Editorial Reviews :
There is evil everywhere... most people just can't see it. Monsters are hiding among us. They are our babysitters, our policemen, our bartenders, even our friends. Once you realize it's around you, there's no way for you to ignore it; messages are sent and magical powers are received forcing you to realize that your only job now is to take back the world from the monsters that seek to destroy it. You have become a Hunter!
Set in White Wolf's World of Darkness, Hunter: The Reckoning is a third-person action-shooter where players take the role of one of four unique hunters: Deuce, a biker ex-con; Father Cortez, a prison chaplain; Kassandra, a raver chick; and Samantha, a tough ex-cop. Armed with a variety of fearsome weaponry, players will battle it out with a plethora of supernatural enemies. Go it alone or team up with up to three other players on a crusade against evil. Nonstop heart-pumping action combined with outstanding graphics bring the true spirit of Hunter: The Reckoning to life, and give players a taste of the World of Darkness.
Buyer Reviews :
Hunter: The Reckoning is an addictive, fun game for Mature players do to violence, gore and mild language.
The jist of the game is a simple hack-and-slash made even better by the graphics capabilities of the Xbox.
The Good:
Graphics are strong, and though the lighting is dim their is a brightness option in the game. The enemies/enviroment look great, and the blood effects are nicely done.
For a hack-and-slash there are enough suprises to keep things interesting.
The enemies may start out stupidly walking into your guns, but by the middle of the game they are quick, agile and shoot back, requiring you to develope some strategy if you want to survive.
4 Playable characters with their own unique strengths and weaknesses.
Special weapons to pick up along the way.
Sounds are done well.
Fun, Arcade feel.
The Bad:
The game play is challenging, but the boss characters are nearly impossible. And there are NO cheats! This game can be really hard, and the bosses can be really frustrating, even while going at it multiplayer.
The introduction of Edges (spells) is ok, but there are so few of them, and only one character has a heal Edge.
Would be nice if your character's Hit Meter/Edge Meter would slowly refill over time.
Continues should be easier to get, especially in Multiplayer.
The Ugly:
Your characters cannot aim up or down effectively, which means that you have to be on level ground with your enemies in order to hit them. This can be really annoying when fighting on hilly terrain, or over broken concrete, where it will seem your bullets pass right through your enemies. You can also not shoot through gates or over fences, and your character can obviously jump high, but not over anything.
