Atari Australia has announced the Xbox Live and Games For Windows demo for their upcoming release, Clive Barker's Jericho, is now available from the Xbox Live Marketplace and the PC demo is available from the
Atari website or from the official Codemasters
Jericho page. The PS3 demo will be available from the PlayStation Network from October 4.
Clive Barker's Jericho dispatches players to the Middle-Eastern city of Al-Khali. Controlling the Jericho squad, a team skilled in both conventional and paranormal warfare, players fight through different time periods from the city's history on a gruelling journey to unravel the legend of the First Born, God's first aborted creation of man and source of ultimate evil.
Thrusting gamers into the heart of this unique horror FPS, the demo is taken from the time of the Crusades in Al-Khali's past. A vicious attack has divided the squad, with one half presumed lost. As the demo opens, players join Sergeant Billie Church, Lieutenant Abigail Black and Sergeant Frank Delgado in the blood-drenched sewers and catacombs of a fortress.
Sounds decidedly Clive Barker. We'll be grabbing the demo and sharing our thoughts on the game in the coming days (so if you don't want to waste bandwidth yet, just hold out for the AusGamers Jericho treatment).
Update: Now available locally
right here from AusGamers Files.

This demo has really raised my hopes for this game. Great graphics, fun gameplay, twisted story with equally twisted enemys. Radical!

There is nothing i can see in this demo that is even remotely good, for me. Its also a terrible port, the graphics are just average by todays standard. I enjoyed Doom 3 more than this, and I didnt really enjoy that!
As the others have said above, there is nothing new here and its actually a lot worse than some recent games. The AI has no brain, and its simply a zombie killing fest.. if you enjoy that mindless clicking.
