Interesting concept.

When I first heand about Darkwatch, I thought about one word, original. I had never thought about mixing two so completely different genres, horror and western. At first, I didn't know how this would turn out, but now that I have played this game, I found it to mix well. Playing as a half-breed vampire was something done many times before but not like this. The game itself had a chilched Wild West feel, from the stages of the game (ghost towns, salloons, etc.) to enhanced Wild West weaponary, to almost everyone having a southern accent, and the soundtrack of an old spagetti western. I could point out at least one or two chilches in almost all of the levels. The story and concept is new and something I give kudos to the developers for coming up with, and is a good first- person shooter, but could have been done slightly better. But, it gets a good grade, but not an A, for effort.

If you're a rabid fan of vampires, the Wild West, or vampires in the Wild West, then Darkwatch might just tickle your fancy. Developed by High Moon Studios (formerly Sammy Studios), Darkwatch is a no nonsense run-and-gun first person shooter that takes a lot of its queues from similar FPS games like Painkiller and Serious Sam in terms of mechanics and frantic gameplay. The result is a game that almost gets everything right, but offers an otherwise enjoyable experience. Darkwatch follows the story of a train robber named Jericho Cross who during one of his robberies manages to accidentally release Lazarus, also known as the son of Satan who makes sure to turn Jericho into a sort of half vampire before making his escape. A woman named Cassidy witnesses all of this and insists that you help her to undo this mess that you've caused. Cassidy belongs to an organization called Darkwatch who specialize in this type of thing. Jericho spends the early portions of the game making his way to the Darkwatch headquarters and prove his loyalty to them. After loyalty is proven, Jericho must set out in search of Lazarus and retrieve what's left of his soul.
