BloodRayne

Well if those appeal to you, then Bloodrayne is definitely the game to check out. Now I understand that the graphics are a little outdated (even when it came out) but I don't seem to care, they aren't terrible. There are a lot of things you can do in this game weather its acrobatics, shooting guns, sucking blood for health while using them as a human shield or you can slice them apart with blades as long as your arms. Now the theme of killing Nazi's does seem old. Wait a minute....Killing Nazi's can never get old!

I personally loved the storyline and the game (...). Some people say that when bloodrayne is feeding it sounds like she is having "fun". Well what else would it sound like? shes trying to chug lots of blood very fast so she can continue killing and not get hit. Just think about it a little bit.
The only problem that I had was the dialog in the video segments. Like if some one were to say "Rayne, go kill those zombies". It would say "Rayne, go kill tho" and then it would jump to the next part. Now this bugged me for a while but I adapted rather quickly, I just read fast. Now I know I am not the only person with this problem because I took the same game and installed it on a friends computer and it worked fine. A problem that occurred on both of our computers was that during the blood rage, there would be this red line that appears in the middle of the screen on the right side to the center. If anyone knows how to fix these problems please post them on a review. Other then these 2 problems this game was great and is very fun, especially if you are into things like the occult. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy a good story (with violence) and as for those who were not satisfied with the graphics. Bloodrayne 2 is in the works as well as a Bloodrayne movie. Laura Croft can kiss her sorry old a$$ goodbye.


blood, violence, gore, and a vampire chick with huge swords.... a gamer's paradise :P   November 9, 2009

i saw the movie before i played the game... but in comparison.... the game is way better! they always are.

the graphics are great, well, maybe not great, just good. but i love all the cool effects... they're soo awesome!

the story is based on vampires....well, a half human vampire, who is trying to find the man that killed her mother. and you get to go to really cool places.... though it's set the late 1930's... but who says that killing nazis with huge deadly swords can't be fun:P

the gameplay is really easy to get a hang on.... and it's rare that i like the combat styles on any games....but this was really fun!

the music was kinda creepy...but i liked it. actually the whole game was kinda creepy....but i love creepy :P

the replay value is amazing!!! i played the game like 16 times... and i never had any problems.

if you love hack and slash action games, blodsucking incuded :P.... i recommend you get this....NOW!

My only 2 gripes against this game -
1)the graphics are out of date. This game is running on a game engine that is 2 or 3 years old.
2) Again we are fighting NAZIS!!!! Yikes...is this subject beaten to death or what?

That said, this game is unique.
You have to get in close to your enemies to kill them. No sniper rifles, no rocket launchers. You do get guns and once in a while you will come across a German bazooka. These are limited at best WHICH IS GOOD!!! It keeps you focused on what is important...your vampire skills. Your skills advance and grow in power as the game progresses.

You cannot save as you go. You can only save at the end of each level. Yes, this is frustrating, but it makes you try harder than other games. The close ups of her bloodsucking frenzies is a blast, the dialog is actually funny, clever, witty and made me laugh out loud at times.

This game will run nicely on slower computers. The music was actually fun to listen to during gameplay. Try playing it with and without the music for added fun.

Overall, BloodRaybe is not going to blow anybody away like Medal of Honor, Halo, UT 2003....but it is well priced, enjoyable, clever, and the game lasts more than 5 to 7 hours like many of the games out there charging $50!!!!

In this game, you play a half-vampire who recharges her energy by drinking the blood of her enemies. After the first level, she gets a harpoon to draw them to her to feed. That part is really neat. Otherwise, it's your typical FPS. Your character defaults to blades, but can pick up guns and use them for a limited number of shots (you don't find ammunition). You can only save at the beginning of levels, but each level tends to be pretty short.
The game starts pretty slow, but picks up after the first few levels. Check out the breast enhancement cheat for a good laugh.
About the Nazis - Nazis are the perfect enemy for FPS games because (a) they actually existed - the developer doesn't have use any creativity or imagination and (b) everyone agrees that they were the bad guys (except a few nuts out there who we all agree are wrong). In the FPS context, it's not like the plotline really matters much anyway.
