A great game ruined by death & lots of it!!!

User Rating: 7 | Clive Barker's Jericho (Limited Edition) X360
Clive Barkers Jericho has the opportunity to be a great game if only it wasn't plagued with death.

You'll find yourself spending most of your time trying to revive your team-mates whilst exploding monsters go on a suicide mission and want to take you with them. And all of this is set in 30+ levels of tight spaced tunnel like paths.

Good times? not so much.

That is unless you find out what makes this game playable, not easy, but definitely enjoyable.
Cheating.
Now i'm not one for using codes to gain health or unlock levels etc, but unless you want to rip out your hair and feel like giving up on the game, the only way to turn Jericho into a great FPS are two words: Dominator Damage.

It just makes killing the monsters that little bit easier.
Without it you have an annoying, frustrating, time-consuming game.

CBJ is fun and at points a great joy to play. It is not however scary, not ever, not in the slightest.
If you have played games like Condemned then you will realise that this is the equivalent of a nursery rhyme about loveable skeletons.

Still fun though.
