I bought the first one back in 2003 when I was stationed in England. I had never heard of it, but based on the images I saw on the back of the box, it seemed like it had a similar over-the-shoulder 3rd person perspective like Shadow Man, Tomb Raider, etc. I bought it and loved it. Bloodrayne 2 has everything the first one had and more.

It takes place about 65 year after the first one left off, with Rayne still searching for her father, the Vampire Overlord Kagan. The game opens up with an FMV of Rayne in a sexy black dress arriving at a party thrown by one of her many vampire siblings whom she wishes to destroy.

The graphics, audio, gameplay, controls...everything is greatly improved in this sequel. A couple of cool additions are the feed fatality moves. There are 12 of them in the game designed as an alternate to just feeding off an enemy until he dies. You can start feeding to get your health up and then kill him/her while feeding to get a boost in your rage meter.

Speaking of which, you can also increase the size of your health and rage meters by performing puzzle kills. Basically, this is when you can kick/slash/harpoon an enemy into a fireplace, out a window, or over a railing on a higher floor. When this happens, an icon encompassing both meters slides up. When it goes all the way to the right, the meters fill up, and the icon slides back to the left. This keeps happening until your meters reach maximum size (which is almost 2X the original size). this helps immensely in the later parts of the game where the enemies get significantly harder to defeat.

Overall, a wonderful playing experience with some sweet extras that are all available when you finish the game. Among these are different costumes for Rayne, a level select, and a trailer for the upcoming Bloodrayne movie.

If you liked the first game, you'll LOVE this one. If you've never played the first one, get it first then get this one. There are a couple of references to Brimstone Society in this one which will go over a person's head if they didn't play the first one. (For those of you who haven't played the first one, Brimstone Society is the organization that asked Rayne to join their ranks at the beginning of the original Bloodrayne after observing her fighting skills against a couple of vampires).

Other than that there are little or no references to the first one, but I would playing both...and the 3rd installment that will inevitably come out based on how well Bloodrayne 2 has been received.

I played the original Blood Rayne and seeing how that played out well, I am assuming this will be a great game. By recently seen trailers and pics, Blood Rayne looks like a great game with enhanced graphics and fighting techniques. By other concepts as in articals and pages of Blood Rayne 2, it is a really good game and is of which I rated everything a five.

WOW! 10/10

This game is really awesome. This is one of my favorite games of all time. I didn't think it would be as good as BloodRayne but it's just as good. Buy this game!

What can be said. Awesome graphics - great game play. This is a mature title with a mass market appeal. Strong woman in the lead role (...) who has an attitude and the ability to slice and dice the bad guys. The "pick up a weapon" feature has been ditched for a very cool blood sucking system for weapons (she is half vampire after all) and there isn't any "find this key, find this key" thing going on - it is all done through death and destruction of bad guys. This one is worth buying and the replay value exists (try playing her as rayne dressed in a japanese school girl outfit - GREAT stuff!).

Hey "sinless k"! What game were you playing. It wasn't Blood Rayne 2 I can tell you that. Hey dude for real you need to stop smoking the peace pipe. It's messing with your sense of reality. The truth is Blood Rayne 2 rocks!!! The graphics are better, the fighting is better and the blood & guts forget about it! And if you think some of the bosses are to hard or your gun doesn't have enougph ammo you can always enter the God mode cheat code. That's what I did. Over all this game was a grate play. I'm played now even as we speak. Rent if you want. but after you play you'll want more.

P.S. Like said befor "sinless k" your really need to stop smoking whatever it is your smoking and get back to reality. And the realality is that Blood Rayne is one the best game made in 2004. Well until next time this is The Main Man singing off. peace out.

Bloody Good Time!

WARNING: this game is not for children!

Blood Rayne 2 for the xbox is an action/horror game played in third-person view that seemlessly combines fantastic fighting and shooting elements! You play as a good half human/vampire named Rayne who's out to avenge her family's death and tries to stop evil vampires from taking over the modern world. As Rayne kills each vampire higher up in the ranks, the missions become more deadly as she fight armies of thugs, demonic creatures and others with powers like her own. Rayne posseses super strength and speed. She can slow down time (think of the matrix movies), freeze time and see through walls. She is equipped blades attached to her forearm and you will be using them to hack n'slash at enemies, when you press the right combination of buttons, Rayne will do "fatality" executions that would put other games to shame. The fatalities are exaggerated and gruesome, with tons of blood spraying and severed limbs gore!
When you see the moves Rayne can perform your jaw will drop. She
can combine martial arts moves and gun blasting like no other! This is all complimented with excellent controls and long action packed levels! This game is actually a far superior sequal than its predecessor (original Blood Rayne for XBOX). The engine was reworked and everything in the gameplay is amazing!

Pros:
+Rayne is the deadliest character ever!
+fantastic action
+fantastic vampire powers
+excellent weapons
+excellent fighting system
+excellent level designs
+excellent controls
+excellent graphics
+excellent animation
+excellent sound effects
+excellent voice-acting
+excellent music
+excellent boss battles
+ragdoll-physics
+enviromental hazards
+tons of blood
+good story

Cons:
-repetative gameplay

Sword of the Berserk for Dreamcast

If you like Bloodrayne then you ABSOLUTELY MUST get a copy of Berserk for Dreamcast. Same type of bloody slasher game, but you use a guy instead of a lady.

Great to relieve stress!!!

I have to admit...my husband got me hooked on this game. However, it is a lot of fun to pretend you're slicing the skin off of assailants who would have nothing better to do than tear Ms. Rayne to bits!! This game is a lot of fun, especially if you're into the whole horror, "goth" genre, and you enjoy her martial art-style moves ;).
