Blade II, based on several scenes from the movies, especially here yo get to storm a club full of vampires!
The graphics are good (not brilliant, but good). It has a pretty good playability, the controls take a little bit of adjustment but the moves are especially cool! Its glaring problem is the repetition, constant action is mostly all there is, but this is really sweet!
It is, however, addictive! The constant fighting always seems to have me wanting to come back for more... As you progress and gain points (by doing objectives, killing vampires and getting glyphs) you can get more weapons. You start off with just a pistol as an option, but when you have 2,000pts (just about possible on the first level, I was 70pts short) you may get the glaive. Also available are silver knuckledusters (increasing your hand to hand power) UV grenades (only usable weapons against reapers, and kills loads of enemy!) and the shotgun (decimates enemy in one shot). Some of hich require 50,000pts.
Finally, you have an anger meter which increases as you fight enemy. When it is full you can draw your sword, one swipe and their down, one swing can take about 4-6! Despite repetition, this is atleast worth renting, but if you are a Blade fan then you will want to buy it!
