Too much bad press for such a great game.

User Rating: 9 | Vampire Rain X360
First of all, one thing I hate about this game is all the bad press it gets. A majority of all the reviews on this site and others organizations rated this game terrible. Personally I don't think this game is really all that bad. some people might say that this game is a Splinter Cell and Metal Gear rip-off....well it is.....but I don't have a problem with rip-offs as long as they are done well. The story in this game is pretty basic: Nightwalkers are taking over the city and the government sends in a squad to deal with supernatural beings. Like I said, very basic. I think the level designs are well done. They don't stray too far from something
Splinter Cell might have. There are several different ways to navigate through these levels too. Like jumping, crawling, climbing poles and ladders, rappeling, and using a zip line. The voice acting in this game is just okay. I don't have a problem with any of the lines that are spoken but the words definetly don't match the lips. The graphics in this game are not that bad. The environment and textures for the objects are not that great and are definetly on the lower end of the graphics spectrum for 360 but the character models in this game arre outstanding and the rain effects on the player bodies are very realistic. The sound is fine. Spooky music and foreshadowing sounds make the game tense. The difficulty for this game is hard. But hard in a good way. I mean this is a stealth game. When the trailer for this game came out I will agree that this game did look like some run n' gun acton game. I think that the reviewers made a big mistake on how they rated it. If your gonna run through the levels and try to kill every vampire in sight of course your gonna die. That is point of this game. Stealth. S-T-E-A-L-T-H. Find a way to navigate through the levels without being detected! Overall I think that if Artoon spent a little more time on this game they could have worked out the very few flaws it had. This game was great and added a new genre to the Xbox 360 game collection.
