Clive Barker's Jericho Demo Impressions

The Clive Barkers Jericho demo is finally available on the xbox live and PlayStation network. In terms of storyline, the game transpires in a location called Al Khalid. Al Khalid is imbued with all sorts of clairvoyant activity. When the United States discovered information regarding all these supernatural occurrences, they sent in a team known as the Jericho squad to investigate. In the demo, there are various characters that have uncanny powers that they can manipulate.

These powers can range from teleportation to firing projectiles. One playable area in the demo was a dark and gloomy cave. There are odious looking adversaries scattered throughout the area, so make sure your hand is on the trigger. The demo begins with three people from the Jericho unit. There is Franks Delgado, and he is equipped with a gatling gun and can utilize fire. Another character is Abigail black, and she is a sharpshooter with her sniper rifle. Furthermore, Abigail can use telekinesis to move objects and foes around.

The gameplay applies navigating through places with your teammates. Gamers can switch to different characters on their team with just a push of a button. Orders can be given to your teammates as well. For instance, telling the team to hold position will result in the team holding their position. Your teammates do what they are told to do, and the ally artificial intelligence works eerily similar to Socum. Moreover, individual orders can be set to each team members at will. There are some contact sensitive moments in the game (ala God of war and Heavenly Sword) as well.

The graphics and audio were solid. From the looks of the demo, the game seems to be more than a rudimentary first person shooter. Although the game was not frightening, it did have some engrossing gameplay elements. Clive Barkers Jericho is slated for an October 23, 2007 release date.
