every so often I really disagree with the Gamespot editors and this is one of those times. I found Jericho to be an exceptional game that went out on a limb in many respects to make this game different from all the other shooters out there, and I think it did a great job. The idea of a squad based shooter really put me off at first, but this game pulls it off, not making it difficult, but instead giving the game depth and strategy. To make it simple you are the leader of a squad of supernatural soldiers, you die, but you become able to possess any of the other people in your squad whenever you like. The interface for this is simple and quick making it easy to jump from one character to another. Each character has different weapons and special abilities you can use. There are six characters that you can control, sometimes you are forced to use one or another, either to venture alone, or because only they have the power to get you past a certain point. Other than that you are free to use whomever you want. On flaw to the game is that only about three of the six characters, at least for me, were worth using. Those were the sniper, the heavy weapons, and the swordsman. Two of the other three were just sort of lame, and the other one was the only other person besides yourself that could heal teammates, and being that people die a lot, you want two healers active at all times. I found the level designs to be beautiful, and disgusting at the same time, they were very cramped, but that forced you to be careful and use some skill to stay alive, it also made it important to use a good character for the situation. I found many of the weapons and special abilities very fun to use. The monsters you fight are no pushovers and it will take much of your skill and patience to dispatch them, which can be more fun sometimes than truckloads of easy enemies.
I think that various game review sites genuinely missed the good stuff in this game by not knowing how to respond to something rather new -- an FPS horror game that's not too scary and not too strong FPS game either. ... Read Full Review
