    No matter which angle you decide to look at Vampire Rain: Altered Species from, the game is bad. The graphics scream PS2. Sounds such as the death groan and boss grunts are laughable. The story is boring. The acting is hammed up in the worst way. The HUD is hideous. The levels are linear. The majority of weapons are useless. The AI is retarded. The enemies are too powerful while the bosses are too weak.

    Vampire Rain is a drab-looking game, and not just because of the weather effects. The streets are low res, empty, flat, and architecturally unimaginative. The character models are basic and repetitive. They animate awkwardly. The voiceovers are a mixed bag of over-the-top camp and weak recitation. Only the ambient music shows any sign of effort and originality.

    It may be a Splinter Cell also-ran, but the bloodsucking enemies and gorier moments give it a sufficient level of intrigue for the horror crowd. Too bad that any unlucky souls forced to trudge through this masochistically awful adventure would likely drive a stake through their own heart less than an hour in. Here's hoping someone sees the potential in future genre mash-ups like this one--ideally someone with a better game design.

    Vampire Rain was a concept that looked great on paper. A stealth game with vampires? Excellent! Unfortunately, the end result is an abomination of a videogame that doesn't even deserve a rental. Stay far away from this one--though if you get close, the enemies probably won't even see you.

    Like many of Artoon's games down the years. Vampire Rain had the potential to be something special, but ended up crippled by some hugely questionable design errors. We say 'errors' rather than 'decisions', because at no point does it make sense to routinely make the player suffer at every turn. Nor does it make sense to design an open-ended map and then make it nigh-on impossible to succeed unless you choose the path the designers want you to.

    A menudo la gente se queja de lo caros que son los videojuegos, pero pagar 70 euros por un gran título no le sienta mal a casi nadie. En cambio Vampire Rain cuesta 60€, lo cual viendo su calidad es poco menos que insultante. Si después de leerte este análisis sigues creyendo que el videojuego merece una oportunidad luego no digas que no te lo advertimos…Un título no sólo para olvidar, sino también a evitar.
