Quick Synopsis	Overall Score
Enjoyment: BloodRayne 2 is a thoroughly enjoyable game despite its flaws. Graphics: Plenty of pixels to go around (especially where it counts) Replay: Once you've played BloodRayne 2 once you probably won't play it again.

Rayne and the Brimstone Society continue their quest to exterminate the super natural in BloodRayne 2 which takes place in present day. This time Rayne is hunting her own siblings. In the first BloodRayne her father, Kagan was killed accidentally and she was disappointed that it was not her that took his life. He was a Nazi leader that headed the super natural experiments during the war. Now the Cult of Kagan has been formed which battle to make vampires the supreme beings. Sound similar to Hitler’s plan? The Kagan Cult plans to do this by manipulating the environment so that they can move freely at all times. How can they do this you ask, by creating a Shroud that is fueled by the blood of humans. This Shroud makes a perfect barrier that keeps out the suns rays so that the vampires can travel during the daylight hours.

At the start of the game you enter into a mansion for a party, but your real purpose is to find out what’s going on in there. Rayne isn’t acting alone in this game, she is accompanied by a witty guy named Severin who she collaborates with on her missions. If you liked her outfit in the first game your going to love the seductive little number that she wears in this one for her appearance at the party. It’s a black form fitting dress that looks like it is made out of leather by the way it shines, it has slits up both sides that go to the top of her hips to expose her black boots that come to mid-thigh. The top of her dress looks like she is wearing a collar around her neck that connects to three thin strips of fabric which keep her dress from falling off her breasts, then the dress is cut down the middle right to the top of her naval. When Rayne steps into the party all eyes are on her.

The tutorial takes place during the mission inside of the mansion, it is very simple to learn. The controls handle nicely and the camera is very easy to manipulate, but it has some of the same problems that the first BloodRayne had which is getting stuck inside some of the scenery, this usually requires resetting the game to remedy the problem. As far as the visual aspect of the game goes it is aesthetically appealing to the eye. Each area that she enters is very stylishly done and her enemies are just as nicely made as she is.
