well be the most crucial part of this -- while it would be easy to dismiss this idea (and we can only imagine it making the game less frightening), we'll have to wait and see just what kind of punishment is doled out to those who skip.

no....no...NO!!!! lol that'd be a GRAT punishment man! You should definitely suggest that to the creators! This game would definitely be a whole lot scarier.

Why would it be?
If you want, then you can play it all w/o skipping a level.
Personally to me this sound like a perfectly normal thing to do: to allow to enjoy game the way I like. Probably skip the place I do not like and to allow to play the place I liked several times.
From my experience, those who refer to such things as "horrible" are way too engaged in dick size competitions. Instead of simply playing games for your own fun and enjoyment.

they will make you watch 10 minutes of the starwars xmas special, and you lose all upgrades, and all ingame money, as well as you have to suffer the peanutbutter jelly song for an hour and the system can't turn off during that period, and your tv can suddnly not turn down the volume, and your house doors suddnly lock for no apparent reason!

I'm just wondering if the Wii version will have the cool item combination stuff that was in that video they put out recently.
