Darkwatch Description

Darkwatch, the debut title from Sammy Studios internal development, is a cinematic 1st person shooter with an original premise that blends Vampire-Horror and Western genres. They grind their enemies for fuel, fashion their skin into protective cloaks and create weapons designed to exterminate en masse, and they are the good guys.
They are the Darkwatch, a vigilant strike-force that has protected man from evil incarnate since the dawn of civilization. Their newest and deadliest agent is Jericho Cross, an outlaw gunslinger pulled into their ranks by an unfortunate close encounter with a vampire lord.

To save the West, and his own soul from damnation, Jericho must hunt the vampire through an American frontier now overrun by his evil minions. Along the way he relies on his deadly gunfighting skills and advanced weapons and vehicles put at his disposal by the Darkwatch, as well as a few surprises afforded him as a half-vampire; superhuman abilities and a trusty undead steed.

Delivering tremendous game play variety and set in a visually sensational depiction of a haunted Wild West, Darkwatch promises to be one of the upcoming years most exciting video game titles.

excellant game ,sure its simular to all first person shooters but the story is excellant the gameplay is also excellant and because they are zombies or dead in one way or another the AI is virtually perfect you don't expect them to come up with clever tactics yet this game very scary and difficult in places because they use bombament ,throwing all they have..enemies get harder,new upgrades are unlocked which help shift the tide of battle. do you go for evil or good powers or a bit of both ,choice is yours,assuming you can get all of them eventruly but only on 10th level the AI,gameplay and story of single player shames halo 2 greatly..however no one is ever online with this game so can't tell if online mutiplayer does or not but i really like this game
