4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent fun and the price is right!!!!, December 9, 2003

SBJ400 "SBJ400" (Mt. Laurel, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: BloodRayne (CD-ROM)

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1)the graphics are out of date.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!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved the Recharge, April 29, 2004

This review is from: BloodRayne (CD-ROM)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced and lots of fun, May 1, 2004

This review is from: BloodRayne (CD-ROM)

This game is extremely enjoyable in its short lived, 7-10 hour, single player campaign.

The guns and blade moves all look terrific, especially her blood lust and slo-mo vision. The game is very gory and some of the slow motion death scenes are so over the top theyll make you laugh.

However, what keeps this game from 5 stars is its repetitive gameplay, 3 settings and each level on the same setting is very similar, and its short gameplay. The game will take you 2-4 days to beat and sadly there isnt much replay value.

But for its cheap price the game cannot be beat in terms of its quick and satisfying play.
