VAMPIRE
RAIN
In
a
dark,
rain
soaked
city,
you’re
part
of
a
special
ops
team
out
to
eliminate
the
vicious,
dangerously
growing
Nightwalker
population
(evolved
from
Vampires),
set
to
take
over
the
world.
Once
you
master
the
essentials,
the
tale
unfolds
via
a
mix
of
action,
high-tech
weaponry
and
skillful
strategy
–
think
Resident
Evil
with
blood
suckers
as
opposed
to
rotting
zombies,
but
with
the
stealth
element
of
Metal
Gear
Solid.
If
you
dig
Clive
Barker’s
Jericho,
you’ll
slip
into
this
one
with
ease,
and
where
Jericho’s
initial
premise
smells
a
bit
like
Hellboy,
with
Vampire
Rain
one
could
draw
distant
parallels
to
Blade.
The
predominantly
after
dark
and
rainy
atmosphere
offer
up
a
great
mood,
and
is
well
rendered.
The
sound
is
more
than
adequate,
from
the
night
sounds
to
the
gunshots,
except
for
looping
bystander
conversations.
Unless
there
are
vampires
to
snuff,
some
gamers
not
too
hot
on
the
mission-based
first
person
set-up
will
find
running
along
streets
and
rooftops
to
get
to
your
designated
point
of
arrival
a
tad
tedious.
This
makes
for
an
exciting
and
bloody
change
from
your
regular
Navy
S.E.A.L.S.
styled
military
ops,
but
won’t
necessarily
take
you
around
the
block
more
than
once.
If
you’re
not
much
of
a
vampire or military
ops
fan,
this
is
probably
not
the
game
for
you
-
if
both
of
these
genres
get
your
heart
racing
however,
you’ll
swallow
this
like
a
cup
of
warm
blood.
For
adult
gamers
only.
