BloodRayne Review for Playstation 2 (PS2), XBox and Nintendo Gamecube

BloodRayne is seductively different from other games. The character in this game, Rayne, has been dressed very provocatively and has a body that would turn heads, but that’s not what makes this game special. Many games have women wearing revealing clothing. What gives this character and this game a more sexual feel is that she is part vampire. Vampires have often been portrayed in a sexual light due to the intimacy shared between the vampire and the victim during feeding. This game incorporates a sexually charged female character as the heroine and gives it a kind of horror movie feel with all the creatures that Rayne has to fight. Any woman who can kick butt without wearing almost anything is a great video game character.

BoodRayne is about a sexy half human half vampire who is working to rid the world of the supernatural activity caused by black magic. She was recruited and takes orders from a secret agency. Throughout the game, Agent Rayne contacts this agency to update them on her progress and receive new orders. Since Agent Rayne is only a half vampire, she does not share the same weaknesses as full vampires, however she must be careful around water and sunlight. This is especially tricky in the early part of the game that takes place in the swamps of Louisiana.

Agent Rayne is sent to the swamps of Louisiana in the 1930s to kill zombies and giant spiders. Your objective is to rid the swamp of all the giant spider nests so that there is no more reproduction of this abomination. This part of the game does drag a bit, but if you can hold on there, the action resumes in the next area it’s sent to.

Five years after the Louisiana mission ends, Agent Rayne receives new orders from the agency to eliminate the Nazis due to the work they are doing with black magic. Your goal is to find the laboratory where these experiments are taking place and put an end to it. This area is a lot of fun to play because Agent Rayne comes across some really creepy monsters.

Agent Rayne gains many skills as the game progresses, which adds a lot of spice to the game. She can see enemies through walls and a red light guides her towards her targets. This helps with navigating tricky areas where it is easy to get lost. Agent Rayne can also move super fast to dodge incoming bullets. This move works great when there are a dozen enemies shooting at you at once. Then there’s the blood rage that builds as he kicks butt. This bar will fill up so you can use your dinner attack which increases the amount of damage it deals to the enemy.

Personally, my favorite part of the game is that Agent Rayne can feed off any of her enemies; when she feeds, her life increases and the enemy’s life decreases. Jumping on an enemy and feeding when there are a lot of rifles works great because you can use the person as a shield against bullets. While Agent Rayne is feeding, she makes very sexy moans that let you know how much she is enjoying it.

Agent Rayne comes equipped with knives and swords to kill enemies; attacks with these swords can be truly gruesome. It can cut its victim to death, behead it, or even propel it; all are equally bloody. Blood splatters all over the walls, all over the floors, basically everywhere and they stay there even after you leave the area, which helps you know if you’ve been to that area before. Agent Rayne can also collect lost weapons. They are very easy to use, as all you have to do is block and shoot. Weapons are useful when you are outnumbered.

Graphics are decent; each of the new areas she enters are equally interesting and seem very realistic. The camera, on the other hand, can get stuck at times and usually the only way to fix it is to restart the game. The player can interact with almost anything in the game, for example a desk can be smashed, items can be knocked over, and curtains can be smashed, producing a very realistic tearing sound.

This game is quite long, but on the plus side, the game is relatively easy, so flying through it should be a breeze. One thing to keep in mind is that it starts out quite slow and boring, but the further you progress through the game, the more interesting it becomes. I would recommend trying it if you have the time to spend playing it.
