Amazon.com Product Description:
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.

- An Interesting game
This game is great! Single player, i don't know i have never played it single player, but i would be the judge if i was going to... I played this game with 2 friends and wow we played hours and hours and hours. Maybe it was just not being alone part for video games. There is only one person i dont like being on this game and its the girl with daggers, i totally used her 2 guns and just popped off peices and made it easier for my friends to kill to much moving and shooting with her. But i was only her once and then i was like F it and made a rule where i wasnt her again. This game is great the story is good, a lil hard to figure out. You go through weapon ammo quickly with special weapons. But i love this game and forever will.

- Definitely more fun with friends
I'm a pretty big fan of Role Playing Games, I tend to try and experience all the varieties that are offered, just to at least experience something new and different. Hunter: The Reckoning is a little different by RPG video game standards, but it's hardly a revolutionary game. I think this is the first time I've come across a table top RPG converted to video game that did not allow the users to upgrade the characters on their own. Now, I haven't played the table top game, so I'm not entirely sure how that system worked, but I'm willing to try it out.

On top of this the story line involved demons, and I tend to like things of that ilk, so I thought this might appeal to me. I must say the story line wasn't as well done as I thought. It certainly can't compete on the same level as something like Diablo, which is really the premeire game for killing demons in my book! The background story felt kind of random and thrown together, but the game play and challenge factor kind of saved the game.

The background story basically consists of this: There was apparently an incident at a prison many years ago and your characters were there watching a murderer be executed (no idea why) when all of a sudden people around them turned into monsters. They faught their way out and boarded up the prison, today they have returned because the ghosts/demons or whatever have returned to feast on the souls and bodies of people throwing a rave in the prison. Seriously... who throws a rave in a prison? A fairly loose premise of a video game, but in the end your characters have to lock the spirits back up and save the world!

As a single player game Hunter: The Reckoning sucks and has virtually no value to me, but play it with a few friends and it actually becomes pretty fun. The game is challenging in some areas and you have to sit down and strategize with your friends. I don't think this game has endless hours of fun, because after beating it, you're kind of done with it. The game took only two evenings for my friends and I to conquer, and the shortness is the only reason why a replay is viable. I would say, in terms of replay value, you can only go through it twice before it gets really boring at the most. The camera control really does kind of suck, I saw some reviewers touch upon that. I do realize that as a game designer camera control problems are tantamount in a multi-player overhead RPG. I really think the programmers could have handled it a lot better and really should've gone in a different direction.

Overall I thought this game was pretty fun, but only when I played it with a few friends. I gave it a three overall because of some design flaws, the weak storyline, and not being able to level up your character on your own. Maybe I'm just picky, but I've come to expect a lot more from RPG's thanks to very epic games like Diablo, Knights of the Old Republic, etc. Pick this up you're looking for a multiplayer game to get together with a few friends and delve into a different world.

- Good game for lovers of monster-killing and quests
I'm new to Xbox games,but I got this one because I like dungeon-crawls/shooters,ala "Diablo 1,and 2." I found this game to be even more addictive than Diablo,something I thought I could never say.
The graphics are pretty cool.The sounds,music and voices are suitably creepy.I have only been able to play single mode,but have had a lot of fun killing all the available enemies.If I could only find another 56 year old who would like to play!!
The quests are well thought out.The placement of "items to find" isn't too difficult to master.The quests are not very easy by yourself,which is fine with me.
I just love the game,and will replay it often.

- Single player fun....but with friends EVEN BETTER!
I played this game in single player mode and to me it seemed like a mix of Gauntlet Dark Legacy, with the edges that resemble magic, and Resident Evil with the whole zombie slaughtering shoot em up game playing. You get some awesome weapons like high powered rifles, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, crossbows, pistols and shotguns. You also get magic to either blow away the enemies or healing yourself. Single player really is pretty difficult and fun, but with friends it is totally kick @$$. If you're into these types of RPGs then you will beat it with a friend with average difficulty. I gave it a four out of four because the camera angles can be annoying at times when approaching the enemy and it is lacking in graphics. BUT, it is an older game so whaddya expect. Have fun...

- Must have Xbox Classic
This game has been out for a while. Part II is even out, but this one is great. It's a 1st gen Xbox game that you should own. I went through the entire game with a friend and we had a blast. You can have up to 4 people at a time play and the mayhem just keeps on comming.
