Clive Barker's Jericho - Xbox 360

Swift shipping at an affordable price! I am a HUGE Clive barker fan, so I had to obtain a copy of this game! The game came in great condition and the shipping was swift with no issues. I would also suggest you obtain a copy for the 360 instead of the PS3. I have played both versions for both systems and the graphics on the 360 are by far sharper and clearer.

FUN game

For a old game , it's great , very hard missions .

Nothing against the seller that shipped the game to me, I got it quick and it's in great condition. But after playing this game for about a half hour, I realized I was having absolutely no fun at all. The story is random and uninteresting, and the characters are boring. Maybe that's because there's seven of them, talk about an oversized cast. I guess so that's you can play as each and have different experiences as you play, but it doesn't help that the whole team is all crowded together in a hallway or chasm while more and more exploding enemies keep coming and they think it's a good idea to keep rushing them. Since the first character you play is the healer, and the other healer likes to bum rush exploding enemies too, look forward to constantly trying to heal your idiotic teammates while more walking powderkegs are sprinting towards you. The weapons so far are yawn-inducing. How in the world did they make an assault rifle/auto shotgun dull to use?I may have paid for this game, but I doubt I'll be throwing it back in the 360 anytime soon. I know I probably won't be able to unload on somebody else either, I don't think my conscience would allow me anyway. Jericho, Thumbs WAY down.

I purchased this game because of the price drop and some of the reviews I read on amazon.com and I must say I was quite pleased. A game like Jericho is the reason why I don't listen to so called professional critics. This game was just plain good and fun. Why it got poor reviews I have no idea. The graphics are a little dated by todays standards but still a nice looking game. The gameplay is fun and its nice to be able to play six different characters at the push of a few buttons. The action is fast paced and can sometimes be a little overwhelming but you'll get through it. This game does not suck and there should be a sequel. If you haven't played this game and you like FPS then you are missing out. Put down the Call of Duty, Gears and Halo and play something else for a change. Play Jericho! Stop listening to critics and use your own judgement. It is because of critics and the people that listen to them, why games like Jericho fall by the wayside and you never see a sequel. Its not the greatest game ever made but you will enjoy it. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a real cover system which can be a pain sometimes.

Jericho doesn't have the extensive playability as some of the big titles out today do, but it is definitely one game that I'm glad I didn't miss out on! Jericho's dark and twisted atmosphere keeps you wondering what mutated form will be lurking around the next corner, while each character's unique set of weapons and magical skills keeps your mind running to figure out which combination of force to use to survive each horrifying encounter. Grab this game as soon as you can, and enjoy! :)

Looking back, I've got to to say that I have yet to find any game developed or published under the 'Codemasters' logo that I've truly enjoyed. I've come across quite a few and I've tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, picking up and playing through most of them. The end result for pretty much all of them left me with the feeling I get when I take a bite of one of those fluffy French pastries with the powdered sugar on top; sort of sweet but filled with nothing but air and really messy at the end. They try, but just don't seem to have the revenue or the skill to match their convictions. It's too bad, because I'd be more than happy to give them an 'A' for effort.GAMEPLAY-1 StarFor this type of story, I'd almost think they shot themselves in the foot by turning it into a basic first-person shooter, and the way Codemasters seems to do shooters is to have you wander down corridor-like areas and literally SWAMP you with wave upon wave of enemies at periodic intervals. Kill all of them, travel a little bit further and repeat. For this type of concept, a Resident Evil style of play would be better in my opinion. Make it a little slower paced but more suspenseful. After all, it's supposed to be horror, not straight bang-'em up action. And the action is mind-numbingly dull, meaning walk forward, pull a trigger, walk forward, push a button, open a door, walk forward, kill everything that's not a team member while avoiding exploding demons and barrels. Yawn. That style of play tends to lose its impact for me very quickly.STORY-4 StarsAccording to the story, before God created Adam, He created a prior, sexless entity named the Firstborn. Indescribably powerful but apparently viewed as a flawed creation by its maker, the Firstborn was left abandoned, banished from its Father's sight, to wander alone in a barren nether realm.Jealous of the attention that it sees God lavishing on humanity, it resolves to destroy man and recapture God's love for itself. It breaks through to our world at the site of Al-Khali (roughly translated from Arabic as 'The Empty Quarter'), an ancient abandoned city of the Middle East.Strange sightings are reported from that area along with unusual weather patterns, prompting the deployment of a special team of soldiers to investigate, each gifted with their own unique supernatural ability.It quickly goes south from there.GRAPHICS-5 StarsThe visuals of Jericho are incredibly detailed. This is the most immersive aspect of the game that I've found. The creatures are grotesque, the zone in the desert you find yourself in is convincingly remote and forlorn and I LOVE the effect when, after one of the demons is killed, a swarm of flies flows over the body to devour it. I find myself playing the game just to see that at times. Your team members and the demons are also very intricate in their design.SOUND-3 StarsThe ambience is wonderfully rendered through the sound effects, music and dialogue... at first. It quickly becomes repetitive after the first few levels. There are only a few points where the dialogue wanders off the beaten path. That kind of thing only serves to remind me that this is, in fact, a game.REPLAY-1 StarI have found no way to get anything different from going through this game more than once. It's the same areas, the same enemies and the same non-witty sarcastic remarks from your team members each time you pop it into your console. I DO try to get something different out of each game or movie that I watch, but this one just didn't manage to draw me in enough.OVERALL-2 StarsAgain, sadly, the idea behind Clive Barker's Jericho showed promise, but poor execution marred it beyond any hope of true quality. Unless you're the type of person that enjoys simplistic gameplay, this game will probably leave a void where satisfaction is supposed to be.And I have a feeling that that's EXACTLY what the Firstborn wants.

Es uno de los mejores juegos de terror de todos los tiempos, altamente recomendable la historia.
