Review: BloodRayne
Who?s the badass vampire-babe who puts Blade in his place? ?Rayne! Can you dig it?
BloodRayne?s an incredibly violent (yet amazingly fun) game that pits you?as a female half-vampire?against the Nazi regime in the late 1930s. There?s a lot to admire about BloodRayne, and, although the initial missions bite, overall the game hardly sucks. As the ?ber-sexy foul-mouthed title fr?ulein, you spend much of your time destroying enemies or feeding off them to stay alive. Armed with twin swords, weapon expertise, and responsive controls, you?ll carve a bloody path through a variety of lengthy missions, most of which require assassination or destruction. Don?t worry about the game?s slow start, because the fun truly begins once you get out or the swamps and into the trenches. BloodRayne?s pretty strong stuff: limbs are hacked off, bodies pile up, buckets of blood splash across the screen, and there?s plenty of shudder-inducing imagery (it makes Medal of Honor look like Mario). Sharp visuals bring the carnage to life (this is the best looking of the three console BloodRaynes)?although jerky character movements are an unwanted distraction. The solid audio track enhances the overall effect. While it?s hardly a ?family game,? BloodRayne?s an enjoyable action/adventure that succeeds?even when its content frequently goes way over the top.
