When I bought this game, I was skeptical. But I've since found that this game delivers. It's no masterpiece, by any means--but I wasn't expecting one. This game is good to get your ya-yas out, relieve some stress, etc. Don't buy Bloodrayne if you're looking for a complex story, stunning graphics, or innovations in the video game industry--this game is purely there for fun. Quite frankly, I've had more fun with "Bloodrayne" than I have with any other Nintendo title for quite some time.

Graphics--could be tighter. A lot of unneccesary attention is paid to breasts. Blood flows everywhere.

Movement--default controls are horrid, but you can change the control set-up and then adjust sensitivity. When the controls are customized, Bloodrayne zips around the screen like you would expect a real vampire would. Bloodrayne's combos are top-notch.

Sound effects--would have liked more music. Bloodrayne's witty banter gets old sometimes. But gun shots and dismemberment sounds are great. Strong language.

Innovation--utilizes "bullet time" ideas, but also includes heat-vision. A good idea. I like it how Bloodrayne can continue to use her guns even while she's draining somebody.

Buy it if your a fan of horror games and looking for an edgier title than most Nintendo offerings.

Congratulations: You found the GameCube version of Blood Rayne. Yep, it's still available...
If you're one of those gamers who are looking for more blood and gore, you're going to find it here. The game takes place in the 1930's, but if Agent Bloodrayne is still alive (this may be just a game, but there is no proof that she doesn't really exist) and has a Gamecube herself, she's probably be hopping mad that this version got short-changed. When I played an X-Box demo, I noticed some things there that were missing from the GC version: extra textures on Rayne's costume and darthish (work with me here, people!) voices to match the slow-motion. I don't know about the extra textures, but you don't need an X-Box to slow the speed of someone's voice (play TUROK on N64 with a Big Heads cheat).
+ Female Hero; lot's of blood; Nazi-killing (if you're not a neo-nazi gamer); Rayne says "F--k" on a Nintendo console; Rayne's outfit; cheat codes; nice tunes (they're in there, you just have to listen carefully)
- faulty controls (you have to press the shoulder buttons in until they click to get any response); lack of control options; can't rescue Jewish prisoners; can't fight Hitler; Rayne's lines can get repetative; missing textures from X-Box (and possibly PS2) version.
Also, there is a sequil planned for X-Box and PlayStation 2, and PC, but a GameCube version is not likely. Sorry, GameCube fans, I love her too.

this game was fun to begin with...nothing special, no ultra realistic graphics...but i bought this game a year ago and i couldnt finish the first boss. it was impossable! Even my brother - the video game know it all - could not figure out what to do...we basically ran around loosing life over and over again for a half hour until we gave up and that was that. thats money lost that could have been spent on something better.
