Maybe Clive did a great job on story line, but someone messed up the game...
User Rating: 6 | Clive Barker's Jericho PC
I've read some of the reviews and I agree on almost everything. The good is: graphics... The bad is: the rest. The atmosphere, the gameplay is almost based on that Painkiller game; enter the zone, kill the enemies, go to next zone. The engine is totaly Quake or Doom, as you can see by disapearing bodies and lotsa other stuff. As for the story, it's interesting somehow, it drives you to play further. As for gameplay... No comment. Pure shootout, no tactics, just run forward and press mouse buttons, reload press buttons, see bodies dissapear, repeat the whole thing again. I expected a lot more of this, but I don't blame the Clive. I blame the guys who thought that graphics could beat great gameplay. Thats my opinion. I'll play this a little bit more, just to see the other sick creations, but thats all. I find this game poor, poor newgen-flashy graphs-click to kill-no fun at all type.
(Or Im just getting older and wanting too much out of new gen. games)
