For some time now, mankind has been battling the ferocious and terrifying Nightwalkers, a race of superhuman vampires who crave human blood. People have been disappearing at night; the lucky ones are found dead, but those less fortunate are reborn as Nightwalkers, and are bound by instinct to forcefully recruit unwitting victims into the Nightwalker army. Gamers take the role of John Lloyd, a member of a US special government unit created to defeat the Nightwalkers, and the only human to ever survive a physical encounter with them.

    While not the most ground breaking stealth title, Vampire Rain is worth a try for a stealth fan, even with its flaws.

    Like the vampires portrayed here, this game just plain sucks.

    Vampire Rain: Altered Species has a lot working against it. Substandard AI, deficient visuals, exasperating difficulty and a host of other problems that make you wonder how much effort and care was actually poured into the game.

    The PS3 version fares no better than last year's abysmal 360 release.
  5. GameFocus

    The whole thrill of stealth action is the ability to outsmart your opponent. So what does Vampire Rain do? It gives you singular, trial and error paths that has about as much variety as a prison meal.

    Often people complain about the expensive cost of the videogames, but paying 70 € for a great title don't seem to be excessive for anybody. However Vampire Rain costs 60€, which is offensive if you look at its quality. If after reading this review you continue thinking that Altered Species deserves an opportunity don't complain that we didn´t advise you… A title not only to forget, but also to avoid.

    It's like the developers didn't even play the games they were blatantly ripping off.

    A really underrated game that is really fun if you sit yourself into the Mechanics and enjoy a more slow pace but tvilling game.

    The enemy    A really underrated game that is really fun if you sit yourself into the Mechanics and enjoy a more slow pace but tvilling game.

    The enemy are exodus scary to fight because they can kill you in one or two hits so you have to avoid them as much as possible and when you find get a gun that can kill den. You don't have enough bullets to really fight you have to pick your battles and it's so fun and interesting to do.

    the weed of rain falls atmospheric the sound all around you and your surround sound and a feeling that this is the most scary and longest night in your life because the tension is always there you always feel like you're just a little stiff from dying and the gameplay and story show it

    Any if you're into AA games, it's going to be a fun experience and it's a fun Japanese spin on a survival/stealth games.    … Expand

    This is nonsensical indulgent garbage. I guess if you really want to help the economy go ahead and pick this one up. I'd rather watch paint dry.
