Clive Barker's Jericho tries to set its little place along the big FPS's out there with little to give.

User Rating: 6 | Clive Barker's Jericho PC
The Good : - Cool character cast. - Nice first persion immersion effect with head shaking and context sensitive may be hit or miss.

The Bad : - Some characters are rather useless and some abilities have just no use at all, context sensitive action is hit or miss. - Stupid story - Loading screen every 20 steps. Short campaing with no reason to play it again.

Graphics : Jericho's Graphics are not exceptionnal but they're far from being bad. Some great lightning effects there and there, good artistic direction and nice weaponry adds a lot. But it's nothing we never saw before.

Sound : Generaly great cast of voice actors ( except Delgado's who simply don't fit ; imagine a bald viking guy with a soft latino voice ) , amazing sound effects and chilly chorus.

Features : Not much. You can unlock bio pages for characters and monsters, but nothing worth the look. Once you're done with the campaing, you can try a harder setting, but chances are you probably won't on this PC version.

Gameplay : Pretty standard FPS with some akward but working controls for weapon costumisation . You can swap from characters to characters to have a new set of weapon and abilities, but generaly you'll end up using the same character unless you're force to do differently.

End note ; Jericho isn't bad, but the ending leaves you on a huge cliffhanging, and since you probably won't understand why you are teleporting from historic area to others while slaying grotesque demons and stuff, it doesn't make any more sense. The game is a little bit too short and you'll see about enough different enemy types to count them on your fingers. It's not bad, but it's not very impressing either.
