	*Third Person* Note: The following pertains to the Nintendo Game Cube® version of the game, which is also available in PC, PS2®, Xbox® and MAC® platforms. "BloodRayne is the unoriginal story of a half-human/half-vampire female who has been bred to eliminate global threats. Since the story is conveniently set around the beginning of World War II the enemies are Nazis who are using an ancient artifact (stolen earlier from BloodRayne) to create an army of horrific creatures. "Are there any puzzles in BloodRayne? Sure, there is a total of three puzzles and for all you hardcore action fans who bitch about the simplest puzzle slowing down a game, well take note, all three puzzles in BloodRayne are exactly the same: find a battery to activate an elevator. For those who have become terminally stupid from absorbing too many first person shooters that have weapons and ammo scattered everywhere, the missing battery is always in the closest room to the elevator. "If greedily sucking blood and decapitations are not enough to satiate your appetite, then BloodRayne offers Dilated Perception, an event similar to Max Payne’s Bullet Time. Time comes to a crawl as amputated limbs spurting blood spin across the screen. Not violent enough for you? Then transform BloodRayne into her Blood Rage mode and stand back as the screen tints red and dismemberments come quicker and more ferocious. "In fact, here is the entire game in a nutshell: kill lots of zombies in Louisiana swamp -- watch video; kill lots of Nazis -- watch video; kill more Nazis -- watch video; kill big mutated thing -- watch video...Let me tell you, BloodRayne exemplifies and is representative of everything that is wrong with this industry." - *Notes of possible* interest to someone, just maybe (as of November 20, 2004):** Shooting of a BloodRayne motion picture has recently wrapped in (where else?) Romania, with a budget of $30 million. It stars Kristanna Loken (of T3 repute), Sir Ben Kingsley (Gandhi? Oh no!), Michelle Rodriguez, and Michael Madsen. *The game BloodRayne 2* is currently out on PS2 & Xbox, and is expected in early 2005 for PC.**
