A perfect "vampire romance"

Do you like vampires?Did you ever wish to become one?How many games do you know where you can feel what it is like to be a vampire?
Redemption brings us to the XII century, I believe, where our first and main character - knight Christoff is falling in love with a nun Anezka, who saved his life after he was terribly injured during the war.But the things arent that simple - at the time while Christoff is killing some vampires,who terrorized Prague, he becomes an object for a few different vampire clans.Yes, vampires arent just some savage creatures, they live like people, in different groups, clans, and laws (for the further introduction to that I suggest you to read some info on the tabletop game Vampire the Masquerade).So one of the vampire clans (a "good" one) decides to make Christoff an immortal vampire- a part of them, before he gets killed by the "evil" others.That causes our hero even more troubles, since it is totally impossible for a vampire and a nun to be together forever.And he wanders off into the dark night.But Anezka doesnt give up, leaves the monastery and goes on the search for Christoff,and ,of course, ends up captive in the opposite vampire group.So our goal is to find her.But thats not going to be easy.During the game Cristoff meets other vampires, who willingly join him, but you never know who to trust, the vampire world is full of traitors and intrigues as well!The gaming process consists of two parts.The first one is located in Prague and Vienne, still old times.And the second part is London/NY just before the coming new year 2000.
Pros- great plot, 3 different endings (depending on the character's humanity level),beautiful music and voiceover with different accents.
Cons - other characters in the party tend to act pretty stupid sometimes, walking in the walls,or not really helping much in the battles.The original "Masquerade" idea is a bit wrong, since the characters from different clans dont have their 'special' magic.The saving system is upsetting, the game saves automatically everytime you enter a new level.But the enemies\things dont re-appear when you re-enter the level.The gameplay is "point and click", no, not a quest.But you have to click for everything.

In total, it is a good vampire action rpg for people who love vamps and good stories with a twist;)

Great little action/rpg game

This game has its terrific moments but is also mired by a few setbacks that keep it from 5 stars.

The graphics, storyline, cut scenes, weapons, armor, spells, and characters that join your party are all wonderful. Even 3 years after its release these all hold up to todays games.
And the manual is terrific. It is chock full of drawings, storys, and other little extras that many manuals dont have.

However, the pathfinding will make you pull your hair out. In tight passages you will have to control and position each of your party members. Another short coming is the unbalanced difficulty. You might be plowing through a dungeon effortlessly only to be walloped by the boss in 2 hits.

All in all this game can be bought for pocket change now and will definitely give you your moneys worth.

the game is awesome but volcano games stinks

Vampire is a great game, bridging several hundred years and some great elements from the role play version. Volcano games was a nightmare though, after I posted my negative feedback they refused to send a working version until Amazon got involved. All in all, buy the game, but not from volcano games.

Awesome

I just got into the game and I have played it for more hours than I care to admit. The story line was very interesting and the graphics along with the sound effects were a little chilling. A wide variety of creatures and the fact that you could customize your characters' attributes leaves the player for a number of ways to defeat any such foe.

Worst AI pathing award 2002

Nice graphics, good concept, interesting characters. Horrible, unusable AI pathing. In later levels with a large party its almost impossible to keep them together -- party members just freeze on the spot, get caught on zone geometry and generally ignore any instructions you give them, often resulting in a re-zone to regroup them, taking up to 5 minutes. Made the game get boring very fast, it went back in the box after about 3 hours.

Great Game

I liked the game very much. Graphics are exciting. Sounds are true to life. The game plays well.

I didn't like waiting for all the saves though. I didn't particularly like the way the game ended.

I hope they come out with an add-on or a part two.

The game is fun and a must have for every Vampire Fan.

I got this game as a bundle software package when I purchased my computer, it came with no manual so playing the game was difficult at first but after two weeks I finnished it.

It was a little harder than I had anticipated though.

A Great Thriller!!

This game is one of the good thriller's i've ever come across. It's a cooooool game with a good storyline but once the story ends the games over. I didn't feel like playing it more than once.
About the problem people are having with the save game feature -all they have to do is press the "Esc" button on their keyboard and a box will appear asking them whether they wanna save their game or quit. So whenever u wanna save your game during game play at given time hit "Esc" on the keyboard and save your game, as soon as u do that u can continue with your game immediately. I didn't need to download any patches for the save game feature.
This game is a good buy. For those who haven't, try it.

excelent game

This game could have been so much better if they'd spent a little more time getting the bugs out. I am a white wolf junkie so I love the game on principle but it was too "hack & slah" to be a good rpg. There needed to be more plot developement.

well the game its self is good but old
the gameplay is restricting wich gives it a chalange the ai is not very smart but it is old and over all its worth playing for the story line and multiple endings
