So again, I find myself being the only person who seems to be buying anything relatively popular
.
I've been hearing all about how much better the gameplay is going to be this time around. Less repetitive, more moves. Well, it's just as repetitive, and more moves. The first level puts you in a mansion, so all you do is roam around this mansion hacking and slashing as usual. It wouldn't be so bad except every door you go through takes you to a hallway that looks just like the one you left. Enemies are retarded and actually WAIT for you to feed before attacking you. The moves are nice.
Graphically, they could have done better. Rayne looks awful. There's something odd about the model they used for her. Her head doesn't look quite right, and there's something about her face that bugs me. Lips don't move anywhere near something that resembles synching up with what's being said.
Acrobatics are nice. Slashing at enemies when sliding down a stair's rail is quite nice.
I have a feeling I'm going to get bored with this as fast as I did with the first one.
