This game is just a quick way of making cash. It's a bad game and the developer is hoping it will sell because of its sex appeal and intense amounts of gore. Don't be fooled, this game is going to be a mediocre (at best) action game. The game is basically a rip off Max Payne, Devil May Cry 2, and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain with a lot more gore, sex appeal, and the gameplay doesn't nearly match up to the games it is "ripping off" from. The gameplay is supposivly very similar to Resident Evil. Although I love Resident Evil, this game is a fast paced action game and RE's controls are better suited for survival-horror..not action.

Remember..there are lots of games out there with a lot of sex/gore appeal but that doesn't make them all good. Some such as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, BMX XXX, Resident Evil, or Mortal Kombat:Deadly Alliance (trust me, it will sincerely be a good game) will be good but others such as BloodRayne are just trash.

Very Poooor Game

This game is very poor! Sloppy controls and gameplay, even the graphics are kinda "jaggy" no real good story and no thought put in to it!

THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!

This Game ROCKS!! I bought this game for two reasons: I like hack-em-up's, and I like women. THis game has amazing graphics, for example, some blood splatters out of a victim's neck after a "snack", and will stay in puddles on the ground. Another example of graphic supieriority is the characters. ALL of the creatures are the breast, i mean best i have ever seen. The best-done character in the game is of course, Rayne. You will see hair flowing, muscles moving in a realistic fashion, and all the feminine features are great. And the graphic function that will help the most is the different vision types. You have normal; Aura vision (shows the life force of the enemies); "Matrix" Vision, which slows everything down to pull some cool moves off; and finally binocular vision, for use with rifle to do sniper shots. The sounds is outstanding. You can just be standing there, you can here the sounds of nature, the wind, victims' footsteps, and Nazis yelling at you to do something (I don't know, i don't speak German). The controls are typical and easy to understand. One button shoots, one for jump, one for blades, one for Blood Rage (All your normal stuff at twice the speed for matrix type moves), and one for picking different gun types. If you love bloody games, go drop X dollars for this game. You won't regret it. Take it from me, a 17 y.o. with 16 years gaming experience, who has played almost any type of game made.

One of the most fun games I've played in a while!

Yeah, this game is a guilty pleasure. Tons of action, sex appeal, lots of gore. So whats wrong with that? Nothing, if you're in the mood for it, and this game delivers. Look, this game rocks like no other for the Gamecube and the only reason I can see not checking it out is if you can't handle the blood and language. Otherwise, get ready for a non stop slaughter fest using tons of weapons, tight controls set in a B-horror movie type setting. So the story is kind of weak, trust me, you won't care, you'll be to busy chopping up mutated creatures and Nazi's. Anyway, check it out and have some fun! Thats what these games are for!

Make a sequil . . . and IMPROVE it!!!

Congratulations: You found the GameCube version of Blood Rayne. Yep, it's still available...
If you're one of those gamers who are looking for more blood and gore, you're going to find it here. The game takes place in the 1930's, but if Agent Bloodrayne is still alive (this may be just a game, but there is no proof that she doesn't really exist) and has a Gamecube herself, she's probably be hopping mad that this version got short-changed. When I played an X-Box demo, I noticed some things there that were missing from the GC version: extra textures on Rayne's costume and darthish (work with me here, people!) voices to match the slow-motion. I don't know about the extra textures, but you don't need an X-Box to slow the speed of someone's voice (play TUROK on N64 with a Big Heads cheat).
+ Female Hero; lot's of blood; Nazi-killing (if you're not a neo-nazi gamer); Rayne says "F--k" on a Nintendo console; Rayne's outfit; cheat codes; nice tunes (they're in there, you just have to listen carefully)
- faulty controls (you have to press the shoulder buttons in until they click to get any response); lack of control options; can't rescue Jewish prisoners; can't fight Hitler; Rayne's lines can get repetative; missing textures from X-Box (and possibly PS2) version.
Also, there is a sequil planned for X-Box and PlayStation 2, and PC, but a GameCube version is not likely. Sorry, GameCube fans, I love her too.

Nazis, Blood, and Cleavage

Hard to see what the excitement is about. The graphics are nothing special. The game is rather shallow -- kill people and suck the blood from their jugular vein. Killing Nazis is always a plus, though.

The controls are rather easy to pick up. You can use a variety of different views, such as aura view (looks similar to infrared), dilated perception (slow motion), and extended vision (zoom). Not much skill involved with the combat; it is more or less hack and slash.

The theme of the game is raw violence combined with sensuality. I'm sure this alone is what is drawing most of the positive remarks.

Loads of fun

When I bought this game, I was skeptical. But I've since found that this game delivers. It's no masterpiece, by any means--but I wasn't expecting one. This game is good to get your ya-yas out, relieve some stress, etc. Don't buy Bloodrayne if you're looking for a complex story, stunning graphics, or innovations in the video game industry--this game is purely there for fun. Quite frankly, I've had more fun with "Bloodrayne" than I have with any other Nintendo title for quite some time.

Graphics--could be tighter. A lot of unneccesary attention is paid to breasts. Blood flows everywhere.

Movement--default controls are horrid, but you can change the control set-up and then adjust sensitivity. When the controls are customized, Bloodrayne zips around the screen like you would expect a real vampire would. Bloodrayne's combos are top-notch.

Sound effects--would have liked more music. Bloodrayne's witty banter gets old sometimes. But gun shots and dismemberment sounds are great. Strong language.

Innovation--utilizes "bullet time" ideas, but also includes heat-vision. A good idea. I like it how Bloodrayne can continue to use her guns even while she's draining somebody.

Buy it if your a fan of horror games and looking for an edgier title than most Nintendo offerings.

One of the best games out there

Though I've only played the X-Box version, this game is to drool over. The smooth moves, slow motion, screening effects, and ahem...a nice heroine, the game is eye candy. The basic plot is too find mahjor officers of the Nazi fleet, not to mention playing with loads of fun toys, and to exterminate them. Though this game is rated M, I highly recommend it. The playtime never gets old, while most of the action games do. It's really cool to grab someone, suck their blood, use them as a human shield, and shoot at the same time. The blood rage is totally awesome. If you enjoy this game, I suggest Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2, though the main character isn't as cool. :-D

Out of every game I have ever played for the G cube I would definitly say this game is the best. I got Blood Rayne for christmas and it has the coolest things ever you are a half human and half vampire and your name is Rayne. You get 4 visions for Rayne matrix vision you hit down on the D-pad and time slows down and it is just like the movie it is really called dialated preseption, you get extended vision you can see very far,Aura vision you can see at night ,body heat,and where you are suposed to go, and regular vision. And the coolest thing is blood rage you get mad and all powerfull and can chop people up easily. You can get guns, grenades, rocket launcher's and ,all kinds of stuff. you have a friend named Mynce she is just like you. you go on missions and kill soldiers. and at the end you kill the devil. This is the best game I have ever played and I recommed you get this game out of any game!

Sigh...

Well lets see, only a total of three missions, an extremely short game, dismemberment is extreme but cool, graphics are ok, seen better however, controls are a bit annoying till you adjust them and customize,all in all this game is basically just a hack n slash game with relatively no plot.
