Darkwatch: A short but very satisfying action shooter

Strengths: Really nice graphics; intense action; cool Western-horror theme and storyline; can play as good or evil

Weakness: Pretty short game; limited multiplayer options

Darkwatch is a run-and-gun action game that takes place in a cool Western-horror setting. You play as Jericho Cross who has vampire-like abilities and battle hordes of monsters and zombies. Although the game itself is fairly short, it's very fun while it lasts. With crisp graphics accompanied by catchy Western tunes and explosive sound effects, you're in store for a very intense experience....

darkwatch

Strengths: cool vampire abilities

Weakness: somewhat short game

Darkwatch is one of the many the first person shooters out there for the X box. What makes it unique is that it combines both the wild west and evil vampires. While other shooter games may be about the military , it is fun and refreshing to play in a darkened and different environment. You play as Cross, a hapless train Robber who unwittingly releases an evil Demon who then transforms him into a...

A fast paced first person shooter that delivers!

Strengths: Tons of action, good graphics, immersive sound

Weakness: Vehicle controls are hard to get used to

I'm not that big of a first-person shooter fan, but Darkwatch has such in-your-face action all the way through, that it feels a lot more like an arcade game then your usual first person shooter. Enemies will pounce toward you and get in your face like in a House of the Dead game - they are very aggressive and will make you pound them with constant shots or flee from some areas. That's not to say...

Solid FPS with unique angle

Strengths: Good story, control setup and some fun missions

Weakness: Few enemy types, pacing feels odd, little replay value

Darkwatch actually has a story, and while it doesn't feel fully fleshed out, it can be engaging. But this is really a single-player fps, without deathmatching or co-op modes. So it needs to stand on the merits of that story, and the experience conveyed, which I felt was uneven. As a vampire, you slowly accrue powers and basically choose either to be good or evil. Aside from a few different...

Darkwatch

Strengths: Great atmosphere, interesting weapons, nice graphics, good controls

Weakness: Somewhat short

Darkwatch is an excellent first-person shooter for the Xbox that mixes westerns with vampires. The whole atmosphere for the game is very good and the graphics really bring you into the game. The weapon selection is varied and extremely satisfying to use. The controls are tight and should be instantly recognizable to anyone who has played Halo. The storyline is dark and intriguing and really...

Bloody Good Time!

Strengths: Awesome theme. Smooth gameplay.

Weakness: No Co-op. Short.

Darkwatch is a really fun FPS that plays alot like Halo. All of the cool weapons you get have a melee attack, even the Bazooka! This game also has vehicles but they are not that great since they are not implemented very well. Since you play as a vampire, you get cool vampire powers that come in handy. The graphics and audio in this game are very well done and really help create the overall mood...

Darkwatch

Having been delayed for quite a while and then in a state of videogame limbo, Darkwatch had finally been released on the Xbox and fans of first-person shooters will finally have an Old West shooter worthy of the Xbox. Yes, there was Dead Man’s Hand but it was a seriously flawed shooter and the very entertaining Red Dead Revolver was more of an action-packed third-person shooter, but where else...

Darkwatch

When it comes to first-person shooters, there's a new sheriff in town. And this one has some pretty sharp teeth.
