This it's a great game, the visual effects are stunning, and the AI of the teammates it's not that bad.
Being able to go into your other teammates gives the game a lot of diversity.
The only thing which kind of disappointed me it's the ending, but I guess it leaves the game open for a sequel.
Promising, dissapointing

What really worked here is the sense of being trapped in a Clive Barker world with sick S&M characters that cause nothing but bloody chaos, and they're the good guys.
Unfortunately the game has about 10hrs of play the first time through, mostly because it takes that long to A: figure out the controls are not only simpler than they seem but that only two characters are worth playing and B: the damned press "up up down up left left right down up up" sequences will cause you to turn the game off and play something else and then re-do the level later.
The second play-through will be two hours on the hardest difficulty setting.
The "cheats" that cost you $6.00 on-line are a cheap way to steal from gamers. Only the "unlimited ammo" cheat is worth it, you won't notice the others, and only because one character has a grenade launcher and the game is sooooooo much fun if you just walk through and blow everything up with her!
The game looks like it should play like Halo, grab cover, figure the best way to defeat an area and do it! NO! It's more just keep killing what pops out and walking. Eventually you clear the area, walk on. Walk on. Walk on. Walk on. Walk on........................................
That's all you do, shoot, walk, shoot, walk.
It looks neat, but not special. There's maybe ten, fifteen monsters and a few easy, easy, easy bosses. Lots of blood and rot, but little else.
"Undying" was a better conceived game in the Clive Barker world, but neither game works because they each lack what the other has. "Jericho" is easy to play, clean interface, tight controls but no story, no puzzles, no exploration. "Undying" was hard to play, lots to explore, bad controls, wimpy hero. Niether has a Clive Barker worthy story.
What we need is "Weaveworld" "Imajica" "The Great and Secret Show" FPS RPG's!!! That would be best way to bring Clive to the game world.
I hate to say it, but Hellgate and The Witcher are better games. Even Halo is a better game.
Excellent story

Whole game is in FPS style, even the cinematics and cut scenes. Excellent story. Sad ending though... overall was worth it in the end. although the game is only playable in storyline mode and has checkpoint saves only just like GRAW. still fun though, very unique.
