Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Gaming’s sexiest assassin is back, and Xbox has her! BloodRayne returns in all her crimson-haired, twin-bladed glory! Majesco brings the tale of the half-human, half-vampire, and all-woman secret agent into modern day with a brand-new story line pitting her against the most dangerous foe she could face: her own vampire father.

This version of the deliciously deadly heroine really pushes the power envelope. Ms. Rayne still sports her signature forearm blades, but her speed and combat ability is greatly enhanced, thanks to the newest version of Terminal Reality’s Infernal Engine. Her arsenal has improved considerably and now includes upgradable shotguns, energy rifles, and explosive devices.

Her attacks aren't any less formidable this time around, inflicting harsh damage on her foes. Blood Rage is back, joined by the punishing Blood Fury and the even more devastating Blood Storm. Her vampiric heritage also augments her aura vision, allowing her to locate hidden areas and sense infrared clues. She’s got some nifty new talents as well, including the ability to send out a spectral version of herself to acquire blood from a distance.

Product Description

BLOODRAYNE is on the hundt again. But now she stalks her own flesh and vblood thorughout the city under seige. Her sibling unite to create a VAmpire Supremecy

5.0 out of 5 stars Sucks even better than the first., October 29, 2004

This review is from: BloodRayne 2 (Video Game)

I liked the original "Blood Rayne" OK. I thought the graphics were actually sub-par for PS2 - slightly better on Xbox of course - and it was fairly short and easy. But how could you not have a fun time with a character who can suck blood for health, use the victim as a human shield, and fire over his shoulders all at the same time?

Then I heard "Blood Rayne 2" was coming out, and I figured I'd check it out and see if the developers had actually managed to improve on their concept. I was in for a nice surprise. This game ROCKS. Rayne has been completely retooled, with much better controls (I always found L1 for the blades pretty awkward) and a camera system that lets you 360 around her with ease. The slightly washed-out graphics of the original can't even compare with "2" - Rayne looks HOT, the levels are beautifully rendered, the enemies are well-designed if a bit repetitive, and the fatalities are SICK "Kill Bill" style extreme blood and gore, guaranteed to freak out your parents. It's easy to get the hang of the moves, and you can potentially get all the practice you'd ever want - the enemies just keep coming and coming. True, you can't jump quite as high as you could in the first, nor do you have your little spin at the end, it's just a conventional but sturdy double jump. Blood Rage is also far less dramatic, but still pretty lethal. Once you get the blood guns, the strategy of the game basically involves making the most of the way you slay your enemies, rationing their life force between yourself and your weapons and feeding your Blood Lust by executing fatalities. You can also get creative with the harpoon and rack up "Carnage" points by whipping enemies into spiky objects - these "environmental" kills eventually earn Rayne Health and Rage upgrades.

Another feature that I personally love is Rayne's ability to smash practically everything around her into smithereens, with accompanying loud sound effects. If you're like me, nothing's more fun than destroying the virtual china cabinets in the mansion levels - except possibly slicing the heads off the debutantes. And you HAVE to check out the various themed outfits - my favorite is probably "Schoolgirl Rayne," especially hilarious when she's sliding down the poles.

Overall this game is really so different from the original that it's barely even a sequel. Some of my friends didn't like the first but they love "2," and maybe vice-versa for some people. Seriously, since they'll probably never make an actual "Kill Bill" video game, this is about as close as you could get without legal action occurring. Whether you liked "Blood Rayne" or not, I highly recommend you check out "2" - I doubt you'll be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars ok..now this is more like it., October 19, 2004

This review is from: BloodRayne 2 (Video Game)

In my review of the first BloodRayne I listed some things that I thought the first one lacked..like graphic consistency. There were other things I wished the first game had as well. Lik eI thought that it was a shame that your perspective was only behind Rayne..since her character model was the best..but I also thought that the action was too focused around guns..and not enough blade action was going on. Also I thought that in the first game, Rayne herself seemed very stiff with alot of her motions. In what I've seen for myself of this newer version all this has improved, and the control of Rayne herself had improved GREATLY. It's now fun just to run around, jump and slash objects, let alone play the game. So this game no longer feels like a vampiric version of Max Payne, but more of it's own game ok..so the borrowed a little from Prince of Persia..but I think it's awesome. I can't wait to see how this series continues to develop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prepare to get your bloodlust on - again!, October 6, 2004

This review is from: BloodRayne 2 (Video Game)

Have recently had the opportunity to try out a BloodRayne 2 playable demo. Here are some first impressions.

First, the bad news: gone are Rayne's 180 degree quick-turn, spiraling kick-jump and her ability to drag victims to her to feed on via the harpoon. And, while she is still able to jump greater distances than mere mortals, no longer are they the ludicrous, yet eminently satisfying, terrain-telescoping leaps of the first game. Whether Rayne re-acquires any of these abilities later in BloodRayne 2 remains to be seen.

Now, the good news: Much more precise control over Rayne's abilities, including a lock-on target mode and separate buttons for kicking and slashing; Rayne's harpoon can now be used to hurl enemies as well as pulling bits of scenery down on top of said enemies; Prince of Persia-style pole swinging and vaulting, including the ability to perch on top of poles; Tony Hawk-style rail grinding, during which, Rayne can extend her blades out to her sides to dispatch any adversaries unfortunate enough to be standing at the bottom of a rail; "Kill puzzles" to advance to the next stage, solvable by catapulting foes into, say, a giant fan or garbage truck with the harpoon; gruesome fatalities which, when executed while feeding, will cause Rayne to perform on her foes such lovely acts as decapitation or hoisting them aloft with her blades as they beg for mercy before being eviscerated; Blood-powered weaponry which can be refueled in tandem with regular feeding; Blood Rage, Aura Vision & Dilated Perception have all returned as well, though, thankfully, the annoying Extruded View is absent. The graphics and level detail are considerably more robust than those of the first game and Rayne herself moves and looks more lusciously than ever.

Yeah, great features, but how does it play? Well, I can happily report that , taken all together, it's a blast and I have practically worn out my demo disk of BR2 playing the same stages over and over, refining my techniques in anticipation of the game's final release. The controls are relatively easy to master, so you'll be able to crank out the carnage in no time flat. This is going to be a worthy sequel.
