Darkwatch (Xbox, 2005)

Pros
+ A unique twist on the 1st person shooter.
+ Being able to use vampire powers, a sweet melee, & a real sense of unloading your weapon on an opponent.
+ Huge multiplayer maps for on or offline play.

Cons
- Driving is not as fun as you want it to be.
- Choosing between good & evil doesn't really explore consequences.
- Trying to find a game online. Host advantage.

Comments
Darkwatch has some interesting game elements. This is no basic 1st person shooter. Your team of soldiers is useless but all of your powers make up for it. Jumping is also major fun because you can get a ton of air time. There are quite a few memorable boss fights & rail shooting from your horse. It also has a pretty good story & some nice cutscenes.

Verdict
Must play for any 1st person shooter fan or anyone looking for something different.

Darkwatch spins the tale of Jerico Cross, an outlaw looking for his one last big score. Bit by a vampire the race is on to cleanse his soul or meet certain death. This first person shooter offers a good storyline, good grapics, XBOX Live and gameplay but sadly that's it. With a serious lack of side missions and upgrades it's hard to give the green light for the retal price. Definitely one of the better vampire shooters but if that's not your thing it's better left as a rental at best.

This game was awesome, in fact when i first saw it I thought "Oh great another boring, gory, lame vampire game" but once i played it I thought this game was one of the best games ever, sweet guns, cool powers. Oh i also liked the split ending, and how you could choose to be evil or good, I thought the bad guy ending was cooler, but I thought the good guy ending fit better. ya awesome game buy it for a great time, and if you own this game and you're bored go to the level with the ghost town, its better and funner to do this with a partner, kill a regulator and hideout in the buildings killing regulators, and see how long you can last without both of you dying at the same time, very fun

This game offers the chance to use many different weapons. The graphics are vivid, the locations vary. Each battle/encounter/situation offers a different challenge. Firing pistols while riding a galloping horse full-tilt across the prairie was quit entertaining. A constant challenge, this game was entertaining, exciting, and a little scary.

Xbox video games are the best due to the mature content and way the story unfolds along with the graphics. Sheer blood and guts and kill everything that moves is the way i enjoy my xbox. I beleive in the "ratings" system and also parents should monitor the games their childern play. I know the difference and enjoy the non-reality based games against all odds.
