Presentation
Unlike other notable comic/film to game adaptations of late, Constantine does not feature a wealth of extraneous additions, but probably only because its tie is to the movie, not the book.
Graphics
Constantine is a nicely animated, detailed character, but the environments he journeys through (hell especially) sometimes feel uninspired and unnecessarily dark.
Sound
Ambient sound effects are excellent, but the combat noises and music suffer from what must be low quality compression. The voice acting is acceptable, but the Keanu clone is unintentionally funny.
Gameplay
Straightforward third-person action does little to enhance the genre. Hell and spells are underdeveloped gimmicks. The game also focuses too much on simplistic obstruction ****.
Lasting Appeal
The characters and their supernatural storyline are interesting enough to warrant an initial play through, but the game does not offer much the way of longevity.
