Based on the DC Comics/Vertigo "Hellblazer" graphic novels and the Warner Bros. film, the supernatural thriller Constantine tells the story of John Constantine, a man who has literally been to hell and back. When he teams up with sceptical policewoman Angela Dodson to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldly events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost. [Warner Bros.]

The voices are splotchy, but the character models look great and with suspense action levels so high it's usually hard to care about the poor script.

Well, I think I just finished playing a game made in 95-96. And it's called Constantine. C'mon now. Even Heretic is better than this game. The game engine sucks badly, the graphics are far from finished and the ideea is too good to be expresed in this kind of "game?". Really now, I don't know if it's a game or just a silly thing made for retarded. I admit, I played it and I did this only for one single and simple thing: I love the idea of this game. But, if I have to disregard the idea, I sincerly doubt that this can be called a game for the year 2005. Even Solitaire looks better nowadays. They had the technology to do a great game but they prefered instead to put it on sale as fast as they could and for the games made in the 90s I say: Keep playing those games. They are better. This is a game for a 4MB video card and maybe a 586 processor. I'm giving a 4 because of the idea. The rest sucks. And the programmers should be fired. ALL of them with no exception. And for the graphic team, well, all they need is a rope and some soap. You know, hanging around. Peace.

Boy, that's one of the weirdiest things I ever seen...! Brilliant ideas, the best video sequences I ever watched, great animation BUT... ...yes, unfortunately there are some BUTs ( sic! ) here: - the in-game graphics is far from what is actually on the market now...the difficult-to-render textures are replaced by smoke or dark; - the controls are weird, since you cannot actually map the keys 100% - or at least I can't do it...what's the point for having separate keys for "view" and for "moving", as long in these days, all of the famous shooters have one set only: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT along with the mouse??? - the creatures are ugly indeed, but comparing them to other creepy things in horror/shooter games ( such as Silent Hill or DOOM3 ) they're so sweet you can actually keep them as pets around the house... - the script is poor, very poor; - why the SCI guys thought that getting rid of the JUMP function, the gamer's life will radically change? Just to bang your head on every wall or gate or other obstacles, like a drunk junkie? It's pathetic... - the language is...oh my God, can you guys imagine what kind of language you'd use by seeing a demon jumpin' and biting your a...well, your "back"? But here! Oxford language...sorry, but this looks SO unrealistic to me... - the weapons sounds...strange. How the heck a shot can have an echo in a small room? These guys from SCI are reinventing physics? Geez...I don't mean to sound like the real things but guys! take a look at Splinter Cell for example to see how the weapons' sounds are there! C'mon! ...and these are the things after 20 minutes playing...God knows what would happen after playing the whole game...which is what I won't do...I'd rather preffer to read something. Don't buy it, guys...this way you won't be disappointed.

Jiji Becali C. gave it a7:
Has anyone ever heard about Sci games? i didn't.But they released this game with good graphics,but with more bugs than I have in my kitchen.Also it requires a good videocard in order to play (Don't you just hate pixelshader?!) And to think that I actually payed for this "game".i'm going to hang it on my car's rearview mirror.

Nostradamus gave it a6:
The graphics are ok,but the game lacks a good script. It's annoying because the movie clips keep appearing.The control is awful.DO NOT buy this game. There are better games out there. Constantine is not one of them.
