I bought this because it was recommended to me by a friend as i love horror games. It was cheap enough (£5) and i loved Clive Barker's previous game (Undying) so i bought it. Basically it's nothing special - totally run of the mill and very much lacking in atmosphere - not what i have come to expect from Clive Barker at all. It's very drab and looks like every other grey/brown tinged first person shooter on current gen consoles. It's not especially bad but then there's nothing to keep you hooked either, it also falls foul of some of the worst stereotyping that seems so prevalent in games nowadays. For instance the charachters comprise of the typical action game bunch - attractive women dressed in skimpy outfits, massive bloke with a huge gun - basically if you had to design video game charachters for an audience of 14 year old boys then these would be the ones you came up with. So basically it's cheap and definitely playable, just don't buy it expecting a horror game that is going to be tense, creepy or scary - it's an uninspired plodder that never departs from a generic template. It's actually not a horror game at all, a more accurate description would be "action game with occaisional good bits".Read full review
Clive Barker's Jericho is an inconsistent first-person shooter, alternating between moments of pure, atmospheric greatness and irritating design paradoxes that suck the fun out of the gameplay. For every incredible set piece--a battle in a Roman gladiator arena, fearful attacks by ghostly children--there is a frustrating sequence that puts every shortcoming in the game proudly on display. There's a lot going on, and sometimes it comes together exquisitely. More often, Jericho's various elements get in the way of one another, creating a game you'll love one moment and hate the next.
A decent FPS, which although a little dated still warrants at least a play-through. Dark, atmospheric and several jump out your seat moments. As you can now own this as cheap as renting it, well worth buying!
