  • Summary: An unflinching realisation of a Clive Barker nightmare for next-gen console platforms and PC, Clive Barker's Jericho is a supernatural horror concept with story by the master mythmaker, novelist and filmmaker Clive Barker. Jericho deals with the mysterious reappearance of a lost city in a remote desert. When a form of evil that goes right back to the dawn of days resurfaces from there, a Special Forces squad, trained in both conventional warfare and the arcane arts, is sent in. Their mission: Hunt down and destroy the evil that lurks at the heart of the city before it destroys humanity. Jericho is designed as an action horror title that ups the stakes in visuals and phantasmagorical special effects. Mingling the darkest elements of Barker’s horror fiction and films with an ambitious, age-spanning story, aimed at mature gamers, fans of Clive Barker and horror fiction enthusiasts.

    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.

    Jericho is definitely a case of inventive design married all-too-unhappily to old school thinking, and the result is a game that is almost fatally broken.

    Given how much repetition is in the game, one would think it was much longer than its six to eight hour length. The lack of any kind of multiplayer hurts it further. And the final stake to the heart is the appallingly abrupt and inconclusive ending.

    Jericho claims to be a jump-out-of-your-seat horror game, but it just isn't. There is a hell of a lot of blood, but gore doesn't equal scary, gore is just a cheap excuse for horror. Clive Barker has created some messed up stuff in his time, but this is anything but scary in the most remote sense. Graphics are okay but anything but life changing. Sound effects are great but the voice acting is just dull and uninspired. and gameplay is its huge fault, the controls are fine but the AI got me throwing the controller. Your teammates die again and again and again and again and again and its up to you to. The whole experiance is mediocre and anger inducing. Avoid.… Expand

    Not scary at all and very repetitive. Switching between characters has already been done better before. I picked it up because it was so cheap. Not god awful but not groundbreaking.… Expand

    All of the people giving this game good ratings are either delusional or have the worst taste in games ever. This game was a complete repetitive slog through generic environments, horrible teammate A.I., and a boring story. At about the halfway point, you're stuck in a hallway with one type of enemy coming from up the stairs followed by one coming from the left, and after killing both this repeats itself, I kid you not, for 20 full minutes. I assumed either there was a spawn point to cross or I hit a bug, but no, all the walkthroughs mention this point. This is just one example of the atrocious time-wasting garbage this game is, and it's where I called it quits.… Expand
