This game wants to be a horror game,but it is not...
Well the story begins well.God seems to have fistly created some creatures that he had entraped in an underground city,& in every historical age there have been Jericho teams,who had to kill those creatures.But they failed.So your team has to go there & kill every monster.Helluva story,I can't say... so...
Story-3/10
Of course,a Codemasters game surely has to have great graphics,& Jericho makes no exception.The environment is very detailed,well textured & with cool effects & all.It's no Crysis,but still great.The only thing wrong is the brownish theme in all the levels...it gets boring & it's not scary at all.
Graphics-9/10
The sound?Mediocre is the perfect word.Above mediocre,okay. Decent music, bad voice acting & abysmal environmental effects.
Sound-7/10
Hmmm.Well,except having to kill all those monsters & the ex-Jericho members,there are some other interesting & bad aspects.First of all you get to control every team member if you want,& they are equipped quite different & have different special abilities.You won't get attached to any of them,but I really liked the sniper ability that lets you control the bullet in its way so you can change its trajectory & kill several creatures with it. But it's boring after a while.& the level design is absolutely awful.
Gameplay-7/10
Maybe they thought that a game full of ugly monsters is a horror game.Well , it's not... There's no feeling in this game,I don't know where I've gotta go,I just kill all the monsters I see without even getting scared or feeling something special. In Call of Cthulhu-Dark Corners of the Earth,my hands were cold & shaking on the mouse because of the atmosphere the game created & the fact that it made me identify with Jack,the main character,even if there are few "ugly monsters" in the game.Here is nothing like that,nothing special at all.Not even the atmosphere Serious Sam or Painkiller created.
Atmosphere-2/10
If you want a great Clive Barker horror game,play Undying.If you wanna try more top quality horror games,than try Call of Cthulhu-Dark Corners of the Earth & Resident Evil 4. Leave Jericho be.
