The scariest part of Jerhico was playing it

User Rating: 3 | Clive Barker's Jericho PC
I wanted to love this game, I really did. I am a HUGE Barker fan and when I first met the designers behind this at Alchemic I was sure it was going to be a run away hit.

something went terribly wrong though, the cool dialog I saw a year ago has been replaced with cheesy one liners that are so old and so uncool to hear that you actually cringe sometimes when characters speak.

The workd is dark, super dark...dark to the point where even a flashlight doesn't help you in some areas. and the gunplay for all its worth is really cheap most of the time. You can literally just stand there and watch enemies run right to you. oh and you never run out of ammo...at least for the 4 hours I played...I never did.

I never finished the game so this is like a mini review. I want to but its become really painful to get thru...so I think I am just going to go play the orange box or Bioshock again.

maybe if there is a part two they can sort out some of the issues like poor design, bad animations (the run anim is pretty lame) and gunplay that is really devoid of any fun.
