    Remember this kids, Clive Barker Mercury Steam and Codemasters have formed together to make what is in my mind one of the best shooters this year.

    Its slick style, amazing graphics, and dark atmosphere really make it stand out.

    Considering the subject material there are not many other games like it (F.E.A.R.) and the unique character-switching feature helps it pick up a few points. The nice variation in weapons and magical powers also keeps the average gameplay from getting too boring.

    Clive Barker’s Jericho doesn’t provide the same degree of deep and engaging gameplay as Undying, opting instead for a more accessible, mainstream adventure that can be frightening at best, and repetitive at worst. Still, the game has no shortage of action and intensity.

    I would've enjoyed more variety in the enemy fodder, but what's available is certainly creepy and intense. Clive Barker should develop more games. [Nov 2007, p.65]

    Unlike many squad-based shooters that don't require the use of the whole team, Jericho's premise relies on it. What's equally important is that each character is genuinely worth playing.

    If you are a fan of Clive Barker's works, or in fact a horror fan, then Jericho should be a priority for you.

    A flawed classic. Jericho is stylish, with epic battling, unique gameplay dynamics and satisfying weapons. But variable visuals, too many QTEs and a poor ending leave it wanting. [Issue 26, p.88]

    It provides gamers with a creepy, action-packed experience with a solid plot and unique designs. No one should go into Jericho expecting the “Citizen Kane” of gaming, just like no one expects a slasher flick to win an Oscar. Instead, Jericho should be enjoyed for what it is: an interactive horror experience, good for some chills, thrills and a little bit of ye old gore factor thrown in for good measure.

    A solid shooter marred by poor design. Excellent visuals and some fine FPS gameplay are to be had in Jericho, but I wouldn't pay full price for it.
  12. Official Xbox Magazine

    High-concept and high-action from beginning to end, Jericho is far closer to "Gears of War" and "Painkiller" than to "Condemned", but it's darker and gorier than all three combined. [Holiday 2007, p.66]

    It was... fine. The gameplay was repetitive and boring, and it hadnt any kind of progression system. But the visuals were outstanding.

The quick time event is gamer just one kind of thing that you want to avoid at all cost in video games Lucky you don't get sent back too long So it's not that bad.
    I completed the game on hard difficulty with mint that some of enemies could kill me in one hit it was satisfying it, Got me to think about which character. I was playing .
    The graphic artists disgusting in a good way, I enjoyed the graphic design very much accepted I think game was way too f****** Brown for my liking. It's insane. How brown it is most of the parts of the game.
    I was happy to find out that is game only took me 5 hours. It was one of those realisations where a game is just about long enough to not be completed tedious and have a bit of fun in but I can only recommend this if you have a really big fascination for bad games.    … Full Review »

I didn't understand the ending but after several years I understood it and that's when it became my favorite game.… Full Review »
