The Jericho of the game’s title refers to the Jericho Team, a seven-man strike force that protects government interests from paranormal threats. Trained in conventional warfare each team member is an expert in different para-psychological disciplines, including clairvoyance, alchemy, blood magic and exorcism.
Taking the disciplines of exorcism, telekinesis and pyromania three eerie and disturbing clips were produced and leaked out under the guise of being discovered by a 34 year old American, named John. These digitised clips were ‘apparently’ part of a collection of over 2,000 hours of film and video unearthed by the individual somewhere in the USA; posing the question - ‘real of unreal?’
View the three clips and a never before seen fourth one at www.youtube.com/strangeexperiments.

I must remember to fire up the demo for Jericho tonight! Quote(2) Demo10-10-2007 07:11:55 The demo rocks. Can't wait for this. It's awesome.  Quote(3) Untitled10-10-2007 10:16:01 Wasnt keen on the demo.. yet another game where you wander around dark passages and shoot things. Controls felt very clunky in the demo.. this'll be a 2nd hand purchase for me. Quote(4) Untitled11-10-2007 10:16:28 the demo was ok right up to the awefull learn the button combinations/contect sensitive tunnel and fight section...so annoying. Quote(5) Untitled13-10-2007 18:20:37 The demo was too short and yes, the button pressing thing is out of place. I also disliked the claustrophobic tunnel nature.
Good news is that after playing quite a lot more of the game, it opens up a little and I only can across one other button pressing episode that was not as long as the two instances in the demo so hopefully its not too prevalent in the game.
It gets bloody frantic at times!
I have a feeling that some people are going to be less than impressed with the cheat/code "feature". Quote(6) cheats?14-10-2007 11:39:48 If there's a cheat that makes all the achievements unlock as soon as i put the disc in, and turns the game into a movie that i can simply watch.. then i'm there. Quote(7) Cheats15-10-2007 06:51:29 Fingers crossed! I'm right there for that cheat!
I actually got around to playing the demo last night. I can't say I was blown away particularly. Another set of dark corridors where things jump out at you go 'boo' and you shoot them. Controls felt a little off somehow, needed more aiming speed at least. Nicely animated bouncy tits on the female squad member, they must actually have been special climbing tits as she was the only one who could climb the wall when you pressed 'A' apprently. Not on my 'must-buy' list at present I'm afraid. Not with Call of Duty 4 on the horizon plus more interesting things ahead such as Assassins Creed & Army of Two. Quote(8) Untitled19-10-2007 10:42:49 I Love It! Gore moody, differnt weapons. No its not a MP game,but yes its a single player game I have been after for a while, bring on the blood and spare pants! |
