Vampire The Masquerade: BUGlines One of the most amazing games that came out during 2004, but it could have been much better! Read On... Well, you are a new born Kindred (Vampires are called Kindred) and you'll work as an enforcer for the so called PRINCE La Croix who is the head of a dominant sect in L.A. (The Camarilla). At the begining, you get to choose your clan between 7 choices : Gangrel,Brujah,Malkavian,Ventrue,Tremere,Toreador and the ugly Nosferatu. Each of these clans have their unique vampire disciplines, and all make for a very different gameplay experience. Using the Source engine (Half Life 2 engine) Troika was able to give life to a very credible L.A. and some of the most impressive NPC characters faces ever seen. Jeanette Voerman, Vicky Velour or the bar owner Venus make Lara Croft look like an orc. The game has many sidequests, which for a RPG fan like me are absolutely a MUST. I really enjoyed the "detective" sidequests to search for someone and particularly one where you have to track a Serial Killer. The music is outstanding and gives a very tense ambience to the game, particularly in some areas. So with all these strong points why give the game a 4?? Well, the BUGlines. And unfortunately has many of them, including one that'll send you to the desktop no matter what. Fortunately a patch has been released that fixed most of the bugs. Other than the bugs, the loadings are absolutely frustating. When you buy this game make sure you DOWNLOAD THE PATCH, because with the patch you have a 5 STAR GAME HERE!!
