this is the worst game I've play on the PS3 yet. the AI for your squad is the worst I've seen in a long time since they rush to die so easily its ridiculous and they suck at killing enemies i spend more time saving these idiots than fighting. if i could give this thing negative stars I would
Totally Sux is a better rating!!

Can it be that bad?

Totally unimpressed with this game. One of the worst PS3 games I played. As others have stated you spend more of your time healing your team than you do fighting. Actually you can watch you team during parts of the game and they'll be shooting off in different directions or facing the wall. Blew chunks is an understatment.

Do not buy this Game

Jericho: Lots of Potential, Bad Development

Well, at first it was a nice concept for a Video game, but in the end the game it's too damn linear and the history doesn't make it up, bad ending that leaves you with more questions than answers, could have been a lot better.
Good Eye Candy and Sound, but as i wrote before the lack of freedom and development of the history as a whole just made the game worse, it does have some replay value to get unlockables but those are just some kind of files on the characters and im not sure if it worths the effort, at least for me it doesn't.

Really disappointing

The story involves the 7 member Team Jericho--a supernatural-based special forces squad that goes to the desert to stop the evil lurking within it. It's a solid story with decent graphics that's badly hampered by poor game development. I spent most of the time bringing my fallen comrades back to life and this really drags it down. It quickly grows very repetitive and tiresome. The visuals are pretty good, but the backgrounds are mostly unimpressive--lots of bland tunnels and stone corridors. Although I read the bad reviews I like Barker's writing quite a bit and wanted to give it a chance. It wasn't worth it. If you're interested and just have to play it, do yourself a favor, rent it... and then go buy one of the many much better games out there.

Too much going on to have any fun

Although I haven't finished it yet, I'm well into the game (no idea how close to the end, but with some exceptions PS3 games tend to be on the short side) and have been through several sections when your magical abilities come into play.

They ruin the game, frankly. It's a great idea - each member of the team has unique weapons and magic. It ruins the game for one simple reason - in almost every situation where you'd like to make use of magic (basically, every fight), things are happening so fast you don't have time to switch characters and cast. Also, most of the time half of them are knocked out before you even have the chance. With one character's arm-mounted minigun, which should be a butt-kicking weapon, it takes 700,000 rounds to kill an enemy. And that's just the non-bosses. Playing on easy.

It does look good. Some complain the surroundings are a bit repetitive, but you are in a desolate ruin, not some nearly pristine relic site like in a Tomb Raider game, so to me it fits. The enemies look good and are genuinely mean, and the way a swarm of flies appears and whisks their corpses away was a pleasant surprise. It's great for fans of the gore factor, too.

If this had teammates that don't die at the drop of a hat, gave you a little more health to work with (you die a lot, and die, and die, and die, again and again and ag...), and paused when you bring up the character select, it would be a much better game. Maybe it would even be better without the magic, as a straight ahead shooter. In any case, it simply fails to deliver on its concept.

I'll definitely finish it (or try to), because it certainly does have its good points, but won't be keeping it. The team system is badly flawed and what magic they do have isn't all that fun to use anyway. Taken simply as a shooter, there's nothing special about it. I'd say rent or buy on the cheap.

Decent Fun

I played Jericho for the PS3 and bought I because I enjoyed the demo and was despirate for a FPS for the PS3.

The good:
Its fun
Difficulty settings are appropriate
Graphics are cool
Controller is easy to learn

The bad:
At times too dark to see your surroundings
Short
Game favors some characters with certain powers
Not as interactive as other next gen games (can't jump or pick up items)

Great Game

The only flaw this game has is that there is no multiplayer or co-op options. Otherwise the game has great graphics, an intriguing story, and awesome weapons and powers.

a good game, in time for a good scare

Clive Barker,,, what can be said about the well known writer? A leading contemporary mind behind horror movies (as director) Hellraiser, Lord of Illusions, and many more written novels, plays and games.

Jericho on the PS3 has beautiful graphics; don't be put off by the start of the game. I felt, on the first stage, during the desert infiltration through the ruins that the textures were a bit dull. But soon after, it got better with magnificent lighting and graphics.

The darkness of the environments is great, very eerie feel to it. But the ambiance sometimes suffers, although not much often, when the action heats up, it just fades and blows out with all guns blazing.

They say some replay value is there but I am yet to finish and go through the game again.

Except for some finishing issues the game is pretty much a 75 out of 100, 3.75 stars ;)

freekin awsome
