Jericho

We take on the role of a member of a special mercenary team made up of several different characters sent to investigate an abandoned town in the middle of a vast desert and neutralize the dangerous evil that lurks there. The team we control includes several characters with supernatural abilities. Three men and three women make up the Jericho team. This team is then divided into Alpha and Omega teams. As the main protagonist, we are the seventh member, Jericho's commander, Ross, who specializes in telepathy. Although he dies at the beginning, we are given control over his ghost and can possess other people's bodies. Other characters include a master sniper who can manipulate bullets with telekinesis and a clairvoyant. In terms of gameplay, the key to survival is the proper cooperation of your team members and combining the skills of the characters. The only negative thing about the game is that it requires more micromanagement than you would expect from an FPS game like this. It can become very challenging if you are not careful. The game offers an average of 7 hours of gameplay.

Product Information Author, painter, and filmmaker Clive Barker lends his writing talent to Jericho, a supernatural shooter that has players leading a diverse strike force against an ancient evil. The seven-person squad, known as the Jericho Team, is armed with more than conventional weapons. Each male and female soldier is an expert in the arcane arts, from clairvoyance and alchemy to exorcism and blood magic, allowing the team to solve puzzles and to more easily defeat a ghastly assortment of hell-spawned creatures hoping to make Earth their new playground.

Players control Captain Ross, who has the unique ability to leap into each squad member's mind and body. This talent allows Ross to use each character's paranormal proficiencies in creative ways, such as manipulating the direction of bullets or even spontaneously setting creatures on fire. Each soldier is also skilled in specific weapon types, ranging from rail guns to sniper rifles to swords. Levels will send the squad through the following five eras in its ongoing battle to stop the primordial armies: modern day, World War II, the Crusades, Ancient Rome, and Sumerian times.

Jericho is one of those Love/Hate games, especially if your a person looking for an intriguing and interesting plot. Unlike some games the stories are very bland, and i'm sorry to say this but Halo is one of them, it's the same goddamn story in parts 1 and 2, but 3 looks very different. However Jericho has a fairly interesting plot to go with it's horror genre. Although it is slightly confusing and is not explained very well or clearly in some parts, most of the time at the beginning of the game you'll feel bewildered from being suddenly thrown into a war zone.

On a brighter note, Jericho utilises some very impressive graphics which create a terrifying, yet outstanding environment, from real-time lighting, reflections, incredible detail and other various bits and bobs which make this game an experience to play. The action content is amazing, your hardly ever left in silence for long be it from the groans of your enemies, or the gunfire from allies mixed with the cries and screams of your men.

Jericho will not fail to satisfy even the most seasoned of horror genre fans.

Sometimes I just want to play a game that is completely disgusting in every way even looking at the game is disgusting it has the wets textures I have seen in my life. It is once in the lifetime experience.

The team compat is a really horrible experience because they keep on dying and has horrible 90s comic personality that I somehow got attached to throughout the game.

That are some few positive moments with the character both most of the time. They are very predictable speaking wise and the characterization is on the close, but even though if you use Minds it is a bad 90s comic that it's really fun listening to.

But the thing that sticks out in my head the reason I still remember this game even after so many years is that they send into the different layers of hell. Disgusting look of it the enemies there are pain and suffering and flesh hanging off them the story that is just so horrific and grim. It is a very good time if you can stomach it.

What the reason I want to forget it is the gameplay god damn it is annoying every enemy is a bullet sponge and in the later halves of the game. I'm grinding my teeth. 4 hours is the right length for this miserable but somehow compelling journey.

I felt the need to post about this game in response to certain negative posts involving an individual who tries to use enhanced vocabulary and over dramatic text to review this game to sound intelligent and compensate for a lack of knowledge on this game and gaming in general. I am a tough customer and hard to please when it comes to games. This title is one of the most original, entertaining, visually stunning, constant action, and creative I have ever played. The graphics do not disappoint by any means.The music may seem terrible to the listener, as it is not a soundtrack you would blast in your car, however, for the atmosphere of Jericho it is perfect. A very demonic, religious, and dark sound that adds to the mood of the game. The music is a perfect fit on every level and was orchestrated perfectly.

The character development was incredibly done. You have the option of playing as 7 different characters (in the first chapter). Then you can warp between 6, all with different weapons and abilities. This leaves no need for weapon exchange or ability purchase or needing the ability to earn or locate different weapons and abilities throughout the game. Each character uses a different weapon and they each have their own unique abilities. If 6 weapons (usually with two uses each; i.e Abigail Black has a sniper and a rocker launcher in her weapon.)and 12 different abilities ( each character has 2) isn't enough then I don't know what else you could ask for.

The creature design fits in incredibly well the description and understanding of the time era you are in, how they died, and how they were assimilated to be useful to the first born in permanent purgatory. The storyline is easy to understand and flows accurately and keeps you interested from beginning to end. The load times between levels is counteracted by giving you a small typed intro into that level and what the first born and his minions are either currently up to or why they are in the mental and physical condition they are currently in.

Overall, this game is definitely one of the most entertaining games out there. You can tell it was directed by a movie director because the game has that "movie" quality to it. This is a game you have to play to fully understand and enjoy its concepts. Reading reviews or speaking to someone who has played the game will in no way compare to the gaming experience Jericho provides.

This game gets a 10 out of 10 for me on all levels. It is definitely worth the purchase and if you are not sure then at least rent it and I guarantee you will not be disappointing in this amazing gaming experience.
