 It's a good game! November 26, 2007

I'm not a super big fan of Clive Barker but I love horror stories/films/games. The graphics are very well done and the story is interesting as well. The game play is unique and I'd have to call it a cross between a first person shooter and a squad based tactical game (think Rainbow Six like). The unique twist is each of the squad members have super natural powers that you have to use to survive encounters. You don't play a single squad member but rather you jump between the members. One of my favorite characters has a mind controlled sniper rifle in which you can fire the rifle at a zombie but then guide the bullet to another target and another target. It is something that just has to be experienced but you'll never look at other sniper games the same when you can get three head shots with one shot ;). The only drawback is no multiplayer. This game cries out for co-op play and would have had some interesting online play possibilities.

I have been a Clive Barker fan for a while now. Owning several of his books and having seen the entire Hellraiser series, I had developed a taste for his work. It was relief to find something as sadistic as I was looking for, which I found in Hellraiser, after having been immensely disappointed with Michael and Jason and Freddy, so Barker gained my loyalty with his infamous creation.
Now that his video game, Jericho, is out, I finally managed to get my hands on a copy and just beat the game. First off, the graphics are great- one of the better next gen games I would say, certainly wiping the floor with Resistance: Fall of Man (I thought). The environments were great and the lighting fantastic, and the characters and creatures models were repulsive but demanded close attention. The framerate never slows down, making for smooth gameplay and frantic action. All seven characters have their own distinct psychic powers, ranging from the ability to control a bullet to possession. Some of these are more useful than others- Black's Ghost Bullet was definately my favorite, while Jones's possession ability is completely useless except in the situations where you have to use it. Cole's Time Warp ability, while I didn't use it often, was pretty neat, but it was her increased firepower ability that made her useful, as well as her weapon that would identify an enemies weaknesses. Rawling's life drain ability is, for all intents and purposes, worthless.
Which brings me to my next point. While your squad mates aren't totally stupid, they're not the brightest, either. They stay right in the path of fire and when an exploding enemy dies right next to them, rather than run away from it, they stand right there and let the corpse explode, which more often than not kills them and requires you to stop what you're doing and revive them. It gets frustrating at first but after a while you kind of get used to it.
I loved this game. And I will say, the cutscene before the final battle shocked me- let's say teammates go boom. Amazing.
Overall, great game. The AI is only a minor complaint compared to all the fun I had with the game.
Decent Fun November 5, 2007

I played Jericho for the PS3 and bought I because I enjoyed the demo and was despirate for a FPS for the PS3.
The good:
Its fun
Difficulty settings are appropriate
Graphics are cool
Controller is easy to learn
The bad:
At times too dark to see your surroundings
Short
Game favors some characters with certain powers
Not as interactive as other next gen games (can't jump or pick up items)
a good game, in time for a good scare October 30, 2007

Clive Barker,,, what can be said about the well known writer? A leading contemporary mind behind horror movies (as director) Hellraiser, Lord of Illusions, and many more written novels, plays and games.
Jericho on the PS3 has beautiful graphics; don't be put off by the start of the game. I felt, on the first stage, during the desert infiltration through the ruins that the textures were a bit dull. But soon after, it got better with magnificent lighting and graphics.
The darkness of the environments is great, very eerie feel to it. But the ambiance sometimes suffers, although not much often, when the action heats up, it just fades and blows out with all guns blazing.
They say some replay value is there but I am yet to finish and go through the game again.
Except for some finishing issues the game is pretty much a 75 out of 100, 3.75 stars ;)
