Cross is a highly stylized, gothic apparition, with a strong vampire-esque touch. The graphical style is quite impressive to say the least. While I have heard the Xbox version is superior graphically, the PS2 version obviously holds its own quite well. You play Jericho Cross, former outlaw turned enforcer with Dark Watch, an age-old organization bent on protecting the world against the worst of evils. It is a bit of a mix between Resident Evil and the recent Red Dead Revolver, and shooter classic Doom. Its really late and I'm beat.DarkWatch comes to us from veteran company Capcom and relative newcomer, the aptly named High Moon Studios.

Its feels every bit as good as the original Tomb Raiders 1 and 2 did,only more fine tuned control mixed with a pretty fun combat engine.ītw-sorry about the spelling. I'll just cut and paste them over to the Galleon thread later today I guess.īottom line is that for exploration and platforming this game delivers quite well. Hmm-looks like I don't need to really do an impression of the game,I nailed my thoughts perfectly here. Another plus in this game is that if you explore your surrounding areas youre rewarded with amo,health,and better swords to use later as the game progresses so those battles are dependant on your exploration skills here.

It goes well when you see a cinematic and realize that around harder to reach areas you've got villains waiting for you,so the combat is layed out well and at just the right intervals in the game. The combat engine that involves guns,hand to hand action,and sword fighting is also a nice touch to an already interesting game as it is. I guess because the control is pretty forgiving,theres no stupid delayed control that will end wth you havingto restart your area over because of an annoying death. The exporation and -platforming really do a good job of pulling you in though. Ofcourse the visuals are of Dreamcast quality,but thats forgiveable to me,because the game plays pretty well in the end. climbing over ledges,jumping,pulling outweapons in a hurry when youre in a jam are pretty easy to use as well. I'll just add that the game pretty much fixes alot of thigs that was wrong with Tomb Raider. I've got to get some sleep otherwise I'll be dead on my feet later this morning.
