Notable artwork for a mediocre game
Leave it to Capcom to produce a fantastic piece of artwork for a mediocre game. Darkwatch was basically a Call of Duty clone set in the Wild West with a gothic setting. You’ll blast vampires, demons, skeletons and the like, in a mind-numbing and loud adventure.
Other than that. There is little to say about the game itself. It became very popular because of a particularly graphic sex scene between the protagonist and a lady vampire. Although not extreme by any measure, it was groundbreaking for the moment, but about 10 times less famous than the hot coffee scandal of Grand Theft Auto III: San Andreas. I don’t remember a single magazine talking about Darkwatch’s sex scene.
