  • Summary: Born from the unnatural union of vampire and human, BloodRayne is blessed with the powers of a vampire but cursed with the unquenchable thirst for blood and a weakness to sunlight. BloodRayne 2 challenges the supernatural anti-heroine with her most personal battle yet as she hunts down each of her wicked siblings who are carrying on the legacy of their dead father, Kagan. They have created "The Shroud," a mysterious substance which, when released, renders the sun?s lethal rays harmless to vampires. Now only BloodRayne stands between an unsuspecting humanity and a horrifying vampire dawn. Expanding upon the distinctive features that were the hallmark of its predecessor ? fast-paced acrobatic combat and supernatural powers ? BloodRayne 2 includes new in-game dynamics such as pole combat, rail sliding and advanced melee fighting with fatality moves. Built upon a modified version of the Infernal Engine, BloodRayne 2 introduces threatening new bosses, all new environments set within a huge modern day city, a range of new supernatural powers and new motion-captured movements complete with soft-body physics.

    Out of nowhere, BloodRayne 2 ranks among PS2's best hack-n-slash titles. [Dec 2004, p.124]

    It’s not groundbreaking, but the intense action and decent mission structure will allow you to shut your brain off and have a great time.

    Provides a viscerally enjoyable experience pretty much from beginning to end. The game certainly has its blemishes, and it's definitely not the deepest or headiest action title you'll ever experience, but underneath those problems is a stylish and gory action game with enough kills and thrills to keep you entertained.

    Forgoes the spunk of its predecessor in a vain attempt to update and build a franchise, and brings mediocrity to an all time record by managing to be absolutely average in every aspect except plot—where it manages to be different and be dismal.

    From one who once thought the GTA series were the best ps2 games of all time, Bloodrayne2 blows them away. Watching her feed is so erotic! But there's so much more to this game than that.… Expand

    One of my favorite games. It's fun to go back and play it every now and then for the over the top gore and fun combos. I guess I have a crush on Rayne also lol.… Expand

    this is my absolute favourite game EVER(except for possible games from the future) nice and bloody with kick ass combos(some of the combos are so cool and "hidden" that they are almost like killing with a broken easter egg shell!) I recomend this game for people who live in thier video games but not too stupid to try to copy it on real people(who are these assholes who copy video games and end up with a couple of moronic parents (no no, not the victums parents) sewing (yes yes my spelling is shitty) a video game company because they were far too busy to wear a condom or get an abortion so they end up with a kid that they don't even bother to be around and put the fucking TV in their place, hell, these unplanned parents don't even bother to check the fucking ratings of video games and even if they do, they wouldn't even know not to buy thier kid the game cause they're hardley even around to know how fucking stupid their accident is cause they're way too busy off making for accidents!) oops sorry, that rant came out of no where...that's been happening way too much lately! Anywho, if you're not increadibly stupid than this game is esspecially good for getting rid of the real rage through satisfying that blood lust, and even if you're not angrey it's still fun(and you'll probably sooner or later get angry by simply playing the game due to the plott line (especially that Kagan dick head... His name should be Richard! :D(aren't I original?!) (spoken with sarcasm (well duh))) <--three...thingies!!! :D… Expand

    I find this game to be a lot of fun. Gore and sexuality through the roof, and blood, blood, blood, blood, blood. The combat is more refined than it was in the first one and the graphics are a huge step in the right direction. The cheat codes spice things up, and this is just a fun hack-n-slash title to pick up and play every now and again. It's campy, it's gory, it's sexy, and it's very enjoyable.… Expand
