Vampire: Bloodlines is a unique game that tries it's best to combine a first person shooter with a role playing game.
The gameplay is different. All of you melee fighting will be done in a third person view, while any of the shooting can be done in a third or first person view. You will find yourself using the melee more than the guns because it's just more effective and efficient to do so, especial against many of the supernatural being you will fight. The guns are extremely clumsy and not very useful for taking down anything other then humans, but are some very nice guns. The flamethrower and a number of automatic weapons are nice to have near the end of the game.
The graphics are nice looking for the most part. There are a number of times when some of the characters simply look off and the bodies look blocky. However, the detail put into the faces and some of the affect are amazing.
There is also alot of voice acting in the game and a nice music sound tract that goes well with the theme and mood of the game.
However, it should be noted that this game is not for anyone under 17. Sex, alcohol, blood, gore, swearing, and parital nudity make this game unsuitable for younger teens and children.
