get a life Really though, Yahtzee is at his best when he's taking the piss out of a game or gamers and only that. Massive Black.... that's so wrong in the best way. |

That is so wrong, and so awesome at the same time if they get away with it. Anyway, good review Yahtzee, i thought i was the only one that thought that making a game realistic meant coloring everything brown. |

Not particularly. I appreciated the Psychonauts review which was generally favourable. |

You didn't like being able to kick all your enemies off cliffs into the conveniently placed spike racks? |

Copy Clerk Posts: 75 Joined: 12 Sep 2007 | Great, very funny review (the first minute or so had me in stitches, especially that "magic-pimped" soldier and the granite octopus). As fate would want it, I happened to play the Jericho demo yesterday. I can only agree with the "whack-a-mole" statement - after about 10 minutes of play, I realised that all I needed to do was kill an enemy, then stand in the exact same spot, wait for the next one to arrive, kill it too, and repeat until things stopped arriving. Move to next spot until the demo is over. Not the kind of "gameplay" I'd pay money for. It looks like you didn't enjoy the flakturms in this game either, Yahtzee ;). By the way, you missed the godawful checkpointing. Ooh, and I'll pitch it again: consider reviewing The Witcher. |

Paperboy  Posts: 14 Joined: 12 Nov 2007 | Somewhat enjoyed the demo for this game. A shame to hear it's just another flop. |

Paperboy Posts: 16 Joined: 6 Oct 2007 | i had the same impression with the demo... definitely not worth the time it takes to play, and most definitely not worth anything over 5 USD |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 124 Joined: 7 Nov 2007 | PC Gamer (UK version) had rated Jericho badly, so I was prepared for Yatzhee to violently maim it. Then again, the UK version of PC Gamer is quite strict with it's ratings. |

Anonymous Source  Posts: 8 Joined: 28 Mar 2006 | I enjoyed the review. It reinforces my decision to rent the game for a night rather than buy it our right :P. Also, Yahtzee, keep up the good work. Your videos are a great asset to this site and I always find them fun to watch. On another note I downloaded your game. It was a fun play :). |

Anonymous Source Posts: 3 Joined: 14 Nov 2007 | Well done yahtzee! Another hilarious review. Hate to sound even more sad than your 'shenmue' case, but I feel a compulsion to correct THEM. It was FIRST done on Die Hard Arcade, that 3D scrolling beater of about 12 years ago. One more thing - I know in your previous review that you said Fantasy World Dizzy was the greatest game ever made, but just wondering why not Treasure Island Dizzy or (dare I say it) the original Dizzy. |

Agreed. Please review The Witcher. |

Nice to hear that SOME version of that damn magazine has a rating schedule not tied to the depths of the developer's pockets. |

You missed the Simon Says game. The demo has a simon says game as well. And whilst I actually quite like those if they're well done and unobtrusive, Jericho's are among the worst I've encountered, because they're really long and the commands are issued with such speed that you basically have no choice but to memorise the entire sequence if you want to succeed. |

Anonymous Source Posts: 9 Joined: 19 Sep 2007 | Top form. Wait, weren't the Simon Says button sequences originally done in Dragon's Lair and its ilk? Shenmue stole it from them while improving it; God of War stole it from Shenmue without really improving it. Say, wasn't Simon Says popular in the early 80s? Is the video game industry just a front for an enthusiastic yet sick bunch of Simon Says fanatics? |

News Room Contributor  Posts: 3809 Joined: 12 Nov 2002 | Damn. I'd heard that Jericho was on the wrong side of good, but as something of an Undying fan - another Clive Barker game by Clive Barker that tanked - I was hoping there'd be at least enough in there to tide me over for awhile longer. |

Yeah, the UK version has almost facistly-high standards. If you look on metacritic, usually the UK version always rates differently from the orignal and more than likely rates lower. |
