    • Constantine - Pretty Fun and Freaky

      • The game stars the main character from the comic book series, Hellblazer, John Constantine, as he learns about the problem: unholy animals are somehow crossing into the realm of earth without care. He is then sent by his associate, Beeman, to investigate this problem. Along his investigation he meets up with Father Hennessy, who provides support, along with the Storm Crow spell.
        The game starts out as John is called in to dispel a unkind soul from a human's body in a hotel. After the ritual is completed, the woman wakes from her hypnosis, feeling better. The screen then cuts to Beeman's office, where John is being informed about the weakened line between Hell and Earth by Beeman. John then steps into a puddle in the corner of the room, utters an incantation and winds up in Hell.
        John sees people being chased and attacked by demons, and then sees them coming for him. He, depending on the player's choice, uses his gun, the first part of the Witch's Curse set, to slay them. He then starts searching around Hell for the first piece of the Holy Shotgun, while seeing the horrors of Hell with his own eyes. As he searches, more innocent souls are attacked and more demons are seen fighting against John. At a dead end, he finds the second gun for the Witch's Curse set, but is grabbed by a bird-like demon (Seplavite) and flown through the skies of Hell. He is dropped and then is ambushed by a hoard of demons - just in front of the holding stall of the Holy Shotgun piece. He then uses the water ampule he was carrying and gets the hell out of the Hell.
        The screen then cuts to a half-breed's bar deep within the dark alleys. John tells the bartender about what he saw in Hell, then gives him a tarot card that bursts into flames. John leaves to find Hennessy but, somehow, demons attack him in the darkness. After a few more attacks, he finds Father Hennessy and tells him about the horrors of Hell. Hennessy tells him about Thomas Elriu, a dead angelic half-breed, who, for some unexplained reason, died. Before John leaves to find Elriu's apartment, Hennessy gives him the powerful Storm Crow spell to defend against attacking demons. John then jumps a fence and sets off for Elriu's apartment.
        After climbing a stairwell to the top floor of the apartment complex, John searches for the keys to the door that leads to the elevator. He sees weird symbols on the walls of Elriu's apartment and in a secret room where the keys are found. He opens the door and sees a disturbing sight:a demon half-breed and a dead human. After confronting and killing the half-breed, two cops and Father Hennessy step out of the elevator and, while the cops search the area, Hennessy walks with John through the top floor of the apartment complex. After showing Hennessy the symbols, John informs him on where he is going:the basement.
        In the basement, John finds a locked door and starts searching for the keys to the door, while experiencing the usual demon attacks. After a dark sewer maze, John finds the keys but encounters another problem:a bunch of cables have created a slight barrier of electricity that blocks his path. To get past them, he needs to find a generator. He uses the keys to open the locked door and finds a storeroom inside. John's second weapon, the Crucifier, is found inside the storeroom, along with a message from Elriu, stating the use of the Crucifier and one informative message:"If you are reading this, I have already left this plane".
        Now equipped with the Crucifier, John searches the rest of the storeroom, finding a grate that leads to the generator room. He shuts off the power and heads for the blocked area, which is filled with water. John utters the incantation and is sent to Hell. This is just a summary of, essentially, the tutorial and Chapter or Level One.

      • Where to buy it - #mce_temp_url# <- Playstation Version #mce_temp_url# <-XBox Version [it was made for the original XBox, but the 360 has a downloadable patch so you can play it on your 360 as well] #mce_temp_url# <- PC Version. Sorry, I did check on Steam, but they didn't have it! ;( I have played this myself and I enjoy it immensely! I dare say I had waaay too much fun starting from the easiest difficultly and working my way up through the hardest LOL. Plenty of jumpscares and such for first timers!
      The Earth without Art is just Eh.
      Avast, I am a pirate. Don't be offended when I curse like one.

      So Reggie how does this post make you feel?

    • LOL is that good or bad?? I love purple, it's my fav. color, I'm sorry. If it's causing eye-pain let me know and I will change it or something.

      @Dragonlord, it does have it's weird moments, not gonna lie. When you go running through a morgue killing demons so you can eyeball a dead guy to see what he saw right before he died...that's weird. But then again...that's also John LOL

      That and having a dead guy get possessed by a demon,. sit up and say all freaky like "We've been waiting for you John!" is a little weird too. I made my mum laugh til she hurt herself when she watched me play it and I got to that point because he shut up and I said "Really? Good, because I've been waiting to put my boot through your face. SHUT UP!" She loves watching me game because of the things I will say while doing it.
