A remaster of BloodRayne 2
Enhanced and updated for modern consoles, this is the definitive edition of BloodRayne 2. BloodRayne is back with new acrobatic movements, rail sliding, fast-paced blade and gun combat and fatal finishing moves. Use Rayne’s dhampir powers like time dilation to rack up points in the extensive combo system in this brutally satisfying continuation of the iconic series.

"I'm guessing that dress will cause a few of them."
Yoooo!
What?!
I can move around and shit!
There are combos and shit!
The combat in general is just so fucking sick now.
The dismemberment is awesome.
The blood is awesome.
The sex appeal is awesome.
The combat, and the way it's so immediately superior to the first game's combat, is awesome.
I love how sometimes you'll slice someone's leg off and they'll hop around on the other for a bit or crawl on the floor.
I love the new traversal system. You swing on poles and slide down railings and shit.
The pre-rendered cutscenes are just as awesome as in the first game.
"Dhampir go down just like anybody else."
"Aw, not just like anybody else."
But it definitely feels more PS2 than PC in that it loses the charm that the first game had. And in that the graphics are kind of...worse? Less detailed. I think it's especially apparent when the characters speak.
The art direction might be better, but the execution isn't. It's solid, but it's not better.
Ironically, despite the new combat, this feels way more repetitive and tedious. At least towards the end when the enemies become more annoying. Maybe it's because of the abundance of bosses.
People say that this one is easier than the first, and they're clearly out of their minds.
It's sort of the opposite of the first. Everything points to this one being the superior game, with less tedious combat, but it's not. Maybe there just was something to the first game's simplicity.
This is still fucking awesome, though. I could probably play the mansion over and over again.
I love Rayne! This is more Rayne.

UPDATED 17/02/22
Yay they fixed it! The physics are totally fixed, the cheats are back, the lip sync works again and for the first time since the game was released it plays a cutscene originally missing from the game unless you completed it. Wish the game launched this way but I'm happy it got fixed. Still the most silly, campy, b-movie, violent game I've played and I love it.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: (November 2021)
I adore this game but it's hard to recommend it as is with all the glitches. Quite disappointed since the OG Xbox version and the Terminal Cut on PC were great. Hoping it'll be fixed ASAP but as of now I find it hard to recommend. It isn't Silent Hill HD levels of awful but the physics definitely aren't working as they should and they're necessary for so much of the game.
Will update this when the game is patched.
