How Metascores Are Calculated
|
FILM: 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.]

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

Nothing Earth-shattering, but respectable, much like the film. [Apr 2005, p.61]

The unique abilities of Constantine and scary atmosphere that Bits has established will make your mouth water, but you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who can tolerate the shoddy gameplay. [Apr 2005, p.120]

Much like Keanu's performance in the film, it just goes through the motions. [May 2005, p.82]

Cheat Code Central
A no-frills game. There are no unlockables and no extra modes such as multi-player online modes. It's not very long and the gameplay is not entirely original.

Edge Magazine
Constantine’s narrative is compelling enough, and some excellent puzzles save it from the ignominy of being yet another average third-person movie tie-in, but only just... Yes it’s uncomplicated, but still an engaging realisation of the source material. [Apr 2005, p.99]
