The short version: A pile of steaming shite, avoid at all costs.

The long version: A story thinner than water, character interaction so unbelievable that you won't believe this team has been together so long, enemies so silly that you'll literally think this "horror FPS" is a comedy parody, and combat so easy that you'll yawn your way through the extremely linear and boring levels. The graphics are also very meh.

The Nazi enemies are particularly enjoyable though, the stereotyping is so thick you can cut it with a knife. "YOU VILL DIE HERE VIZ UZ, YA."

The only good thing about this is that I bought the PC version so I paid a hell of a lot less than the full-priced 360 version. If you enjoy mindless FPS games that hold your hand all the way through and have little to no story, I'm sure you'll enjoy this. On the other hand, if you have a brain, you won't enjoy this.

Verdict: 1/10

AVOID

I enjoyed the demo on the 360 marketplace and the Jericho website is very well made. So I believed the game would have the same level of polish.

It didn't.

It was pretty clear that the game was going to be awful, haha.

1/10 indicates the game is unplayable.

I give it a 5/10 at absolute lowest, only because the AI is fucking retarded.

Were demons too ambiguous? You just had to to put in Nazis?

The only, ONLY acceptable time it will ever be to use Nazis will be the most evil game ever created, and then only by necessity.

Movie games always suck regardless. Indiana Jones did it before it was cool, so it was Nazis as a staple, and not as a generic villain.

As well as the one based on the third movie.

The adventure, not the action one.

My thoughts exactly.

This game is so bad I can't even be fucked to complete it. I'm just going to watch the ending on YouTube and sell this pile of shit on to some other unlucky bastard.

[EDIT: Hahaha the ending is crap.]
