    The added bonuses in gameplay, such as critical hits and non-linear play, are what make this game definitely worth checking out. So get out your dancing shoes, and start slashing to the beat.

    Stylish and fun despite some repetitiveness, this is one of the better action games you can pick up this year.

    Blade in the end disappoints with frustratingly cheap gameplay that offers little fun.

    This is old-school gaming -- it feels like Urban Chaos, looks like the first Tomb Raider, and smells like a bomb.
  6. GameSpot

    Blade lacks the energy of the film, the feel of the comic, and the standards set by other games in its genre.

    Blade is a kick-ass hero in the comics and movies, but take away the "kick" and what you're left with adequately describes this game.

    The game just doesn't work. This is hard to explain, but for whatever reason Blade simply doesn't gel properly. There is a sort of intangible loathing that emanates from it.

    An ugly, late-as-hell game with a lousy framerate and confusticated control. I dunno. Whys and wherefores shouldn't be my department. Just don't buy this.
  10. Game Revolution

    When you add in the fact that the camera seems to have a mind of it's own, then factor in the slowdown, compounded with the fact that you can barely see your opponents because it's so freakishly dark, you have to wonder why you're wasting time on this painfully inadequate, near crap game.
  11. Gaming Age

    The actual game is such a mess that even hardcore action gamers will think twice about ridding the world of vampires.

    Tell everyone you meet not to buy or rent this game. Ever.

    Si buscas ponzoñoso en el diccionario, debería haber una foto de este juego en la descripción. Roña suprema que no desearía ni a mi peor enemigo.

    If this game had analog controls then maybe it would be playable but this is frustrating trash.

    One of the greatest PS1 games and awesome game about my favourite comic book hero - Blade.
