Vampires? Rain? Stealth Action Sci-Fi? If You Like It You Will Have FUN!
User Rating: 7.1 | Vampire Rain X360
I would first like to make a request and then point out a few things. Gamers, please buy games you are sure you will be interested in. I have seen TOO many gamers write bad reviews in response being upset at Themselves for making Uninformed, "Impulse" decisions and then taking it out on good titles! I also noticed a similarity in MOST of these Terrible rated games. The amount of time "Claimed" to be invested on the game! 10 hours or less?? I for one have a brother-in-law who is a perfect example of my next point. He played Vampire Rain for 10 MINUTES, said it was Too Hard, the Graphics sucked and it was a rip-off! How does he and those sharing his opinion become what I like to refer to as "10 Minute Experts"? After reading Mixed reviews, Mostly Bad ones, I decided to try Vampire Rain for myself. I must say that I am stuck in the middle for Many reasons! First off, I gotta ask, am I the ONLY person who not only plans which games I want but also rents before droppin $60+? Also, I am NOT trying to be sarcastic, but is this game billed as something Other than a Stealth Action Sci-Fi (Vampire)? That being said, as a Vampire fan, I was excited prior to seeing this game! What other Vampire games do 360 owners have? Do NOT say SOTN on XBL!! Finally, for my opinion of the game itself. The graphics are not a masterpiece but are up to par with Most 360 titles. The games storyline pretty much explains away MOST of the complaints I have read! You are playing at night in the rain because it gives you a tactical advantage over your AI adversaries! Pertinent details are given as needed. I will admit to V R having more than a few moments of frustration with the too wonky control response, or lack thereof! I also agree that the game does suffer from its linearity. It would be very nice to be able to have multiple directions to the objectives. I feel that the voice actors' characters sound as one would expect military personell to (these people are supposed to be soldiers, NOT be performing Shakespeare right?). If you can find friends that haven't been scared away by "5 minute reviews" ("experts" after playing a game for 5 minutes Or Less!!) the online is pretty fun! You get most of the standard fare modes with some Nice twists! There is already some FREE DLable content on XBL to boot! To wrap things up I would like to share a bit of advice. It's free, so take it! (the advice, not the game!) If you like Stealth, Sci-Fi Vampires, rent this game first! If you can get past its imperfect nature THEN go out and Buy it! I for one am SICK of gamers complaining about a game they purchased with the money they had burning a hole in their pockets instead of planning ahead! I Am NOT a big Fan of Pre-Orders!! At least the ones made with NO research at all! This is when gamers usually find themselves the Most disappointed! Folks please at least for yourselves Know what you are buying before you get home and decide you didn't want it! This makes YOU write excessively Bad reviews and Misleads those of us gamers that might've tried the title and actually liked it! Gaming is theraputic. It is a great form of interactive entertainment! It is meant to be enjoyed! Please help fellow gamers out by writing Appropriate reviews! Play B3YOND, XBOX For Life!!!
