”Ooh, are we having fun yet?” When Blade mutters these words as you run though the thousandth dim-witted vampire it can be hard not to see the irony – even the game is getting tired.

It's much better than a game that totally sucked, which games it just another average, and unremarkable, third-person action title. [Nov 2002, p.127]
Play Magazine
Blade II's got enough meat flyin', head choppin', body-disintegrating action to fill any daywalker's dance card along with some cool beats and beautiful interiors. [Nov 2002, p.94]
Electric Playground
I think they shot themselves in the foot when they made the sword something you have to power-up to--that should be something you have continual access to.

The control scheme is fresh and unique, even though it isn’t implemented the way in which it probably was meant to be.
Read Full Review >Armchair Empire
Suffers from poor controls, insufferable repetition, and a decided lack of fun.
Read Full Review >Adrenaline Vault
A textbook movie-to-game cash-in. Everything in it is halfheartedly done; the graphics and sound are canned and formulaic, as is the gameplay.
Read Full Review >GamePro
Even taking the gameplay at face value, there are still flaws like horrendous enemy A.I. and a severely limited set of offensive and defensive moves.

What there is, generally, is okay - fun, visceral combat, easy controls, reasonable graphics. It just needs more moves, more weapons, more variety... just more in general.
Read Full Review >IGN
Clunky, methodical, and definitely on the boring side, Mucky Foot's latest creation should have spent a little more time in the dark before coming into the sunlight.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Poor AI, dull design, and lackluster presentation all add up to make Blade II a game that you should definitely skip.
Read Full Review >GameZone
You would think that they could make a fun game out of a fun movie, but Blade II does not come close to touching the wild action and appealing story that made the film such a delight to watch.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly
Horrendous artificial intelligence makes the hordes of enemies act more like automatons on the fritz than menacing bloodsuckers. [13 Sept 2002, p.159]
Gaming Age
The animation is equally as weak, and this is especially noticeable when you see Blade's rigid front and back flips. The XBox does a noticeably better job than the PS2 though.
Read Full Review >GamerWeb Sony
The promising foundation is very nearly forgotten due to a rickety structure atop it. Regardless of whether or not you’ve watched the movies, chances are, you’ll be disappointed with this one.

If there's one thing I've learned from Blade II, it's this: Vampires love monotony. [Nov 2002, p.183]
Maxim Online
Die-hard fans (all three of you) will be glad to know that the game religiously follows the flick; there’s no plot, plenty of bad acting, and loads of cheesy CGI zombies for you to Ginsu to bits.
Read Full Review >PSX Nation
Mindless action/adventure fare of the wrong and ill-conceived variety.
Read Full Review >G4 TV
Enemies in Blade II display some of the worst AI to date. They tend to attack only when you get close to them. There are no variations in enemy attacks.
Read Full Review >Gamer's Pulse
No soul, no panache, no cool. The extremely repetitive gameplay and poor controls, along with mediocre graphics and a sub-par plot make this title a strong candidate for the bargain bin (or maybe even the round file).

This game is awesome!! You can tell where the horror fans are with the 10 votes, and the non horror fans with the 1 and 2 votes. Another great horror game for the PS2.
