Better than most 3rd person action games, does get repetitive near the end of the game. This game isn't as good as BR2

User Rating: 7.6 | BloodRayne PC
I've played through Bloodrayne twice now. The second time like most games was a bit more boring than the first. The gameplay is more simple than in BR2. The grappling hook is just for grabbing people at you for feeding - they made it have a more useful in BR2 however. You can jump higher than in BR2 - there are a few frustrating parts near the end of the game when you have to jump around on things too much. She runs too fast, though, they slowed her running speed down a bit in BR2. Hitting bad guys builds bloodrage, and you use it to kill stuff faster.

I didn't really think the graphics were that good until I got a stronger video card and could run it in Direct3d at 1600x1200 with some filtering added onto that. If you can get it running smoothly at that, some things look as good as Bloodrayne 2 (in some cases).

In 8-9 hours you could finish this game probably. But any longer and you would be too bored to finish. Especially since the last few levels are really boring. You can usually tell when they add pointless length, and they did added some really long crap near the end which really sucked. Many of the boss fights were much more straight forward compared to BR2. The boss in the first level felt like one of the hardest... I cheated on the last and final boss because I wanted the game to end. I tried a bunch of times and just gave up. I ran out of guns and health each time... they made the last boss a crappy battle. At that point, you just want the game to end anyways. Savepoints are sometimes a little too rare at times. I hate to redue whole levels because of one mistake. Load times are fast. And the levels are fairly huge too. About the same size as Bloodrayne 2 it seemed. It's a short game, but it's fun killing nazi's, the lack of attacks like you have in BR2 make this get boring quickly unfortunately. Last but not least. Theres a juggy cheat that makes her rack bigger. Fantastic.
