Review: Bloodrayne
Sometimes, I wonder what I'm thinking. I got this game for free, since I bought 2 other games. Getting it for free SHOULD have been a warning, but one I quickly ignored, and I installed it. Why didn't I see this coming?

The game starts out fairly simple. You're this vampire/human chick named bloodrayne (duh) and you have to beat zombies and solve some minor puzzles. It's an average game. You know, the "big boobed girl in low-threshold mainstream game"-kind of average. There must have been a fight at the developper's office shortly after the first level, because then, the settings change, and they've replaced zombies with Nazis. Which was SO unpredictable. I totally did NOT see that coming..... Later on, you get assasination missions to take out some "very important" german people.

Anyways, as you battle in semi-crappy 3rd person style, you can either run up to your enemies and slice them, hump them and suck their blood for HP or you can shoot them with your guns. if you run/flop/dodge long enough, the special bar will flicker, telling you can do yet another mainstream move, the "bloodlust", which is basically a lawsut-dodging way of saying "bullet time". become invincible, time slows, big moves that insta-kill, you know, yadda yadda yadda.

Oh, and you get to battle nazi's in this game, I think I forgot to mention that.
 
Grade: 35 out of 100

Bloodrayne is a combination of a little bit of everything, and totally executes it the wrong way. Add a big-breasted girl to the mix, and voila, a below mediocre game, that eventually gets handed out for free.
