Vampire Rain

Metachronos overall score = 3.8 / 10

Positive
- You get to kill 100s of zombies
- Combining stealth gameplay with vampires is a great concept

Negative
- Truly insane difficulty
- Vampires are almost impossible to kill
- Enemy vision cones give just a rough approximation of what they can see
- Dark and confusing--yet somehow still linear--level design
- Jarring, nonstop cutscenes break up the spooky ambiance

It's entirely reasonable to look at Vampire Rain's concept and hope for something good to come of it. It may be a Splinter Cell also-ran, but the bloodsucking enemies and gorier moments give it a sufficient level of intrigue for the horror crowd. Too bad that any unlucky souls forced to trudge through this masochistically awful adventure would likely drive a stake through their own heart less than an hour in. Here's hoping someone sees the potential in future genre mash-ups like this one--ideally someone with a better game design.

i rented this game. its very hard. but not so bad,

looks like a lot of sniping

yeah, lots of weapons but it's really difficult to kill a zombie

unlike most games a shot of the head would do it
