Clive Barker's Jericho - Xbox 360

came brand new in perfect condition

Jericho doesn't have the extensive playability as some of the big titles out today do, but it is definitely one game that I'm glad I didn't miss out on! Jericho's dark and twisted atmosphere keeps you wondering what mutated form will be lurking around the next corner, while each character's unique set of weapons and magical skills keeps your mind running to figure out which combination of force to use to survive each horrifying encounter. Grab this game as soon as you can, and enjoy! :)

Clive Barker's Jericho is a first person shooter horror game that has good graphics and a great storyline from Clive Barker and Codemasters. This game is for mature players (blood and gore, strong language, sexual themes and intense violence parents should be aware) and I will honestly say this isn't for everyone who are into FPS games, there isn't much in the way of exploration. It is a very linear game but as far as atmosphere and story goes I found it to be very enjoyable. I'm a big Barker fan and this was one of the first games I bought when I got my xbox and regreted trading it in later on. The game's plot is that when God was trying to create life for the first time he created something that was neither man nor woman and resembled a child. Called the first born it had the power of that of God himself and God was not pleased with his creation so he locked the first born away in a pit on earth. Becoming angered at being cast aside so God could create humans, the first born has tried over the centuries to escape. Using the humans to try and create a rift so it could leave its cell, the first born has been banished back into its hole while taking a part of the human's own time line with it causing layers within the prison. I won't give away too much of the story but the game starts in present day and a new storm has risen as the first born is trying to escape once again. The player journeys as the Jericho squad, a special forces group specializing in the paranormal, through each layer of the first born's prison. With each level complete or achievements gained the player is awarded with files being unlocked that can be accessed at the title screen that explains characters and places within the game which help build the story. As I said this game isn't for everyone but if you enjoy Clive Barker's work and a good horror game give it a try. The price is great and its a good game to have in any Clive Barker collection.

Swift shipping at an affordable price! I am a HUGE Clive barker fan, so I had to obtain a copy of this game! The game came in great condition and the shipping was swift with no issues. I would also suggest you obtain a copy for the 360 instead of the PS3. I have played both versions for both systems and the graphics on the 360 are by far sharper and clearer.

FUN game

Looking back, I've got to to say that I have yet to find any game developed or published under the 'Codemasters' logo that I've truly enjoyed. I've come across quite a few and I've tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, picking up and playing through most of them. The end result for pretty much all of them left me with the feeling I get when I take a bite of one of those fluffy French pastries with the powdered sugar on top; sort of sweet but filled with nothing but air and really messy at the end. They try, but just don't seem to have the revenue or the skill to match their convictions. It's too bad, because I'd be more than happy to give them an 'A' for effort. GAMEPLAY-1 Star For this type of story, I'd almost think they shot themselves in the foot by turning it into a basic first-person shooter, and the way Codemasters seems to do shooters is to have you wander down corridor-like areas and literally SWAMP you with wave upon wave of enemies at periodic intervals. Kill all of them, travel a little bit further and repeat. For this type of concept, a Resident Evil style of play would be better in my opinion. Make it a little slower paced but more suspenseful. After all, it's supposed to be horror, not straight bang-'em up action. And the action is mind-numbingly dull, meaning walk forward, pull a trigger, walk forward, push a button, open a door, walk forward, kill everything that's not a team member while avoiding exploding demons and barrels. Yawn. That style of play tends to lose its impact for me very quickly. STORY-4 Stars According to the story, before God created Adam, He created a prior, sexless entity named the Firstborn. Indescribably powerful but apparently viewed as a flawed creation by its maker, the Firstborn was left abandoned, banished from its Father's sight, to wander alone in a barren nether realm. Jealous of the attention that it sees God lavishing on humanity, it resolves to destroy man and recapture God's love for itself. It breaks through to our world at the site of Al-Khali (roughly translated from Arabic as 'The Empty Quarter'), an ancient abandoned city of the Middle East. Strange sightings are reported from that area along with unusual weather patterns, prompting the deployment of a special team of soldiers to investigate, each gifted with their own unique supernatural ability. It quickly goes south from there. GRAPHICS-5 Stars The visuals of Jericho are incredibly detailed. This is the most immersive aspect of the game that I've found. The creatures are grotesque, the zone in the desert you find yourself in is convincingly remote and forlorn and I LOVE the effect when, after one of the demons is killed, a swarm of flies flows over the body to devour it. I find myself playing the game just to see that at times. Your team members and the demons are also very intricate in their design. SOUND-3 Stars The ambience is wonderfully rendered through the sound effects, music and dialogue... at first. It quickly becomes repetitive after the first few levels. There are only a few points where the dialogue wanders off the beaten path. That kind of thing only serves to remind me that this is, in fact, a game. REPLAY-1 Star I have found no way to get anything different from going through this game more than once. It's the same areas, the same enemies and the same non-witty sarcastic remarks from your team members each time you pop it into your console. I DO try to get something different out of each game or movie that I watch, but this one just didn't manage to draw me in enough. OVERALL-2 Stars Again, sadly, the idea behind Clive Barker's Jericho showed promise, but poor execution marred it beyond any hope of true quality. Unless you're the type of person that enjoys simplistic gameplay, this game will probably leave a void where satisfaction is supposed to be. And I have a feeling that that's EXACTLY what the Firstborn wants.

Es uno de los mejores juegos de terror de todos los tiempos, altamente recomendable la historia.

I should begin by stating that I am not really a fan of first-person shooters, and the fact that I enjoyed this game as much as I did should say something about how great it is. I have been a huge Clive Barker fan for many years, so when I found out that he was involved in the creation of this game, I had to try it. I was slightly worried about all the negative reviews, many of which made some valid points about the flaws of this game. I can honestly say that I DID spend quite a lot of time healing the members of my squad, and I died many times throughout the course of the game. Certain parts frustrated me to the point where I turned it off for a few hours, but I always came back for more. The graphics are not the best, but they are more than good enough to convey the dark, disturbing world you find yourself in. It is beautifully sick and twisted in a way that only Clive Barker could accomplish. I won't say it's scary per se, but it was pleasantly disturbing. The story is great, although the ending could have been better. I thoroughly enjoyed this game, and would have given it 5/5, but I felt that there were a couple flaws that prevented it from being perfect. It took me a while to figure out how to play effectively with all of the squad members, and there were parts in the beginning that were too dark for me to see clearly, even with the flashlight. I also feel it would have been better if it wasn't first-person. All in all though, I would definitely recommend this game to any Clive Barker fan, or anyone who enjoys supernatural horror-themed games.

他の人が書いてる通り、世界観、映像の美しさ、どれをとっても素晴らしい作品だと思いました。 ストーリーや、6人いる主役のキャラクター達の個性も良く出来ていて、本当に最後まで楽しめました。 ただ、難易度が簡単すぎます。headにしても簡単すぎてちょっと残念でした...。その上ストーリーが短いのであっという間に終わってしまいます。もう少しあの素晴らしい世界観に浸っていたいのに...って感じです。

Excelente producto, prácticamente llegó nuevo, sellada y con el disco intacto.

Me encanta 👍
