I swear this game is better than Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. Honest.
Ah the story of this game follows a group of elite special forces that were totally copied by Splinter Cell, not the other way around, hunting for vampires in a city that seems to have been completely overrun. Totally plausible. I wouldn't be shocked to wake up tomorrow in a world like this with the way things are going. Anyways, you play as a completely athletic, powerful, and wittingly interesting character. I don't remember his name. He's so cool he doesn't have to have a name. Seriously. I know there's a story in here somewhere, but I didn't notice because of the extremely awesome graphics, sound, and gameplay.

Graphics
Man you think the graphics on Gears of War are good, wait till you see this. I saw them for the first time at my home of course, and let me tell you, I hid under my couch because the graphics were so real. From the completely "realistic" looking faces, the stiff and robotic animations, and the insane running technique of most vampires, I was COMPLETELY IMPRESSED. Completely. You see I like it. They make some of the animations crappy, but to me it means that Artoon is very confident in how well the gameplay is and the story is. It's like they said, "Why should we care about graphics if we've made such an astounding and ground breaking game with every other part?" Just because of that, the graphics ace this section because they are that cocky.
10/10
Sound
The sound, including the acting in this game, is unbelievable. I threw my PS2 out the window because the acting was so good. Such as, "Oh no!" or "Watch Out!" Unbelievable. I swear, despite the fact I don't have surround sound or anything, I realized I didn't need it. This game pretty much makes you seem like you are there. I thought at multple times I was the character in the game. The acting was and is completely unrivaled. Artoon is a huge genius for making such an unbelievable game.

Gameplay
This game is so much better than Splinter Cell. Everything from Vampires seeing you far off in the distance, despite the fact you were as quiet as possible to get by is priceless. I mean they're vampires, what do you expect? The fact that if they do see you, you have no chance of living because you die in two hits, I've heard some people complain that it's ridiculous. I like to say,
Ridiculously challenging...
You think your guns work? Think again. You can't kill vampires with guns. That's just nonsense. It's about time a game made use of this. I slowly realized that not only is this a great stealth game, but also a great third person shooter. More games need to copy off of this one, just as much as every other company copying off of GTA. I swear, I think Splinter Cell robbed a couple things from this game. Totally.
10/10
Well that settles it. This is the greatest game ever made.
Not really. This game truely sucked when I played it for around the short five minutes that I did, three minutes spent at the main menu, marvelling at the stupidity of the menu itself. I'm giving it a ten though because I just feel like it. -zombie44
