I was looking for a cool game to pass the time, and stumbled upon this little gem. Although the opening of the description on the back made me worry a little ("Half human. Half vampire. All woman." Ah, it's *that* type of game...), I decided to give it a shot anyway.

Boy, am I glad I did! Sure, the main character's got sex appeal, and they're not gonna let you forget that, but even if you took that away, you'd have a solid game left over. The action sequences (and there are a lot of action sequences) are top notch. The levels look good and are pretty large. If you like gore and terror, you'll enjoy what Rayne can do to her enemies. And there's just something kinda cool about dropping down out of the shadows, grabbing a Nazi, sucking his blood while using him to block bullets, and shooting enemies over his shoulders.

I do have a few complaints--I'd actually like to give this 4.5 stars--but nothing major. The sound could use some work (as noted by the previous reviewer), although it's pretty good. Sometimes it's a little tough to figure out what exactly you're supposed to do. I would've appreciated a higher degree of customizability for the controls. And the play balance is a little off: regular enemies are very easy, but the bosses can be ridiculously hard.

As was noted, this is not a game for children or conservatives. There's a lot of blood, and some sensual elements. But if those won't bother you, and you're looking for a good challenge, try this out.

This game might be lacking in the graphics department but its still a must buy. The game was a blast. You can engage with guns or blades on your forearms. Need health, just feed off the the humans and some of the monsters. Feed enough and get a blood fueled supercharge! Life vision lets you see where the bad guys are but through walls. You have bullet view, which slows the game down Matrix like and helps you better dodge those annoying nazi bullets. As you progress in the game she develops more combat moves and such. The game is a blast. Forget how the graphics neeed work and give the game a chance. You most likely wont be sorry, I wasnt.

sink your teeth into this one!

I've always hated the fact that even in some of my favorite games, a dead opponent disappears. NOT in Bloodrayne.
I've always wondered why some games get a "mature" rating, when there is hardly a reason for that rating. NOT in Bloodrayne.
Finally,
I've always felt my money was wasted on games that don't live up to the hype. DEFINITELY NOT in Bloodrayne.
Kick the kiddies out of the house and carve yourself some bloodthirsty fun!

Rayne is AWESOME!!!

She is like Lara Croft of Tomb Raider turned into a vampire! I love this game! You can choose the way your controls are (traditonal 3rd person or 1st person/more control.) The graphics are great, the cinematics are great, and Rayne is fun to move around. The levels are fun, but you do end up doing a lot of running around looking for a way out or an object that you need to move on to the next levels. The bosses can be very hard at times, maybe next to impossible without cheat codes... If you like Tomb Raider, Soul Reaver series, and Syphon Filter, you should enjoy BloodRayne.

this is great

Blood Rayne (BR) is a wonderful game that you can play for a few minutes or a few hours.

There are many excellent reviews here, so I will not duplicate them, so I'll just say how much fun this game is to play. I've had it for several months and still play it on a regular basis.

The game is sort of a cross between Doom and Tomb Raider.... lots of killing, and a few navigation puzzles.

Lastly, there is "adult" language (i.e. the "F" word).

It's exactly what it is -- a fun sexy action shooter.

better than Underworld (the movie)

I did read the other reviews on this game criticising the poor plot, short game time and the heterogeneity in boss difficulty. I have to admit that I found the plot cartoonish but it was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, for example Rayne gives some of her dead enemies (bosses) the finger after she is done with them and flirts with others during battle. So the game is engrossing but doesn't take itself too seriously like the Raziel and Resident Evil series- a little bit like a Rodriguez movie, say Dusk till Dawn. So you are not overburdened by ridiculously convoluted plots- it's more like Blade- a half vampire with cool guns on a bad guy killing spree. I didn't look at any cheats or codes online and I finished the game in about 17 hours. My girlfriend tried it after me, and with the benefit of my hindsight at times it only took her 10 hours (I had to kill the final boss for her- but ended up finding an easier way to do so). So, playtime is not extensive, but there are cool ways to kill your foes to be discovered. But the character is sexy, funny and a pure death machine so can be incredibly fun to play, hacking your way through Nazis whose 'get her off me!" cries of terror can get repetitive at times. Officers can be hard to kill, but "Bloodrage" as a last resort usually works in all situations, except one notable boss. Contrary to other reviews, there is potential for stealth: if you manage to sneak up on enemies you can usually dispatch them in one blow (there is a liquidy sound with this and cool graphics of body parts flying in a fountain of blood): a critical strike essentially where you hack them in half or decapitate them. Having different "vision" effects was also cool, though out of 3 extra visions, only "bullet time" was consistently useful. The other 2 were only useful in a few rare parts of the game (for example heat vision only for finding objectives). Overall, I honestly have to say that this is one of the coolest action games I've played on PSII, a welcome break from all the limp commercialized failures of the year like Lara Croft Dark Angel, Wolverine, Matrix, Spiderman etc. etc. and WELL worth the time and money you will spend on it.

Bloodrayne....

I'll admit, I hadn't read anything prior to getting the game so I didn't know very much about Bloodrayne. Something about a Vampire in the 30s going up against Nazis just seemed a lil much to me yet, because I love Vampire stuff, I decided to get the game and, boy, am I glad I did. Terminal Reality somehow pulled it off. The game is an absolute blast to play. It's a gory 3rd-person action-adventure much in the vein of Blade, Shadowman, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Yet, it has a style all its' own. You start out in the backwaters of Louisiana and end up facing the Nazi. The only gripes I had with the game were with the control at the beginning of the game(which after I got used to, worked out just fine in playing the game),and that the levels were somewhat repetitive. But, those were only minor gripes. Otherwise, Bloodrayne is a brilliant game. One I heartily recommend.

I Love BloodRayne!

I love this game! From
kicking Nazi butt to
great gameplay, this
has it all! The storyline
is good, BloodRayne herself
is hot and a great fighter,
she could whip Lara Croft's
butt anyday! Gameplay is
challenging, but satisfying.
I got the game for Christmas,
and bought the memory card and
strategy guide myself. The card
and guide are so helpful. This
game seems to be aimed towards
guys,but I love this game and
I'm a girl!!!

I love vampires and so I
love Rayne. Mynce is cool,
too. If only you could feed
on Mynce!! Cool that Rayne
can feed, being 1/2 vampire.

If you are looking for
a cool vampire fighting
game, then BloodRayne is
for you. I play it on
Playstation 2. It rocks!!

Go BloodRayne!!

'' ONE GREAT BLOODSUCKER GAME '' ! !

SINCE I AM NOT INTO ANY TYPE OF SPY/ESPIONAGE GAMES I PICKED UP THIS GAME DUE TO IT BEING A VAMPIRE BASED GAME.AND BOY WAS I GLAD I DID ! YOU GET TO BATTLE ZOMBIES , ALL SORTS OF NASTY MUTATIONS , AND LOTS OF NAZIS .. PLUS THE FACT THAT YOU GAIN SPECIAL VAMPIRIC ABILITES , AND A WIDE ASSORTMENT OF WEAPONS TO USE AT YOUR DISCRETION MAKES IT SURE TO PLEASE ALL LOVERS OF SPY GAMES.. .BUT YOU DON'T REALLY NEED TO USE YOUR WEAPONS A LOT , UNLESS YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY SOLDIERS SHOOTING AT YOU . THE FACT THAT YOU CAN FEED ON THEM TO REPLENISH YOUR HEALTH IS A BIG PLUS , AS WELL AS USING A SOLDIER AS A HUMAN SHIELD WHEN BEING PEPPERED WITH BULLETS FROM ALL SIDES. A NICE ADDED TOUCH , IS RAYNE'S BLADES- WHICH SHE USES AS A LETHAL KILLING METHOD . AND IT FILLS YOUR BLOODRAGE METER , SO YOU CAN GO INTO BLOODRAGE AND REALLY KICK...!!THE BOSSES CAN BE HARD AT TIMES , BUT IF YOU USE YOUR SPECIAL ABILITIES , THEY WONT STAND A CHANCE..RAYNE IS HERE TO SLAY,FEED , AND NOT TAKING ANY PRISONERS !! BUT MAYBE JUST SNACKING ON A FEW .. AND TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU SHOULDN'T MESS WITH A VAMPIRE ,WHO TAKES [nothing] FROM ANYONE ! SO GET IT TODAY AND HAVE FUN !!
