More than meets the "eye" [Posted on 2007-02-28]
First off, I must mention, I'm physically disabled with limited manual dexterity, so I couldn't try the more complex moves.
Those of you who are used to fast twitch games will enjoy flipping around like a killer gymast.

The Rayne character is "fast". The camera is twitchy and changes angles during fights, even when reduced to 10% sensitivity. Rayne also jumps likes a jaguar, which causes even more havoc with the camera.
By reducing the camera sensitivity, you help reduce the shifting camera angles, but you also nullify using the mouse to control Rayne's direction.
Again, those used to fast twitch games shouldn't have a problem ... I'm sure a gamepad would help(... I'm unable to use them)

Recommended cards are Nvidia 6800 and Radeon 9800 Pro or X800.
You do have 4 options before starting the game to turn on/off specific visual effects.

Nice feature is the built in cheat codes.
I didn't mind dying, more killing time for me.
But as the game progresses, it gets pretty tough. Even the normal enemies(... without their own health bar) become a handful.

Another plus is, you don't have to complete objectives immediately.
You can just keep killing to earn carnage or fatality points, as enemies will continuously respawn.

Yes, Rayne is hot, the weapons cool, combat moves quite spectacular and the powers fun.
I was surpised by the different locals in which you fight; nice diversity.
The story/plot was interesting.
If you read the dialogue, watch the screen and check your objectives, you have all the info to succeed ... surviving is another matter

It's basically a kill-fest ... how you do it is up to you

My only disappontment was the "unlockable" outfits.
It appreares as though you can unlock 4(?) outfits ... I was expecting one per each time you finish the game ... and I was expecting some "hot" outfits
I was wrong on both counts.
After you finish the game, 11 outfits are unlocked. None are "hot".
I believe 4 were different colors of the gown(... nothing new), you have a S&M outfit(... doesn't look like Rayne), a Cowgirl outfit = ?, a Schoolgirl outfit with really short skirt = ?, and a knight in armor = just what I want, Rayne all covered up. I might have missed one ?
I was hoping for: gowns cut differently up top ... dresses that ended at upper thigh(... I'm no fashion expert) ... short/tight shirt + shorts ... a bikini ... a wet t-shirt ... or body paint with the BloodRayne icon
Ok, I'm a guy, shoot me.
All they had to do was look at a fashion magazine or the SI Swimsuit Edition to come up with ideas.
Frankly, their choices stink. They had a good idea; unlock outfits. But it was poorly implemented and the choices, IMO, worse than the standard gown/outfit.
Considering the game is rated M and obviously for guys: the gore(... impalement, dismemberment, blood); nudity(...Ferrill); language ... you would think spicing up the oufits wouldn't be stretching the boundaries ?
It's a small disappoinment.

You know it's fun when you don't mind replaying segments.
Most fun I've had playing a game.
Even the quips by Rayne and the enemies had me laughing.
Those of you with good manual dexterity will have replay value due to the multiple combat moves; some are quite complex ... fun to watch(... I needed god mode in order to hold down the keys without being killed before finishing the move )
Enjoy; I did !

Simple and Fun.. [Posted on 2007-03-18]
If you're looking for a game to just enjoy and play without too much stress, this is the title, it got poor reviews elsewhere because some people don't realise that not everyone has HOURS of time to devote to play and this title gets to the action quickly and effectively, hack and slash baby!!! NOT FOR KIDS parents,I have enjoyed this game more than other more expensive cutting edge titles, it is simple, well designed and does not require a whole whole lot of effort... great for the old school gamer who needs some live action without all the fluff... this title simply get's to the point LITERALY... buy with confidence...

bloodrayne 2 is great! [Posted on 2007-09-20]
i'm not much a gamer,and i'm also a girl

my boyfriend had this first one and one day whilst i was bored i started playing it,and i reeally liked it!!
then i got him the second one and both of us enjoyed that one,the graphics aren't the best,the figures look a little too geometrical sometimes and the view can go wacko on you at times but on the whole these games rock very hard!

i wish they'd done a better job with the movies,the chick doesn't even look like her in the first one and the costume looks so cheap and poorly made
they should have gotten milla jojovich to play bloodrayne,and they also should have taken a look at the videogame before they made the movie cause rayne's hair wasn't very red nor were her eyes all that green,all she had on her that was accurate were her jugs,and that was about all....geez!

Worth Buying [Posted on 2007-10-08]
Most of everything I want to say has already been said in the 5-Star reviews here, so I won't be boring you with a repeat. I just want to add my 5-Stars worth and tell you that what the 5-Starians say is true.

BORING GAME [Posted on 2007-10-18]
I could only play a few minutes of this game...just too boring.Too much of the samething over and over.
