  • Summary: Inspired by the film by Warner Bros., and based on the graphic novels by DC Comics and Vertigo Hellblazer, Constantine is an intense horror game that literally takes you to Hell and back. You play as John Constantine, an irreverent mystic detective who must embark on an investigation in a supernatural world that exists just beneath Los Angeles. To survive, you must use an array of powerful incantations and holy artifacts, including the crucifier, holy shotgun, and flamethrower. Your "true sight" ability helps you identify demons and other secrets. Expand

  1. A bit too dark (as in "no light"), linear and uninventive. It is also strangely entertaining. [Mar. 05]
  2. The mix of spells, weapons, and melee is great and presents an ongoing challenge throughout the levels with the various demons and boss fights.
  3. 70
    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.

    So, just like Keanu Reeves, you may be able to save the world from impeding enemies, but he will not be there to save you when you realize how much time you've wasted playing this lackluster licensed title.

    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 instills a great feel of the comic book in you. Get this game now!! ;) Expand

    This is not a terrible game. It's really fun to play. The voice acting is good, the graphics are well done, but the controls could've been a lot better. It's a scary game if you are sitting in the dark with a surround sound system. You can hear the demons coming at you from all around. I thought this was a very entertaining game. Expand

    Seeing all those 10s below has me a bit suspicious. This game is very average overall. The graphics are below par, although it does have cool blur effects - especially when in hell. The game is better than the movie, but that's not saying a lot. Expand
