Overall: Not Impressed

Good:

Pretty Graphics

Ok Story

Bad:

Saving while playing the game not pratical, but can be overcome

Spells are completley useless in battle (there was no time to casts spell other then an occasional heal spell)

Group Problems:

- There is no control over your group in battle

- Group constantly geting stuck behind walls and other objects

- Group wastes ammo and mana

- Group would constantly get themselves killed by charging into large groups of creatures

- I was eventually forced to leave group at zone entrance and solo the zone, calling on the group only when needed

Basically a hack at it until it dies game

Very abrubt ending

First off, as you have no doubt read before, this game has nothing short of amazing graphics. That is the good. That said, it's time for the bad. I feel like I'm playing Duke Nuke 'em. No it isn't the same engine or a first person shooter, but the point is the same. Kill. I am so sick of tapping the mouse pointer on vampires, ghouls and rats I could scream. Anyone who has played or even read about the pen and paper game in any detail knows that gore fests are the furthest things from the creators' minds when they think of their World of Darkness. Why then did they go along with the development of this game? If you are looking for a roleplaying game, forget it. This is nothing more than a slickly packaged hack-fest. On the other hand, if wanton slaying is your deal, you will probably like it - Site after site filled with level after level of 'dungeons' to mope around attacking everything that moves. I really must admit I cannot say the game is good or bad. It simply isn't what it was hyped to be.

oh my god

Vampire:The Masquerade Redemtion is a good game. If you take away the bad AI (Artificial Intelligence), bad pathfinding, and horrid gameplay. The multiplayer can be fun. But it seems alot of players have trouble with thier character getting deleted for no reason. Very few people play this on-line, and even fewer can offer you good Dungeon Master run quests. There are only two quests you can do without a player Dungeon Master.. and those get old very very fast. Anyhow, to keep my review short, I will just say if your a big fan of White Wolf and Vampires then this is your game. If not, then I wouldn't recommend it.

THIS GAME IS TERRIBLE!

THIS GAME IS HORRIBLE. THE AMOUNT OF SPACE NEEDED FOR IT IS TREMENDOUS AND A WASTE. EVEN AFTER THE FULL INSTALLATION, I HAD PROBLEMS. THE GAME FREEZES UP, THE MOUSE MOVES TERRIBLY, EVERYTHING STAYS AFTER IT SHOULD HAVE LEFT SO YOU HAVE LAYERS OF STUFF. EVERYTHING GOES SLOW. THIS IS GOING RIGHT BACK TO THE STORE. DONT BUY UNLESS YOU HAVE ONE AMAZING COMPUTER THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS. I JUST COMPLETELY UPDATED MINE WITH TOP OF THE LINE STUFF A FEW MONTHS BACK AND IT STILL DIDNT WORK.

Okay, there is one thing indisputably spectacular about this game: the graphics. There's no arguing this fact, they're absolutely awesome with incredible cutscenes and very smooth performance--no jerking movements or dialogue skipping. Transitions are seamless and the whole effect compliments the game fantastically well, Nihilistic did not turn this into a graphics symposium and you won't lose the plot in their splendor.

Unfortunately, that's about the only really wonderful point about the whole game. Don't get me wrong, I didn't find anything tragically flawed about the experience, this -is- a very fun game, especially after having played the pen-and-paper version for so long. There is a solid plot behind the entire thing, and interesting dialogue (though it gets a bit pathetic at times, and I bordered on wanting to slay Christof myself as he bemoaned his fate and forbidden love.) But is the plot particularly inspired? No. Is the roleplay that engrossing? No--though, to be fair, I've yet to find a game that really lives up to the what roleplaying ought to be. Is the combat exhilerating? Not in the slightest.

Most of my complaints revolve around the mechanics of the game. If you're looking solely for an action-oriented game, skip it. Though it might bear some resemblence to Diablo in the way combat is visually represented, disciplines (read "spells" to those unversed in the White Wolf lexicon) are cumbersome and trying to use them in the middle of combat is almost more dangerous than it is helpful. The player is faced with exceptionally little creative opportunity in combat situations... just keep clicking on the bad guy, and try to stay out of the way of your team so they can join in too. I never felt my heart jump into my throat, or my stomach shrivel to the size of an orange when faced with combat in this game like I have in others--it's just not that exciting.

The soundtrack is good, but repetitive. After about ten minutes in a new area, I was pretty much over it.

So, what the heck am I saying? This really -is- a fun game, but it doesn't live up to the hype (which may be making me overly critical, but I don't think so.) Go ahead, buy it, play it, you'll have a great time; but don't expect to stay up all night into the wee hours of the morn slaying evil ghouls and denizens of the night.

Fangs for the memories...

Well, I've only played the game for the first few levels of single player, and toyed around with multi-player just a little bit. So here's how I see it.

Pros:

1. Graphics and sound are incredible.

2. The game "feeling" closely resembles the pen and paper version

3. It's a good combo of RPG and hack -n- slash

4. You don't need a "super" computer to play

5. No real "bugs" so far (game crashes, lock ups, etc. after playing for two days)

Cons:

1. Player and AI (party members) movement can be a hassle, because the have a tendency to run into walls and such if you don't guide them through multiple obstacles.

2. Not being able to look up towards the ceiling can be a pain (sorry, I'm use to Half-Life and Ultima views)

3. Not being able to truly create a character (single-player) takes away from the RPG feel of the game.

4. The plot is linear, pulling you you toward the pre-set story line without having to use your noggin to figure anthing out.

5. The "Save Game" sucks, only allowing you to save in certain areas (your haven) or using the Auto-Save when you enter new levels.

6. Monster AI just sits there until you get in range before they attack. Using the `ole bait -n- hook, you can lure one monster at a time to your waiting party members.

Despite the Cons outweighing the Pros, I still give the game at least a 3. As a true RPG, it's lacking. But as general hack -n- slash, it's awesome.

My advice: If you're looking for an RPG, and have played anything from the White Wolf collection, avoid the game. If you're looking for a fun game, with great graphics and sound, and a nice spooky feel to it, grab it quick.

Vampire Looks Great!

I will admit that I bought the game because of screen shots, but I am an RPG fan albeit I play mostly AD&D. I have been reading a ton of vampire books and happend to see this so I rushed out after seeing the screenshots and purchased the game. The graphics are awesome and so is the scrolling but there are areas the game could be improved...Your characters seem to get in the way of each other, range weapons don't seem to 'snipe' from a distance, characters like to do their own things. That aside, I am finding the game rather enjoyable. If you like hack and slash type games this is for you. And keep the blood setting on! :)
