from Wal-MArt Summary:
To tell the truth, i was a little dissappointed in this game. not to say it's bad, just lacking. I got it because i really like vampires, and was always dissappointed with the Castlevania games. this game is better than they were, but it has problems.
First of all, the monsters suck. they don't look scary, only gross, and except for in the cut scenes, they don't look like much of anything at all. the people look very good however, and they say lots of stuff. the guys in Louisiana were funny, and it feels great to slaughter a bunch of Nazis. when you jump on they to feed, they'll yell at you and scream, "Get her off, get her off," to their friends. very neat. of course you look great. also, you can jump like fifty feet in the air, which is refreshing after all those lame jumpers from other video games.
No multiplayer, which hurts. This game would rule with a cooperative mode. Biggest problem, it's too short. I whip through the levels and cut down the bosses in no time. the only thing which ever slows me down is getting lost, which happens a lot and can really suck.
But now on to the good. when Rayne feeds, its awesome. that right there makes the whole game for me. If you aren't a big vampire fan though, you might not be so easy to please. i feed all the time, even when i don't need it, just cause it's fun. It's also way easier than sliceing apart all those hords of Nazis.
Your weapons consist of your swords and your spiked (literally)heels, which are used in a variety of attacks. you also have a harpoon to capture prey, but thats not half as fun as jumping on them while their alive and useing them as a human shield while they scream to their buddies for help. you also have a plethora of guns. now i'm a bog World War Two buff as well, and i was escited about all the Nazi weapons. but alas, all the collecting and selecting of weapons is done automatically. also, when a gun runs out, you discard it, so you can't hang onto guns you like. oh well. the auto aim is, hands down, the best ive ever seen. she'll stand there and shoot ten different guys in a row, half of whom you can't even see. she can also aim while running, strafing, or jumping, and can shoot in two directions. and she never misses.
As for a change of pace, the only one so far comes when you get to drive a Nazi Supertank. My God did that suck. it was like playing Mechwarrior eight: Mech Retierment Home. The thing moved like an old lady on a walker and couldn't aim at all. i hated it! other than that, same old same old. run, shoot, feed, slash. nothing else. Report this review >>
