Blood II - The Chosen

Blood II: The Chosen is a horror based fps with a good single player gameplay and a fantastic multiplayer gameplay. It is the sequel to Blood, one of my favorites. You play caleb an undead anti hero. In the first game set in the 1930's, Caleb served for a dark god Technoborg and his evil organisation cabal, when he decided to leave cabal he and his lover were murdered, caleb returned from the dead and took revenge by destroying technoborg and became the chosen one. Now it is 2030 a century has passed with the caleb wandering the earth mostly minding his own buisness. Now cabal has become cabalco and its leader Giddion wants to take revenge on Caleb. You as caleb must escape from Giddion and destory him. The gameplay is very good with more than 30 levels in four episodes, The gameplay is very good though not quite as good as the orginal. You can play as four charecters, play as caleb only he gets cutsences. The level design is very good from moving trains, haunted cathedrals, hovercrafts, catacombs, science labs, high rise buildings ect. The levels are very large and a lot of fun. Some of the levels are dark and scary just like the orginal. The selection of weapons are excellent, there are more than 15 weapons from beretta, shotguns, assault gun, snipper rifles, howitizer and telsa cannon which is my favorite. some of the weapons are not as good as the orginal, voodoo doll and life leech are not very powerfull here. A big dissapoinment is you cannot carry more than 10 weapons in your inventory.

Blood II is built on the lithtech engine, I played it on the Direct3D video mode and the game runs very smooth and the level loading was very good. The graphics and charecter animations are outdated today, sound recording is just ok. The creature animation is fantastic, There are lots of scary and well animated creatures. It is a funny game, Caleb is my favorite game charecter, He says a lot of cool one liners like "When you get to hell, tell them I sent you. You can get a group discount". There are lot of black humor in the game. It is a very violant game, It has lots of red fluid flowing and many nasty sences. Blood2's multiplayer or Bloodbath as called here is excellent, there are lots of well desinged maps. you can control your charecter by arranging points for speed, strength ect. Each charecter begins the game with ten weapons of his choice with full ammo. Unfortunatly the network code is buggy, but it is a great game on Lan parties. It has one of the best multiplayer gameplay ever. Blood2 is not as good as the orginal but it is a good game.

Finally I had a small problem with the game and almost everyone with Geforce based video cards may have that problem in Shogo and Blood2. The main menu will not appear or keep flickering. Turn the vsync to always off in the more Direct3D option...

Great For Die Hard Old School Shooter Fans

It seems that when someone does a review for a shooter they can't help but compare it to games such as Half-Life. In this post Half-Life era the most common lines in reviews are "the AI is not good as Half-Life , the story is not good as Half-Life , the graphics is not good as Half-Life , the characters don't look handsome like in Half-Life, bla bla bla like Half-Life , goo goo goo Half-life". Well let me get this straight Blood1 came before this game and Monolith did a great job and decided to keep it to its original formula. These games are meant for original shooter fans who loved brain-dead enemines which come at you like flies. Oh by the way the hero actually speaks compared to a speech impaired joker going around in a hazard suit.You know what game I'm talking about.

The Chosen is a great game

If you like first person shooter games, with lots of gore and a great arsenal of weapons from flae thrower to M16 and just about anything else you can think of, then this is a great game to consider. I will not make the mistake of comparing it to Half Life, since most people I talked to about this game do not even go there. These games are different, even if the are in the same category (FPS). I personally liked Chosen more than Half Life. Let it be said that I played Half Life maybe a dozen times, but Chosen was my favorite for a dosen of weeks or more.

VERY NICE
