    Playing the game simply feels too much like work. [Winter 2002, p.104]

    Poor AI, dull design, and lackluster presentation all add up to make Blade II a game that you should definitely skip.

    The characters were atrocious. Did the makers only use 100 polygons to build these people? Even Blade looked a bit haggard and blocky. These guys should be on a Playstation One because I can not believe the Xbox can produce only this much power.

    The animation is equally as weak, and this is especially noticeable when you see Blade's rigid front and back flips. The XBox does a noticeably better job than the PS2 though.
