    I find this game to be a lot of fun. Gore and sexuality through the roof, and blood, blood, blood, blood, blood. The combat is more refined than it was in the first one and the graphics are a huge step in the right direction. The cheat codes spice things up, and this is just a fun hack-n-slash title to pick up and play every now and again. It's campy, it's gory, it's sexy, and it's very enjoyable.

    The game is fun and the graphics are much better than the first game, but Bloodrayne 2 could be more enjoyable if the levels and enemies were more varied. A game that features vampires should include more outdoor nightime levels. Too much of the game is played inside. The gameplay is acceptable. Rayne's movement and appearance has improved and controlling her is much easier.

If Majesco decides to make Bloodrayne 3 (and I think it will judging by the ending) a more interesting level design should be considered. Expand

    Bigger, but NOT better than the first game. However, it's a gory guilty pleasure for fans of "The Punisher" and "The Suffering". The action can get repetitive, but the numerous attack combos and cheats keep things fresh. I would rate this with a 7.5 out of 10.

    It feels like a one-night brainstorming session came up with a whole bunch of random ideas thrown in a pot and clumsily stirred. There might be a good game in here somewhere, but it needs to cook a lot longer.
  2. Everything the original should have been two years ago but wasn’t: intense, gritty, ultra-violent, stylish and a lot of fun to play through... ONCE!

    Out of nowhere, BloodRayne 2 ranks among PS2's best hack-n-slash titles. [Dec 2004, p.124]
