If you want to see blood, blood, and blood, this game is for you, but if you are searching a nice plot and a complete game in all aspects...
Ummm....

this game was fun to begin with...nothing special, no ultra realistic graphics...but i bought this game a year ago and i couldnt finish the first boss. it was impossable! Even my brother - the video game know it all - could not figure out what to do...we basically ran around loosing life over and over again for a half hour until we gave up and that was that. thats money lost that could have been spent on something better.

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!
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.
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.
Get Metroid instead...

After playing this game it would be hard to argue that Nintendo isn't sensitive to the needs of its mature gaming audience. BloodRayne has it all: scantily clad vampire-mutants, a plethora of four letter words, blood & dismemberment, and endless Nazis to mutilate in any way you please.
Overall the game wasn't that challenging. I completed the entire game on a long Sunday afternoon. Anyone looking for a game to test thier mental capacity will be strongly dissapointed. However, if you're looking for a simple hack'em slash'em you'll definitely be pleased.
For the reasons mentioned above I definitely wouldn't recommend this game for small children (hence the M rating).
If you can find this game used for cheap I would grab a copy, otherwise don't blow your hard earned pay on this title.
Good for the right price, or a rental

Well, after reading the reviews on here, and the last three having horrible spelling and being the most unhelpful I've seen, I thought I'd try and shed some light on the game.
The fact is, this game was obviously made with intentions of being "eye candy" in hopes of selling lots of copies. As usual, that didn't do the company as well as say, putting more thought into the game could have done. The company that made the game, Terminal Reality, makes mostly medicore games, while this is the best of their franchises, it is still mediocre at best.
Story: I really didn't know what was going on. At first I was killing monsters and mutants, then it went on to nazis, then monsters that were possessing nazi bodies. That seemed to be the entire storyline... they didn't really put much thought into this I guess.
Graphics: Nothing amazing. They look like your typical graphics of a game from 2001/2002, but they are manageable.
Music/Sound: Good, weird sounds. Whenever you feed off a nazi or a monster, Rayne makes "mmmmm" sounds that are somewhat funny as well as distracting.
Game length: I started yesterday, and have almost beaten the game already. Estimated game play should be 5-8 hours on normal.
Controls: I don't know what people's problems are on this site with the controls. It's like they never played a video game before or something, because I got used to everything instantly. They feel almost like an FPS, though the game is played in a third person view.
It's a fun game while it lasts, and if you just want something quick to play through. Just don't pay more than $8 for it, and if anything, get the PC version instead. PC ports of games are almost always better than console ports.
