Just finished getting through Darkwatch and let me tell you it is well worth the time and money to play this game. Overall I would rate the game a 8.5/10. Could have been higher, but the only things holding this game back is the multiplayer and the length of the game. Other then that the game is great! The graphics aren't 'blow me away spectacular' but they don't make you're burn either. The player detail and textures are pretty good. All in all I would give it an 8 for graphics. The sound is pretty cool in this one and the voice actors don't make your ears bleed. The background noise can be freaky at times and throw you off of where the baddies are. If you have played Doom 3, it has the same idea with screams and faint talking in the background. Sound gets a 9/10. Now on the the make or break for games, gameplay. I thought capcom and high moon did one hell of a good job with this one. They threw in the good or evil choice with this game, for the most part it has no major affect on the game, but there is one big decision that has to be made that determines it all. It was a nice touch. Being good or evil changes the powers that you will learn though out the game. They also threw in a different ending depending on which side you are on which was a nice touch. The game moves fast and there are bad guys everywhere especially the last 3 missions. When you are done you will wonder how you did it. The boss battles are tough and long. Its is tough to throw all you got at a boss for a few minutes and see you only did about 1% of damage. It is cool to have a boss battle that seems impossible like the old days of NES. The gameplay does get repetitive, but show me a game that doesn't. I give it a 9/10 for gameplay. I am not going to spend to much time on the multiplayer part of the game since in the game I didnt spend to much time with it. Nothing special, just your basic modes (ex:deathmatch ). I didnt get the game for the MP so it doesn't factor to much into the overall score. MP gets a 7/10. Only beef with capcom and high moon, the PS2 has a co-op mode that the xbox should have gotten as well. Why it was taken out, who knows.The game was great, a ton of fun and it does have replay value as well. So 8.5/10 for Darkwatch.
I had anticipated darkwatch since it was announced in 2003, so i may be a bit bias. Though not the best shooter ever, Darkwatch give shooter fans something new instead of constant military and sci-fi games. Darkwatch is ... Read Full Review
