Vampire: Bloodlines Reviews

Even with the recent rumors of Troika’s closure, reviews continue to surface for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. The first is at Globetechnology with an overall score of 3/5:

Still, the varied fight-versus-stealth demands of the game and the variety of quests keeps it interesting, as does the well-written story. And the various potential endings give this title more replay value than your average role-playing game. If you’re a pure battle-buff, there are better action games out there. If you appreciate a good plot and character development, this game will be up your (darkened) alley.

And the second is at Netjak with an overall score of 6.5/10:

Ultimately, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines had a lot of potential to be of game of the year caliber. It had the best story in a game in a long time and an incredible voice acting effort. Unfortunately, the worst engine coding I’ve seen in a long time, along with simple quality control issues, bog it down. I’d suggest holding out until all these problems are patched. Otherwise, this is a game that is worth playing through three or four times consecutively. It’s just a shame it is such a technical mess.
