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

    The mix of spells, weapons, and melee is great and presents an ongoing challenge throughout the levels with the various demons and boss fights.

    The game isn't lacking in content, but there is nothing innovative that hasn't been done before.

    Spell casting is a nice twist but overall this is your usual movie tie-in.

    It doesn't try to accomplish very much, and it succeeds at almost all of its very modest targets.

    It's pretty much as we had expected: another generic film license that was probably built to a set timescale and with a limited scope.

    No joke, I actually fell asleep playing the game, and it was only 3 o' clock in the afternoon!

    The film rocked! I love Hellblazer, and even though it's Keanu in it, I thought he did a great job. The game is close to the movie, and The film rocked!

    I think it's a fantastic game. The graphics are good, the AI rocks, the control is sweet and the puzzles are involving.

    Ignore the ill informed '1' scores here. This game is a solid title and complements the film very well. Some of the graphic effects Ignore the ill informed '1' scores here. This game is a solid title and complements the film very well. Some of the graphic effects are awesome and the spell casting/puzzle solving elements never seem tired of overdone. Dont listen to these idiots - give the game a try and see for yourself!… Expand
