Darkwatch (Xbox, 2005)

Pros
+ A unique twist on the 1st person shooter.
+ Being able to use vampire powers, a sweet melee, & a real sense of unloading your weapon on an opponent.
+ Huge multiplayer maps for on or offline play.

Cons
- Driving is not as fun as you want it to be.
- Choosing between good & evil doesn't really explore consequences.
- Trying to find a game online. Host advantage.

Comments
Darkwatch has some interesting game elements. This is no basic 1st person shooter. Your team of soldiers is useless but all of your powers make up for it. Jumping is also major fun because you can get a ton of air time. There are quite a few memorable boss fights & rail shooting from your horse. It also has a pretty good story & some nice cutscenes.

Verdict
Must play for any 1st person shooter fan or anyone looking for something different.

Darkwatch spins the tale of Jerico Cross, an outlaw looking for his one last big score. Bit by a vampire the race is on to cleanse his soul or meet certain death. This first person shooter offers a good storyline, good grapics, XBOX Live and gameplay but sadly that's it. With a serious lack of side missions and upgrades it's hard to give the green light for the retal price. Definitely one of the better vampire shooters but if that's not your thing it's better left as a rental at best.

This game offers the chance to use many different weapons. The graphics are vivid, the locations vary. Each battle/encounter/situation offers a different challenge. Firing pistols while riding a galloping horse full-tilt across the prairie was quit entertaining. A constant challenge, this game was entertaining, exciting, and a little scary.

Ever since Darkwatch was released it was one of those games I just had to try, whether people said it was good or not. But I can strongly say that even when coming into this game with an open opinion and open mind about what I was about to experience, this game is horrible. The only thing I can really say I like are the controls. It's easy to aim and the game moves fluidly. However, the story is weak, graphics aren't very good, and it's just boring. You do the same thing over and over. If I were you, I would stay away from this game. Even if you have an open attitude like I did, trust me, it's not good. Spend your money on something else and don't regret buying it like I did.

Yes, Darkwatch had a unique story line, Yes, some of the action sequences were unique (horseback gunfights) but in the end this is just another shooter! And there are better First person shooters out there for you to spend your money on.

Honestly I would classify this as a rental type game, or at least a game that you should wait for the price to drop.

This game wasn't so great, at all. second worst fps game i've ever played, the first being pariah where you can get completely stuck in between rocks in normal game play. The ending was horrible. The characters were bland. The enemies were just repetitious, and not in a fun way. It was generally boring and lacked any real context. The boss battles were completely horrible and seemed to be exactly the same. BIG disappointment.

ODDS ARE ONE OF THE BEST CHEEP XBOX GAMES OUT THERE I LOVED THE OLD WESTEREN TYPE SETTING WITH GHOSTS EXT. AWESOME I WISH THERE WAS A SEQUEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

And this is the only game like it I have found. The action is terrific and the graphics are awesome. The sounds are perfect for this game. I can't stop playing this one until I see what happens next. The story line is very interesting because you are ultimately trying to stop yourself from becoming a vampire...or are you. You choose your path along the way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME

This Game is amazing a great combination of a rpg and first action shooter game. I wanted to get this one for a while. The price and shipping from this seller was good. The condition of the game was excellent for a rntal game that seen alot of play time. A++ Game and seller.

i havent played this game in a while and it has a great story line. this game has great action and guns but needs more guns. great game

My husband loves this game due to all the action involved! This was a used game, but shipped in excellent condition (as if new), along with guide book etc.
Price was excellent! Was a much better buy, than I could have gotten @ a used video store and was in better condition!

This game was awesome, in fact when i first saw it I thought "Oh great another boring, gory, lame vampire game" but once i played it I thought this game was one of the best games ever, sweet guns, cool powers. Oh i also liked the split ending, and how you could choose to be evil or good, I thought the bad guy ending was cooler, but I thought the good guy ending fit better. ya awesome game buy it for a great time, and if you own this game and you're bored go to the level with the ghost town, its better and funner to do this with a partner, kill a regulator and hideout in the buildings killing regulators, and see how long you can last without both of you dying at the same time, very fun

easy to play annd alot of action.and a very good story plotand 3 levels of play you keep goin black to make it a hard play lol get one you wont be sorry you did

I enjoyed the game because of the entertainment factor. Also, you can play the game in two-player mode which makes it even more fun. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys competing with someone else.

I just started playing my X-Box over the past few months. And I am building my game collection. I saw this game in the store a few times and it is not priced low and when I saw it online for $15 I had to jump on it. I loved the challenge of this game the different aspects of it and the rush. Some of you gamers probably do not feel the same but playing Area 51 and then this I had to relieve some frustration of that game and got hooked on Darkwatch within 5 minutes of play. Happy gaming.

Xbox video games are the best due to the mature content and way the story unfolds along with the graphics. Sheer blood and guts and kill everything that moves is the way i enjoy my xbox. I beleive in the "ratings" system and also parents should monitor the games their childern play. I know the difference and enjoy the non-reality based games against all odds.

I found this game amusing to a point. I will list Pros and Cons

Pros:
Sweet Guns
Good Storyline

Cons:
Boring Missions
Not enough character/player interactivity
No one plays this on XBOX Live!
There are some really cheesy parts of the game

Overall I would suggest this game to diehard horror fans
Other than that this game is not very good.

this game kicks ass.. must have game.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

simpley put this is one of the best games to ever be created and I certainly hope they will make more.
