Released in 2005 by SCi Games for Xbox, PlayStation 2, and PC, Constantine is a third-person shooter and adventure game based on the film of the same name. Players control occult detective John Constantine as he investigates how demons have crossed physically into the earthly realm in defiance of ancient supernatural law. Combat draws on an arsenal of holy weapons and artifacts, including twin revolvers called the Witch's Curse that fire stones from the Holy Lands, Holy Water Bombs, and a Cross Shotgun. Constantine can also channel offensive magic fueled by the souls of defeated demons. The perspective shifts to first-person when moving through confined spaces. Levels are linear and progress sequentially, adapting the film's storyline with some expanded sequences to accommodate additional action. Certain obstacles require Constantine to travel to Hell, depicted as a burning, decayed mirror of the modern world.
