Clive Barker's Jericho (Playstation 3, 2007)

I thought this game would be like the TV Series. I was dead wrong. The voice from Snake [ Metal Gear 4] is the only item of interest for the main character. You have 4 indivduals that are basically like the Fantastic 4. They all have some different powers. You chase some guy who wants to have a viruis spread through out the world, or something like that. The problem is that the graphics are poor, no plot and to tell you the truth its boring. I played for one hour and had enough. Then a couple of days later I played again, it just didn`t grab my interest. Its boring. The best part of the game is that it saves right up to the point where you left off. For younger, or kids this would be a game [remeber its bloody]that they would like. I wouldn`t pay any more then $10:00. That includes shipping.

Presentation- Menus are nice and slick, horror effects are excellent, but sadly there are no options to change the control set up.

Graphics- Characters are very detailed and look very nice. The enemy detail is absolutely mind blowing, and gruesome as well! The levels has a tremendous amount of detail and overall its great. This is the strongest point of the game.

Sound- Extremely spooky music and nice sound effects. In this game, there is always a creepy sound across the corner.

Gameplay- Awesome guns, cool magical powers, many different monsters, team tactics are nice, character switching is intense, a lot of different ways to kill an enemy.

Lasting Appeal- Sadly, the lasting appeal isn't very strong. After you beat the approximately 12 hour campaign, there is not much to do except maybe play it on a higher difficulty. However, you will probably come back to this game to get some more kicks out of it once you've beaten it.

Overall- If you love scary things, weird monsters, gruesome places, a LOT of blood, then quit wasting your time reading this review and get the game!

I LOVE THIS GAME, YOU ARE A TEAM OF 7 WITH DIFFERENT WEAPONS AND ABILITIES (WHY NO MULTI-PLAYER? MAKES NO SENSE .. REALLY... 7 CHARACTERS, AND ONLY 1 PLAYER.. WHAT WHERE THEY THINKING? ANYWAYS ITS A FUN SHOOT-EM-UP GAME. FREEFORM, LOTS OF AREAS TO EXPLORE, COMBATANTS COME AT YOU WITH A VENGEANCE. I FIND IT A THINKING MANS GAME, OTHERS MAY FIND IT TOO EAST TO AIM AND SHOOT- THEREFORE NOT CHALLENGING FOR THEM, BUT IF YOU LIKE TO TAKE YOUR TIME, AND ENJOY, THIS IS A GAME FOR YOU... YOU DONT KNOW WHEN THE ENEMY IS GOING TO BE UPON YOU. I THINK THIS A FANTASTIC BUY- VERY ENGAGING... BUT IF YOU ONLY LIKE ALWAYS INTENSE, SHOOT EVERYWHERE MAYHEM, THIS WOULDNT BE THE GAME FOR YOU! I RATE IT 5/5, YOU GOTTA GIVE IT AT LEAST 3-4/5 AS A GAMER, IF YOUR A MAYHEM PLAYER- YOU PROBABLY WOULDNT LIKE IT- YOUD JUST GET BOARD.

Jericho is a unique and intense addition to the highly competitive FPS market. Clive Barker’s trademark gothic touch is very much in evidence and ensures the game has a wonderfully macabre atmosphere. The best thing about this game is the ability to combine multiple skills at once by character switching. So you can latch onto an enemy using Church's blood tentacles, then jump to Jones and down slow time, making it much easier to pump a stream of bullets into the now-trapped target. This gives you awide variety of ways to overcome enemies and experimenting with different character combinations is genuinely satisfying. The character switching gameplay is fantastic too and really helps to create fast-paced shoot outs against some of the nastiest, diguesting enemies we've seen in a long time.

There's no denying Jericho is an action-packed shooter, and one you'll have a lot of fun with if you're after a blast that'll make your blood curdle.

The story behind this game is pretty interesting but thats all thats good about this game. #1 Poor A.I., I've played plenty of games that are quite challenging but you have to question if they gave any of these characters any type of intelligence. The enemy's run at you like they were on speed and your own team does not do anything but wait for them to come and blow up right in front of them. #2 Not challenging - This game it too easy but at the same time frustrating because the enemy is so dumb down that it gets boring.

My recommendation is to rent it, try it out and never play it again because even though there are some killer CGI movies, unfortunately thats all that it has. Save your money and get COD4

Clive Barker is a master of horror and suspense. I went into this game hoping they could match this genius' deranged visions and put them into a palatable horror based game, sadly the makers didn't accomplish this. I'm going to layer this review out with good and bad things, as it does have some strong points. They got a lot of gore and some suspense into this game, but story was hard to follow sometimes (I'm kind of ADD and not much for these long cinematics though, so maybe it was just for me) The graphics are very good. Character and enemy detail are excellent. I'd have to say the one huge highlight of this game is definitely the enemy detail, absolutely gorey and magnificent. I'm not going to comment on the background because it almost seems like a side scroller as its very repetitive at some points. No control customization? Who even does that anymore.. nuff said. There are definitely a lot of enemies to kill so if you're looking for a straight shoot um up game you'll love this one. THE ENEMIES ARE MINDLESS. There is no AI in this game to speak of really. Occasionally a monster with a gun will hide behind a wall but besides that no flanking, no covering fire, no hiding, its just mindless straight barrage after barrage of attacks, most of the enemies will not even try to avoid your fire. Another really cool feature of this game is body possession. To play your tactics out best, different characters have different weapons and magical abilities (some really cool, some really worthless) and when you want to utilize those abilities or weapons yourself, or when the game tells you you need to, you can switch to any of the other characters in your squad. Sound was very good, from music to quips from various characters during battles. If your playing at night with all the lights off and the sound cranked it can definitely add to this game. Now to get to the game killer in my eyes. This is basically a track based game. you can back up about 30 secs to the last door or obstacle you hit, that's it. There is nothing to explore, there are no side ways to go, there aren't various routes if you want to go back and play the game again, and the monsters come from the front 97% of the time. When they come from the back, they had to have magically appeared because there is no where they could have come from. This game might as well be like Time Crisis and decide where it wants you to go. Lastly, there are way too many load points and they each take ~30 seconds. It really detracts from the game play as well. My last words are save yourself 50 bucks and buy Doom 3 for your computer, its a better game anyways. If you must have a PS3 game there isn't one too close to this but of course of you want a good FPS buy Rainbow Six Vegas if you want to control other people in your squad or Resistance fall of man if you just want to kill stuff. Hope this helped and saved you some money.

PS3 game systems are still quite expensive, even though they have come down in price to 299. Its nice to be able to buy a game without going further into debt.

I did not like anything about this game. I played many PS 2 games better interaction and graphics than this. I did not play it more than 20 min. before I quit, never to play again. It was not worth one penny let alone the 14 dollars I paid for it. Graphics stink, cussing was extrem and godless, and story line was idotic. The makers of this must have been locked in a cave with no knowledge of life.

The game was in great condition, and the person I gave it to plays it regularly. Glad to do business with this person!

I really like this game.
Pros: very easy to play with, like aiming the enemy. The video in the game are pretty good. Lost of actions, lost of detail and real like creatures and also all the area around the story.

Cons: you can't play the game with others and also between the game there is to much of talking on waiting to continue to play. I was unable to moved it faster.

The game was awesome! Unfortunatly it was a short one but it was one of the best first person shooters EVER. The shipping could have been faster but the seller kept me updated. Strongly recommend this game as well as the seller!

It Sucked it sucked it sucked it sucked it sucked it sucked it sucked it sucked it sucked it suckedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

I thought that Jericho was a great game. Graphics were fantastic. Gameplay was really good. Really the only complaint was the game was a little repetitive. But usually thats how a lot of first person shooters are so you really can't complain too much about that. All in all really good game. I would recommend it to others.

I am a Clive Barker Fan. This game has a great Clive Barker story (soon to be made into a movie). Graphics are good and bloody. All the sounds are amazing and the music is great. Think of the squad from the Aliens movie. The characters are much like them with there wit and dialogue. But if the Aliens squad had special powers like The Jericho Squad then those aliens would never had stood a chance.

The story is very detailed explaining why you are doing what you are doing. There is never a dull moment if you are a story gamer. Action does lack for the action gamer since the AI is way low. The action is decent if you are a tactical gamer who can think on the fly and combine your squad's powers. Also the game is very linear. Not much to explore and no hidden features. Also if you want the unlockables you have to pay Codemasters for the cheat codes unless you can pull off the different super difficult goals you need to unlock them. And since each game disc is different you can not share them with a friend unless they are borrowing your disc.

The Good:
Music
Sound Effects
Story and Dialogue
Tactical Situations
Character and Enemy Graphics
Character Personalities
Various Character Special Powers, abilities, and equipment

The Bad:
Low Action (unless on hard)
Linear (No Where to go but forward)
Bad AI
Short game play
Mediocre Background graphics for a PS3 game
Pay for Unlockables? (poor form from Codemasters)
You have to be really awesome to get Unlockables for free

So as you can see there is both good and bad in the game that are about equal which is why I gave it a 3 out of 5.
