Jericho, I don't believe is as bad as the GS reviewer sees it.
I think the nit picking on the monsters is a bit over the top however. The exploding beasties are quite easy to kill if your on top of the game and take care of them as they come at you and not once they are on you. Just hit the little yellow things on them and they go down in a shot or two, as stated in the instruction book.
They also, most of the time, start at a very fair distance away, so it is quite easy to switch to Black to knock them out one at a time.
I find the sound great, the lighting great and the story, to me is quite cool. Granted, it could be expanded and I have a little left to play so I cannot account for the end boss. To say there is no story at all however, does not do it justice. There is a story, you just have to read most of it... It is a shooter at heart and that is what you need to expect to be doing when you play Jerico. So far, I love it. I enjoy this story much more than that of Halo 3's storyline.... Sorry, call me a a sinner.
