BLOODRAYNE PS-2 GAME


 

In 2001, Majesco announced BloodRayne, its upcoming Playstation 2 game that would allow players to assume the role of Brimstone Society Agent BloodRayne, a half-vampire (dhampir) secret agent on a mission to hunt down and destroy the occult faction of Nazis which includes the Ahnenerbe, Thule Society, SS Technical Branch, and SS Paranormal Division..

The game was developed by Terminal Reality, the studio that created Nocture, the first Blair Witch game, and the 4x4 EVO dirining games.

BloodRayne was released on October 15, 2002 on Playstation 2 and competitor gaming consoles as well as on PC.

BloodRayne became an instant success and has spawned a sequel BloodRayne 2 PS-2 game, a PSP short on another game, and the promise of a future BloodRayne 3 PS-3 game in the future.


 


There have also been a series of Echo 3 comics.


Amazingly, the only real disappointments have been the horrible movie adaptations directed by German director Uwe Bolle. The first BloodRayne Movie starred Kristanna Loken as Rayne, but was an absolute disaster in the failed attempt to tell the tale of Rayne’s origin. Bolle then made an even more disastrous “BloodRayne 2: Deliverance” set in the US Wild West and starring Natassia Malthe.

The movie pitted Rayne against a supernatural Billy the Kid and his posse of vampire cowboys! Not to be outdone in sheer stupidity is Bolle’s third installment “BloodRayne 3: Warhammer” that is to begin filming in Croatia in the spring of 2008. Supposedly, this one will be a World War II film with both Kristanna Loken and Natassia Malthe (?)!!!

ABOUT THE GAME


BloodRayne is set in the mid-1930s and after Rayne’s initial training by the Brimstone Society in the savage swamps of Louisiana, she is transported to Argentina to investigate a huge underground bunker which is believed to be the heart of pre-war Nazi Paranormal research before the final showdown in a castle in Germany.
 
Players must use Rayne’s supernatural skills to fight both the Nazis and their unearthly spiritual demons under their manipulation/development to spread evil throughout the world.





Rayne’s unusual skills include: inhuman strength, night vision, zoom vision, incredible acrobatics and agility, and slow-motion perception that allows her to avoid a range of Nazi weaponry. Since she is a dhampir, Rayne MUST feed on the blood of her enemies to survive.

Rayne also has two unforgettable arm blades that serve as both offensive and defensive weapons as well as a snaring weapon for quick feeding.

BloodRayne is built on Terminal Reality’s Infernal game engine. The game features enhanced 3D environments, chilling sound and camera effects, and cinematic horror sequences of intense gore. Overall, it’s a fast-paced action/adventure from a third-person perspective that is quite on par with other first-person perspective games.
