Product Description

Product Description

Clive Barker`s Jericho is a squad-based action/horror game based on an original concept and story by acclaimed horror writer and film maker Clive Barker.

The most ancient of evils has broken through into our world and is threatening to spread its taint across the whole of the earth unless it`s stopped. At ground zero lies the Middle Eastern city of Al-Khali, a modern city built atop the ancient ruins of a dozen previous conquerors. All attempts of contacting the citizens of the city have failed. With tensions already running high in the region, this is just the sort of thing that could trigger the apocalypse

In Clive Barker`s Jericho, players assume the role of the leader of the Jericho Squad a seven man Special Forces strike team that protects U.S. interests against paranormal threats. Each member of the squad is an expert in modern warfare as well as their own different para-psychological disciplines, including clairvoyance, alchemy, blood magic, exorcism, etc.

Players must lead the Jericho Squad into the flaming ruins of the city, moving block by block towards the dimensional rift tearing away at its heart. Along the way, they encounter the horrific armies of hellish denizens that now rule the city and corrupt everything they touch. As players incrementally approach the source of evil, they will have to rely less and less on traditional weapons and instead focus on the combined psychic talents of the Jericho Squad.

2.0 out of 5 starsToo easy, too dull, not worth it really until is' 9.99 or less...
By MortalMuppet on 15 Nov. 2007
I've been playing FPS since the original Wolfenstein and Ultima Underworlds and since then i've played a lot of the PC FPS

The Demo looked pretty good, i did get a bit annoyed with the 'follow the arrows as you fall down the pit' routine which is very similar to console games such as Tomb Raider: Anniversary and Resident Evil 4. Annoying on a PC as you don't expect it..

So i had this on order and when i turned up i played it. Took me around 10 hours to complete it and that was on hard level... hard should be hard, and it wasn't.

Here then is a list of what i like/don't like about it.

But i'll just say it's a 4/10, it had so much promise and then just didn't deliver.

Pro's
1. Average Graphics, lots of Gore (and i mean lots), plus nice looking Demons and of course a German Talking Female Demon in one section.
2. Story seems pretty good and i presume this is down to Mr Barker.
3. You can switch between which character you want, and use their Powers (Characters have weapons and magic abilities, ie Slow down time, stun enemies, nuke them, fire a single ghost bullet that you can aim...etc)

Con's
1. You can only save at set points (Check points). I started to think this was a good thing but later on i had some massive fights, then another boss, then another fight and died, so i had to repeat this process a number of times.
2. Each level may look nice (from the perspective of the fact that you're in hell) but it's a rinse and repeat system. You seem to have a large map, but the NPC's will follow the linear path and will not follow you around if they know you're going to a dead end.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot as bad as I was expecting
By Chris VINE VOICE on 20 Feb. 2008
Verified Purchase
At less than full-price, this could be a lot worse.

Undeniably, the game is very linear. The dreaded invisible walls, last seen in Call of Duty 4, are back and they've got lots of friends. At maximum detail, the graphics engine in this game is stunningly good looking (or revolting, depending on what it's displaying), and terrifically atmospheric. This makes the linearity all the more of a shame, since there's nowhere to go or explore in all the scenery (and some of it simply is scenery; you can look, but you'll never be able to get there and it's all for show.). The in-game audio is also extremely good, unsually worth a mention - orchestral music and high-quality sound effects add very nicely to the tension.

The check-point save system does add to the game's difficulty in places, and can be a little frustrating, but I found "hard" difficulty to be about right. The "survival events" can be quite difficult (you have to hit the directional buttons in a tightly-timed sequence), but, some of them really do add to the story (e.g. you'll perform an exorcism in one of them). The variety of abilities offered by being able to switch around the squad is good, although there's always the temptation to pick a favourite and stick with them. However, since the game will occasionally force you to use one character, you do need to acquire some flexibility by playing with all of them at some point or you'll find certain sections unduly difficult.

The real star of the show is the storyline, however, which is actually pretty adult and and compelling. If you unlock the extras (e.g. get 50 headshots on "hard", or blow up 250 enemies etc.), you get extra little bits of exposition which really add to the story.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsUnderrated
By ShammyB TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 1 July 2009
Verified Purchase
This game got fair reviews when it came out. On Metacritic, it gets `Mixed or average reviews' from game review sites/mags, and a score of 63%. More tellingly, the average user review is significantly higher, at 71%. This second score puts Jericho in the `Average' category, and confirms what I believe - that the game was heavily criticized by a vocal minority and the game review sites, but is actually a pretty solid game.

Now here's the big point. Those scores were based on the full price release. At the moment, Jericho is selling for 2.73 (I only actually bought this game to make up the order cost high enough to get free postage when buying a paperback book!). What's even more surprising is what you get for your money; a recent A-list game.

Jericho has very high production values throughout: good graphics, a brilliant music score and sound effects, and good character development and storyline. I actually played the game all the way through, and enjoyed it much more than some other games in the same genre (I enjoyed it much more than Doom 3 for example - I got so bored in D3 that I actually stopped playing it).

Yes there are issues. The game does suffer from bad squad management in the early levels ( the early levels are too cramped to make use of the squad switching, and there is no actual need to switch between characters). Later in the game, the levels open up a bit more, allowing squad tactics and specializations to become more useful (plus you see puzzles appearing that require you to switch characters), and the gameplay therefore becomes more interesting. Jericho also suffers from some repetition, but this is offset by a good storyline.Read more ›
