  • Summary: Vampire Rain: Altered Species is an intense game of stealth, survival and all out skill that takes place during a cold, wet night in a suburban, west coast city in the US. For some time now, mankind has been battling the ferocious and terrifying Nightwalkers, a race of superhuman vampires who crave human blood. People have been disappearing at night; the lucky ones are found dead, but those less fortunate are reborn as Nightwalkers, and are bound by instinct to forcefully recruit unwitting victims into the Nightwalker army. Gamers take the role of John Lloyd, a member of a US special government unit created to defeat the Nightwalkers, and the only human to ever survive a physical encounter with them.

    While not the most ground breaking stealth title, Vampire Rain is worth a try for a stealth fan, even with its flaws.

    Vampire Rain: Altered Species has a lot working against it. Substandard AI, deficient visuals, exasperating difficulty and a host of other problems that make you wonder how much effort and care was actually poured into the game.

    A neat idea with some of the worst execution I've seen on the PlayStation 3. The title has an incoherent story, bad graphics, bad voice acting, bad level design, extremely linear gameplay for a stealth title, and a level of difficulty that seems more dumb than difficult.

    A year after its disastrous debut on the Xbox 360, Vampire Rain is still a pain in the neck.

    I did finish the game. It was not amazing by any means, but overall I have way worse encounters. The biggest thing i took out of the expeirence was the rain dropping effects on the ground. As sad as that is.… Expand

    A 5.1 by the users? Thats being generous. The game has an uncanny resemblence to the Metal Gear Solid series and the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell series. As awesome as the two mixed together would sound, this game proves us wrong. The commercial of the video game doesn't even show any gameplay. Its just a cliche horror movie scene. Altered Species, how about Altered Feces. Video Link = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDiBpSn8IT8… Expand

    Why does it have weapons? For one, your weapons do close to no damage at all, but the enemies kill you with one or two hits. And the crabby controls sure didn't help...… Expand
