Description

Note: Playable in both single & multiplayer modes
German Title: Vampire - Die Maskerade - Redemption

Third Person

"Vampire is a richly detailed 3D RPG with a complex story and a cast of interesting characters. Although some dialogue choices are provided, most interaction is through predefined conversations. The third-person perspective is viewed from a lower altitude than games like Planescape: Torment or Fallout so you are closer to the characters and have a better sense of who they are. As one would expect, the game is very dark since sunlight is not a vampire's friend.

"In single-player mode, Vampire is a very linear story with clearly defined objectives. New areas open as your tasks require access and old areas tend to close behind you. In short, you follow a predefined game path with little room for creativity except in the way you fight. For those new to RPGs, the fixed storyline may make the game more comfortable. Instead of being faced with a wide landscape to wander in confusion, Vampire pushes you along from the beginning. I suspect, however, that this rigidity may prove to be too restrictive for the RPG veteran.

"Despite the single-player limitations, I believe that Vampire will ultimately shine in the multi-player environment. As the kinks are worked out and Story-Tellers build their skills, this game has the potential of providing an unprecedented peek into the World of Darkness."
