Slightly disappointing to fans of the first game but still worth a buy
It was eery, it was disturbing, it was voilent and tasteless, It was Blood.
Fantasic level design, destructive weapons, disturbing enemies and black comedy...not everyones cup of tea but a great game for fans of the horror genre.
In late 1998 a sequel was released
Blood 2: The Chosen
and that is what i'm reviewing right now.
So lets get on with it.
Gameplay - Fans of the first will be slightly disappointed here as Blood 2 is kind of linear and theres much less exploration to be done in the levels.But don't worry as some of the levels are pretty well designed and include nifty little secrets.The voilence,monsters,guns and black comedy are still here with Calebs witty tasteless one-liners,some rather amusing phone-calls,a huge arsenal of destructive weapons and buckets of blood.Some of the enemies suck like the new cultists, they need to look more cultisty and not like a bunch of secret agents.The multiplayer is just awesome but some levels are pretty sucky and small. So 8/10 here
Graphics - The graphics are good.Most of the models and textures are what you'd expect from 1998.Better than Half-Life but not as good as Unreal.
Sound - The ambience is great.The monster sounds are sweet and the weapons sound crisp.Sadly the music sucks and theres only 5 tracks.
Overall - A good game but a disappointing sequel to Blood.Worth the buy though.
