    A bit too dark (as in "no light"), linear and uninventive. It is also strangely entertaining. [Mar. 05]

    Once you get a few levels into the game, you start to see the purpose and role of each weapon, and Constantine encourages you to think strategically about how to take down enemies.

    Falls into the usual pitfalls of not immersing the player in enough to make playing the game worthwhile. This is a rental at best.

    Replay value is low; better rent before you buy. [May 2005, p.76]

    The problem here is simple laziness. Constantine is a dull, monotonous shooter with few redeeming features, do yourself a favour and buy some of the superb graphic novels instead.

    It’s a shame though that the game only lasts for about 4-5 hours though, as Constantine could have been a good 3rd person shooter adventure if done properly.

    The enemies you fight are the definition of repetitive. They are the same type of demon you see in the movie except in seven or eight very subtle variations.

    another underrated hidden gem game by THQ inc that's developed by Bits Studios. i like the game it has the horror vibe elements that the movieanother underrated hidden gem game by THQ inc that's developed by Bits Studios. i like the game it has the horror vibe elements that the movie had and although keanu reeves did not voice for this game, William Hope had the best impersonation of keanu reeves ever. the story breifly touches the plot from the movie but it also explores this movie universe alot further and its something i grew to appreciate especially after founding out that keanu reeves was trying to get the sequel green lit recently and loved the character but dc and warner bros with their failure of a live action universe (DCEU) had no interest to the sequel so for me this is as close as were going to get for a sequel. the only complaint that i do have is the game is way to dark u can barely see anything even with the brightness at the max otherwise this game is a masterpiece and extremely underrated… Expand

Very linear and repetitive, and zero replayability, but very fun. I still remember many things about this game all these years later, like the final boss. Better than any Max Payne game I've played, thats for sure.… Expand

    The game didn't make me as excited as the movie itself. The gameplay wasn't bad, but the graphics left something to complain about.
