Yet another great RPG. Keep em' coming. I'm a big fan of the Vampire World created by White Wolf. Especially the Dark Ages setting. So when they created Vampire: Redemption for the PC I was stoked. Even though that was a great game in itself it just didn't have enought action to please some of us out there. Now when I heard that White Wolf was launching another PC game set in the Vampire World and that it would be set in the Masquerade setting I was a little iffy on the idea of buying it. After seeing some previews though I have to say I was convinced it would be a good game. I had no idea that when I played it, it would turn out to be a great game instead of good. The one great thing of the game was the atmosphere. This game truly made me feel as if I was a vampire in modern day society. From drinking the blood of almost whoever you liked to the dark night clubs, I was totally immersed. This game blows away anything done before even in the movies. The game totally captured the life of a vampire in such vivid detail. Now having the option of choosing to be of a different clan was a plus over the original Vampire game. This meant replayability, which I am big fan of. I played the game as the Ventrue clan, which was fun as heck. I enjoyed the main quest, the overall story was quite fun and the sub quests were a blast. I loved how shooting and fighting required stats and not just mouse clicks. In the end I ended up not using guns much even though I collected everyone I found just to see what each one did. I got really good with the melee weapons and the wide variety of weapons was really fun to play with. I ended up going with the katana and the trench coat. I felt like Morpheus in the matrix just carving up enemy after enemy. The only problem I had with this game was a bug which happened when you tried to leave the Hunter's Cave. But luckily Troika came out with a patch that fixed it and allowed me to finish the game. But I did have a downtime of a couple of weeks and I was unsure if I would ever finish it. I was glad to finish the game. I admit I was expecting a little bit better of an ending, but it was satisying none the least. I tried all the endings and they were all ok, not worth replaying the game just to see the endings. Now replaying the game with a different clan and approaching the game's situations in a different manner is a good enough reason to play the game over. Any RPG fan and maybe even some action fans will enjoy this game. Lets hope this sets a standard for RPG's and that we see many more great ones come out in the following months.
