I just finished Bloodrayne on the Xbox. What an absolute HORRIBLE game!!! I can only think of a couple of games that I've played that have been worse than this. The only thing positive thing about this game is that I'll get $8 for it at Blockbuster when I trade it in.
I checked out gamerankings.com too just to see what the average was for it. It's rated in the mid 70's. WTF!!!!!
Rayne as a character is kinda cool. But the camera was brutal. So many times when you went to feed on someone the camera would go into a cinematic view, which would cause you to lose track of the nearest enemies. The slow-mo mode (Max Payne bullet-time) was so weak cause you couldn't turn quick enough to get behind most enemies. The enemies would just run in circles the same direction that I would and we would play freakin "ring around the rosie". So many times while in the slow-mo mode enemies would start to float. They would have been in the middle of a jump attack and I would hit them and it would force them out of their attack animation and they would just be standing there like five feet off the ground. You could get shot through almost every single wall in the game. Later in the game there are Mechwarrior type tanks that you have to fight. There is this one part where you are running up a long staircase and a Mech comes out at the top of the stairs. The game is set up so you have a rocket launcher at this part so it should be no big deal. Well I unleash the rocket launcher for the required three shots to blow the thing up. Instead of blowing up though it just disappears. I'm thinking that's kinda odd. So I keep running up the stairs and low and behold the Mech is like ten feet off the ground and full on clipped half way into the mountain side that makes up the level. It is facing away from me but still able to shoot at me and I can't damage it while it's lodged in the mountian like that. Just so stupid.
Sorry for the long rant. Please stay away from this game at all costs.
I play these games so you don't have too.

Although the PC version is much better because of the controls (due to it being a 3rd person shooter). I liked Bloodrayne 2, but it got ridiculously hard halfway through which kinda ruined it for me.
But I agree with him about the storyline. Killing Nazis is always a pleasure.
