You may still be shaky as to how good this game is. I was to until i decided to pick it up. Now i play the game everyday for a pretty long amount of time. I am still hooked to this game. It is probably one of the best rpgs made in 2004. Now lets get started on the review. Gameplay- Well the gameplay has gotten much much better when Troika released a patch fixing alot of the ingame bugs and problems with the game. So in my time of playing i have found only 1 bug. I found a way around it that was very simple and continued playing. First your going to be spending your time in three main places. Downtown, Chinatown, and Santa Monica. You'll meet some interesting people along the way. Like the Camarilla and The Anarchs. Which seem to be the two main groups tho there is another one. Also be careful of your choices they can severly affect how people think of you in game. So the combat. First off guns are ok when you use them agaisnt humans but pretty useless going up against monsters or vampires. You'll mostly be using a melee weapon through most of the game. The combat can be a little tough to get used to but is pretty fun when you get the hang of it. Graphics- all i can say is wow. The first time i played i was pretty amazed at how good this game looked. The people the places just so much detail everywhere. The people facial animations and everything just looked so real. The game looks very good and youll like just to run around just to see the citys and how they look. Sound- Well The sound is damn good. Your usualy not going to be missing anything anyone has to say. They speak pretty clearly but if you cant hear them there is a subtitle option which helps. Every character will have his or her own voice so talking to someone will never sound the same. Only enemies like thugs or the sabbat are going to be saying the same thing. They will curse at you and yell the same things alot of the time but its just a minor annoyance and wont really affect your gameplay. Value- Well you may only play the game through once. Since it is always the same storyline and you could get bored of it. But you could the second time through do all the side quests or get all the weapons but besides that you wont have to much reason to play through this game twice.
