Really Awsome; Unexpected

User Rating: 9 | Clive Barker's Jericho PC
The game I just got halfway through on STEAM.

Surprisingly, the game is actually a very smooth and fun game to play.

The graphics are deep and plentyful of gore. The game's mood is instantly set from upon a new game as the stage is set for one hell of a trip through hell. While I had played the demo, it ran crappy even on my SLI 8800 GTX rig, now as retail version it runs like it's nothing! It's so smooth and only FPS breaks when loading the next area. Loading times inbetween each stage is surprisingly fast.

The game's story is pretty decent and deep as far as I've come. The voice casting definitely puts the story into great perspective. (I love Captain Ross' voice actor as he did the anime s-Cry-ed and Company of Heroes) Up until my point in the game, about mid way, the story definitely has entertained me. Not many do.

Gameplay wise, the game can get really fun surprisingly. The demo got me worried as it seemed clunky but again - that was the demo. Now it seems that the gameplay in FPS/Horror genre has almost hit the nail on the head now. Swapping between each character to get different abilities is a fun aspect.

The audio is on the spot with my 5.1 surround sound setup with X-Fi Fat1ty Gamer card. Everything seems so lively. With the bass and speakers up high, the lights off, you can't go wrong with the game.

So far, the game has yet to disapoint me in any way. I'm glad I bought the game off STEAM and the date was set back to today.
