Much better than the original Bloodrayne.

I liked the first Bloodrayne, despite its boring parts near the end of the game. This game is much better than the first one. The fighting engine's depth has been increased. You can use your bloodrage at anytime instead of waiting for it to be at 100%. Feeding is well used by combining different fatalities that give a large boost to the rage meter. The music is better I thought. I don't recall much music in the first game. The graphics are well done if you are to look at the size of some levels - and the lack of loading times. Rayne's uniforms are all unlocked when you finish the game. Rayne, more shiny this time, thats ok.

Around 11 hours I spent playing BR2. Slightly longer than the first Bloodrayne, which took me around 8-9 hours. The storyline is much better than the first one. You don't get to kill nazis in this one though. The voice acting was very good, as in the first.

Combats fairly good, its not nearly as repetitive as the first one. Sometimes you'll get pissed when your fighting a boss and they hit you when you think your nowhere near them. Lots of bosses in this game, and most have certain ways of killing them. Usually your rage powers can take down the easier ones fast and tear them up. The worst boss fights are near the end of the game. They are so boring, and sometimes frustrating. The last couple levels, feel a bit crappy - frustrating bosses, long stretched out levels - just seemed like a half assed job to make the game longer.

Based on the improvements over the first bloodrayne, this game should please anyone who even slightly liked the first. The controls are much better on the console version than on the PC version.

In cut-scenes I didn't see Raynes lips move when she talked, it was pretty terrible. In the first Bloodrayne game, she talked and moved her lips. This really made it look cheap.

    Rayne: lethal beauty.

    If you’ve already met Rayne, you should know what is expecting you. This beautiful and sexier than ever “dampyr” (half human, half vampire) is well known because of her bloody ways, and she’s also one of the best videog... Read Full Review
