Clive Barker's Jericho for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Let me start by saying that if you like FPS and horror games, this won't disapoint you. If you're a fan of F.E.A.R and Silent Hill, give this a try.

I honestly don't see the reason why so many people resent this game. One of the numerous complaints is that "Exploding enemies do too much damage." Certain characters have abilities to pick them off at a distance, so that they can't hit you.

The best part of the game was the storyline, which I found amazing. All in all, a worthy rent.

get the big negative out of the way.

your squad AI is going to suck. youll spend a lot of time just reviving teammates and theyll spend a lot of time not being able to hit the broadside of a barn. its frustrating. but it doesnt ruin the game.

and the small negative.

this game would have been amazingly better with multiplayer. as it would have alieved some of the gripes about having a dumb squad, plus it would have made for better game dynamics.

now for the positives.

the storyline is hands down one of my top 5 favorite in any game ever. clive barker is such a great writer, and the world he envisions for the game is so unique that i would have put up with a lot worse things than bad squad AI to get through it.

the squad is also a lot of fun to play. all the different powers and different weapon specialties make getting through the game a ton of fun. learning to play each character changes how you approach fights, and makes how you approach mobs different everytime. ghostbullet has to be my favorite ability. clear a whole hallway with one bullet and 5 headshots. great.

id like to see a sequel where the voice acting was a little better, there was a multiplayer component and your squad was actually helpful...but since the game was so badly received im guessing thats just a pipedream.
