    I personally think that this video game is far better than Monolith's video game called No one Lives Forever. It's so fun. And there are many weapons which you can use and the soundtrack is great! Too bad a sequel didn't released since then.

    great game. One one the best FPS on PC. Of course its a very old one so grafx aren't not the best, but music and fun is eternal, so this is definitly a legend

    the game uses the lithtech game engine and it was the second game from monolith to use it's brand new engine, but even for a game releases in 1998 it look's bad, it have an interesting level design in some areas but others were no that great.
    the game premise is so simple and the gameplay as well which only consist on shot everything you can, most of the time you'll find yourself in this repetitive level or segment that involve a sub terrain train, this happens like 8 or 9 times in total during the course of the game.
    it has a bit of the humor that the game is known for, and just like the first game, make reference to horror films like "The Shining" "Alien" "Predator" like easter eggs hiding in the levels.
    It could have potential, but a short production deadline like this game had, really affect the overall product. It had poor sales and it was a bad game that almost cause Monolith to shut down.
    Again, it's not a great or perfect game, but definitely a "check it out" game.    … Expand

    After the masterpiece the first one was the second is dull.

    Pros.: - Blood franchise. - A lot of blood. A LOT. - Dismemberment and violence. - Many weapons. Though, many won't be used. - More feasible story than the first one had. - Easter Eggs. References to previous projects and AvP. Cons.: - Many weapons won't EVER be used. - Design is very poor - not many items, things in    After the masterpiece the first one was the second is dull.

    - Enemies are dumb.
    - Some of the main antagonists have some back story or a bit of a character but it is VERY low. Not like other Monolith projects.    … Expand

    Same case as Devil May Cry 2. A okay game but a terrible sequel to a great game. While this one has it´s fun, it suffers from age in graphics and a HORRIBLE difficulty curve, while the original Blood was challenging it was fair and this one just goes to outright **** in many occasions which becomes extremely irritating really quickly, i think the only good parts are the first couple ofSame case as Devil May Cry 2.

    If Civvie and Gordon Ramsay can put this into two words, it would be this.

    This game is average. The story in uninteresting, the main character is less interesting, it moved from 2.5D to 3D and the graphics are good for the time. The gameplay is very good but the difficulty spikes are noticeable. While it is a game released in 1998, it performs poorly in 2021. I am getting low FPS at random otherwise it works ok for the most part. Games like thief 1 and Half lifeThis game is average.

    There are a lot of fresh components laboring to make this a different game, including the engine, but the end result is not at all frightening. Too much emphasis was placed on puerile humor, which I am all for in most games, but I needed something different here.

    Another "could have, should have" game. While it follows the old school formula a little too much, it can still be enjoyable if you like to annihilate things with big guns.

    The writing is of the quality that you'll find in your average Jean-Claude Van Damme flick. It tries to be witty and satirical, but is adolescent and uninteresting instead.
