202865 2003-12-25 04:27:00 Hi all - Here's hoping you are having a great Christmas :)

Santa was good enough to get my kids an X-Box for Christmas along with a few games.

The problem is that one of the games (Brute Force) is soooo dark on the screen that you can hardly see what is happening. (007 - Nightsomething is also darker than is comfortable).

Is this just how they are designed, or is there a way to lighten them up (Read the manuals but no assistance there!)

Once again, have a wonderful Christmas and thanks in advance for any replies.

Hope this helps :)

I suspect that a lot of console games are quite dark, and so if you've got a Game channel, switch to that, or just adjust the brightness of your TV. My tv has something similar, but instead of having a devoted tv channel setting, it has a picture setting (also called "Game") which adjusts the brightness etc. of the tv to suit.

HTH,
Mike.
