  • would of liked it if it had the same fap material.... not really blood rayne if u cant fap or look at the hot chick >_>

  • This game is the equivalent of shit taking a shit! It fucking Sucks ass! Even though I got it for free, I still think it sucks donkey Anus.! Oh and its NOTHING like Castlevania!

  • For all of the people complaining about this because it's not BloodRayne 3, I'll say this: After B2, I thought BloodRayne was a dead franchise. I was pleasantly surprised to hear about this one and thought it was a great game. Even though a third was intended, those plans fell through long ago, so count yourself lucky to even have this. Besides, the BR games have SyFy movie storylines anyway, they aren't that deep and they never took themselves too seriously. I don't know why some fans do.

  • Bloodrayne's stigma has nothing to do with the game franchise but with uwe boll's crappy movies, just like this piece of shit. SHAME ON YOU IGN for sending a guy who has no idea what the previous games were like to review this, he completely failed to understand the series and it's differences with bloodrayne 1+2. I'm not saying you need to be a bloodrayne fanboy or anything, but you can't forget the past of a seires when introducing a new game to it. Overall fuck this shit, and fuck ign.

  • i luv how the vampire hunters look just like belmonts

  • This game is so awsome

  • gamespot gave it a 6.5

  • This game is actually really good, the only problems with it are floaty control issues and not being able to cancel a combo to quickly evade. Anyone who says this game sucks either hasn't played it or got their ass completely handed to them.

  • it's like a Shank

  • @R4zv4n66 FUCK NO, ITS NOTHING Like Shank! Shank has varied combat, this piece of shit game just has you button mashing over and over again!

  • 1:50 he says "heal himself"

  • Booberella?

  • gives the notion of a fast way to pass time with meaningless killing things for no actual reason...What a shame there is no story-line worth mentioning.It also seems they did not really develop the character in any way.

    well,the game looks like the good-old types,seems smooth and flowing and actually gives a challenge worth accepting,so yay for the nostalgia of gameplay!

    Yet,it's an easily forgotten game,and not really worth to play it a second time,unless while waiting somewhere for something.

  • Downloadable game? eww no thanks.

  • I did download it on sale. No major complaints. Besides I'd have to get the 3 bloodrayne games. They're better than the 3 movies that were released. How do you release 3 BAD movies for a game? Uwe Boll.

  • Looks like a comic books storie.

  • My Penis Brought Me Here .

  • I disagree with this entire review and the graphics are not that good.

  • sweet ;-)

  • wow the guy loves this game?

    u stupid , i hate it, its a insult to the other 2 games

    why dident they continue no 2 >.< u lerft it on a cliffd hanger and they make this crap

  • Personally I found it hard to control, and although old school games weren't exactly easy that's because awkward controls were forgivable back then. Now it's a bit harder to look past stiff controls with the likes of Super Meat Boy and New Super Mario Bros. I probably could forgive this game if it didn't have all the platforming sections because then I wouldn't need to use the awkward movements. Oh well, I guess some people can look past that, to each their own.

  • I usually hate most guys at IGN who review games,but this one is actually good.Whats his name?

  • And here I thought that the movies killed the series, hope there is more to come.

  • wow...got to buy this one...

  • This is on sale right now, is it worth 600 points?

  • @donteatthefishsticks Im not sure what points are exactly. But this game is wonderfully made and if you enjoy a dark themed comic book styled atmosphere, Im sure you couldnt go wrong wth getting it

  • @donteatthefishsticks Did you not watch the review? Dude this game will kick your ass and you will keep coming back for more, its just that awesome. You Buy Now YES!

  • @Sac077 Haha okay I bought it, very happy with the purchase. :)

  • ok cool.. wish it was following the story line though and not arcade. :( I'm not giving my hopes up for Bloodrayne 3 AND a remake of all the bloodrayne movies.. NOT from uwe boll!!!!

  • i really like it but there were a few pet peeves.

    for their license work wayforward always had some great artists (like chris bachalo or mark brooks) for title, menu and cutscene artwork. in BR:Betrayal we have the blown up in game sprite, and the sprite isn't supposed to be shown that big. It looks unpolished. a few enemy variations (at least color variants) would have been nice too.

  • this game sucke they rooend the game : ( just like the game burnout the world of old game r being put to shame

  • i was looking forward to the third installment of BloodRayne. I loved the first and second one. The first one is slightly better to me. The second one has other cool features the first one lacks and vice versa. I hoped they would bring them together, improve the graphics and give her new vicous finishers. They should make her bites/feeding more brutal and add bites to the combo like biting off a finger or two to disarm, ripping out the jugular with her teeth then watch the guy bleed to death

  • @Lionel4482 you know, a little more imagination. BloodRayne should've been available in the new Mortal Kombat. This new one is a disappointment to a long time fan of the franchise like myself. I've seen all the movies 'cept the latest. Read the comics and played all the games 'cept this latest one. You can't have someone who's not familiar give a worthwhile review. It needs to be a fan.

  • @Lionel4482 You love it too much. Loosen your grip and stop letting past experiences cloud new ones.

  • @MidianGTX you're right. I'll give it a try and if then i feel that the game is not very good, I'll be right back on here to tell you personally how much it sucks. Deal?

  • I can play this game on my mobile

  • Fuk gamespot. this game deserves more than 5.5 !

  • Played the demo today, I am unlocking the whole game.

  • grafics are great.. jokign?!

  • 0:16 Well for someone that no knows nothing about the franchise, then they have no right to give a biased review of it. I myself think that the game is not the same as to compare the last two, not because it's 2D, but rather the game lacks in audio department as well as her snappy one-liners. Without this, her personality dies. I think what they were trying to do here is to make it more like the comics, as you can see it has that comic book atmosphere.

  • so let me get it stright.... this game got 9.0 and battlefield 3 got 9.0? sounds logic..

  • I'm still waiting on BloodRayne :L

    Ohh btw, can u believe that i've never seen BloodRayne 2 at any GameStop...that sucks that's a must have and I can't fucking find it anywhere :(

  • @MrJamolcha Why would anyone trade in BloodRayne 2 to gamestop? :D

  • @TheJuicySushi idk haha ive been looking for that bitch for close to a year and no success...guess ill have to start looking online

  • Away bloodrayne many great mammaries...um I mean memories

  • the only thing that's stopping me from getting this is psn's random sales that make me feel i should have waited -_-

  • why do i click videos with boobs in the thumbnail?

  • This looks like a shitty flash version of Castlevania... And where were the luscious tits I was promised in the thumbnail??

  • I think for ACTUAL BloodRayne fans like me who mind you have been waiting for BloodRayne 3 for almost 2-3 years are HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED with the make of this game. This review is bullshit. It ridiculous to end the second game with not a small cliffhanger but a HUGE one leaving fans guessing what happened? This isn't cool and this game is a disrespect to BloodRayne fans and to gamers who played Castlevania.

  • @fashionjuhnkiie21 As a Castlevania I can say that I am happy Bloodrayne: Betrayal is out since Konami keeps jerking console gamers around by keeping all the new Castlevania games on the portable systems. We get Harmony of Despair, some online experiment instead of a true Castlevania game. So no, I don't feel disrespected one bit as a Castlevania fan.

    As for your Bloodrayne 3, was the series popular enough for a third installment? Did it sell well enough? Seems more like a cult hit

  • @Daemonocracy both games are a cult hit and both are far better than this piece of shit, imo of course.

  • @MASREDO They might be better but cult hits are hard to get sequels to. Even critically acclaimed games like Okami and Beyond Good and Evil have yet to be revisited.

  • I miss the old bloodrayne games..

  • What's the negative stigma BloodRayne carries??

  • @danlyomil I think it has something to do with the Uwe Boll films, but that's just me.

  • wait i came for boobies what happend???

  • Mhm... The original Bloodrayne is still my all time favourite game...

  • like Castlevania and strider together

  • Wow...a game that's 2D and challenging got a good review and score?

    The CoD circle-jerk that usually does game reviews must have taken a day off or something. I could get used to more reviews like this.

  • Im still waiting for BloodRanyne 3 dammit! how can u end the second bloodrayne the way u did and NOT make a 3??? come on man jeeze! still, this game does look kinda cool. not what i expected....but cool....

  • I think most of the people complaining either haven't played it or are 12-year-old kids who can't handle difficulty.

  • I'm not fan of the bloodrayne series. But i played the demo and it's a great game and it's hard to. I love hard ass games like these that where on the 8-bit & 16-bit. I knew this game feel's like castlevania. I nicknamed this game as CastleRayne or BloodVania. Screw you guy's who hates hard ass games like these.

  • What's with all the complaining...its an arcade game I think it looks like a good hack and slash type of game.

  • dang what happened to the old Rayne with voice acting and juggly bits?

  • Like if you clicked this because of the picture

  • 9.0!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!

  • This is the worst Bloodrayne game ever!

  • Comment removed

  • BULLSHIT REVIEW THE GAME SUCKED ASS!

  • IT SUCKS! 

  • lol i just clicked cause hawt boobies on thumbnail :D

    

  • @UltimateFacePalm same LOL

  • @UltimateFacePalm Not sure what's more pathetic. That you're that hard up for tits on the internet, or that over 40 other losers, found a way to celebrate that fact together, with a single mouse click.

  • @UltimateFacePalm

    why are u guys so intrested in lumps ?

    put fucking water balloons on your chrest with a bra

    its nort that fucking appeling u fucking perverted cunt

  • @UltimateFacePalm same here

  • love rayne... love bloodrayne... love the story behind it... love the hidden messages... but hate this new one...

  • I love how game informer gave this game a SEVEN for being too hard but you KNOW they'll be giving Dark Souls at least a fucking nine and cite the difficulty as a pos.

  • @IneedAbttrscreenname They gave Dark Souls a 8.75 but idk I didn't play that yet... I played Demon's Souls and loved every bit of it I also played the Demo of BR:B and it was awesome.

  • blood rayne 2 was Awesome and this Betrayal game is cool too

  • wow the best question"have you ever respawned" XD this ad is awsome

  • Yup, i'm from the 2D side scrolling days, and i'll tell you kiddies, if you think Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden are difficult, you ain't seen nothing yet, 2D is less forgiving, so i'm getting this XD

  • @4everSolidSnake Err hmm....Ninja Gaiden IS difficult. You forget the first game is a side scroller. ;)

  • @IneedAbttrscreenname oh yeah huh? lol :)

    but I mean that in Ninja Gaiden and Devil May cry, you can always save up a bunch of health items, power ups etc., where as in say the 2D days of Ninja Gaiden or this bloodrayne, it looks less forgiving :o

    which makes it kick ass! haha

  • Ign sucks

  • @theguitardude83 Elaborate.

  • @xpoondiggy stop thumb blocking

  • stupid game...played it its no fun

  • thumbs up if you actually clicked on this video becuz of the thumb nail pic on the video with Rain topless like i did

  • @vertigoboy75i stop thumb begging

  • great soundtrack for the game. great animation. wouldve got a 9/10 from except for its way to difficult for a $20 game. 1/10 from me because of everything past lvl 13. so fail, im very dissapointed. i wish i could get my money back. -.-

  • @63B1stmaint  you mean $15?

  • @hinata2sexy5 no digital download with tax was almost $20 i just bought it 2 days ago. -.-

  • @63B1stmaint oh you must live in another country. that explains it.

  • @hinata2sexy5 states

  • @63B1stmaint damn the game must cost different amounts in different states then since i paid 14.99 for my copy

  • @hinata2sexy5 bought points n dl it. nothing different

    

  • @63B1stmaint perhaps getting it from Xbox live is different then getting it from PSN

  • @hinata2sexy5 lol i would put money on that xD

  • @63B1stmaint what a whiny punk, your really going to bitch about a game being to hard?

  • finally some more 2d games- 3d in my opinion is moving the gaming industry the casual way. looking at shooters- they have hardly any differences. 2d is more challenging too.

  • Forgettable music? I loved it! Its very horror-rock style you find in cheesy horror flicks.

  • Why are 90% of game reviewers too stupid to differentiate between graphics and aesthetics.

  • has it got trophies?

  • @insertnamehere001 It has plenty of trophies but they're difficult to acquire. Not as difficult as Crescent Pale Mist but challenging nonetheless.

  • I masturbated to the thumbnail.

  • why does ign care so much about graphics, its gameplay over graphics, thats way im a nintendo fan, unbeatable gameplay

  • @melikem14mod0 Still clinging to Nintendo eh? Have fun with that. 'Scuse me I have some Gears of War, God of War and Dragon Age to get to.

  • @DaVeO52 ya but i also have an alienware m11x r3

  • AND it's rated teen. BloodRayne 1 & 2 are Rated Mature. they definitely down graded the game. sucks

  • why the HELL is it in 2D? i mean the Game looks fucking amazing but we are near 2012 , 3D is what it's all about. i loved BloodRayne 2 because the graphics were so amazing plus i love vampire games. Couldn't they just leave it as a 3D game.

  • @yannickTheGreat how about you STFU

  • @insertnamehere001 how about you mind your fucking buisness cause i dont recall sending this Msg to YOU.

  • @yannickTheGreat you sent it to everyone and last I checked I am part of that

  • @insertnamehere001 listen who ever you are , go away

  • @yannickTheGreat Because 3D is overfucking rated. There's still plenty of space for side scrollers and games like This, Megaman, Super Mario, Donkey Kong Country, ect PROVE IT. You want a 3d game. Feel free to send the devs the tens of millions of dollars to develope a decent 3d game and weather the 3+ year waiting period it'll take to develope it. Either that or DOWNLOAD THIS GAME and show publishers bloodrayne is still profitable and worth putting money into. Dumbass. -___-

  • @IneedAbttrscreenname check out rayman origins if you love 2d games, it's looks perfect :D

  • One of the few legit reviews in IGN.

    

  • wow...IGN made a legit review lol. this game defintely deserves more praise. we need more games like this one.

  • Music is forgettable? Did you unlock the 8-bit soundtrack mode?! That shit is amazing.

  • dude this game is rated teen... wtf was esrb smoking pot during this

  • @mikester3600 HAHAHA!

  • When I see this, I hope for BloodRayne 3 on PS3/360

  • I haven't really played any BloodRayne games...but this is the game I want to start with :D

  • I hate old school 2D platforming. Give me Bloodrayne 3.

  • who clicked on this video cause you saw titties

  • When i heard the game was hard i thought it was just going to be annoying like ninja gaiden 2 but it's actually fairly easy, just some bits take a bit of practice. Really enjoyed the game tho, felt alot like the old castlevanias in a way, just a shame that it was a bit short for the 1200MS points they sold it for. Oh and the music is actually really good, it even has an 8 bit music mode which feels so old skool it's awesome

  • god i miss these type of games i'm sick of first person shooters.

  • Reminds me of Shank.

  • Great video pic...

  • Juggy mode?

  • Colin Moriarrty? Fallout 3?

  • FUCK THE COMMERCIALS!!!

  • music forgettable? what are you talking about dude

  • getting S ranks on all levels was not easy. but i did the impossible lol

  • I can guarantee that there will be a 3rd Bloodrayne game here soon because the Tomb Raider series did this same thing with a downloadable release before announcing the reboot :) i hope so, bloodrayne was one of my favorite games

  • I jsut played the demo. And i have to agree with gamespot. The controlers are put in the back seat just to give way to neat looking visuals. Definatly wont get the whole game. 

  • I really don't understand how anyone can like this bloodrayne better than the first two. I mean in the first two you got to harpoon people and throw them into fans and fire pits, and there were combos where you could cut them in half and see their spine. Who wants to do that in 2D?!

  • @MsSamStamper

    People that enjoy games that go back to the old school roots that's who.

  • So it's a shout out to Castlevania? Okay, thought it seemed familiar. The difficulty will turn some off, but that's what made beating old school 2D platformers more satisying to beat.

  • THe only back story you need to know to play this game and not be "lost" in background story is

    She is a good vampire

    She works for the govt.

    Nothing ealse seemed to connect to older games to me

  • What were they thinking??? She controls like shit sliding on waxpaper. Her controls are some of the worst I have ever played. Most of your deaths come from her sliding all over the place. She can't can't walk slowly. Thats fucked up if wayforward did this on purpose. They could of made her control well, while still having challenging levels. If she controlled more like the guy from outland it would of been more playable. But im tired of dying becasue this bitch can't control right

  • @fccwatch have you played blood rayne on pc?

    why don't they put those games on xbox360 instead of just this right?

  • What the fuck were they thinking!!! If your trying to reintroduce a franchise, make the charater controlable. Her movements are some the worse I have seen in a game. She can't walk slowly to an edge, she has to run. Then when she stops running she does this little slide. Who slides on bones, concrete, granite, etc. Why couldn't they of made it outland? Stupid fucks, its like they did this on purpose so people wouldnt get the game. I can't recommend it, if you can't control it

  • this game looks crap

  • @residentevil808 your english reads like it too

  • @Zagardal why my english is fine u ass

  • @residentevil808 ok kid :D

  • hmm this is by majesco amazon says. btw is this also on xbox 360?

  • BloodRayne betrayal is unapologetic about its difficulty, and you know what? That's what I LIKE! When I heard that the combat was insanely difficult because of the amount of enemies thrown at you, I knew it was a must buy. I am tired of being able to lean back and mash a button. While playing this I'm reminded of Devil May Cry and its original difficulty... what an awesome game that was.

  • -_- fuck reviews

    gamespot gave this a 5.5

    ign... gives... a 9.0

    wth do you guys now want that i think about this game

  • @MrFevero it's called mixed reviews

  • "There is no voice acting to be had in this game"

    "Its an homage to the old school castlevania games"

    ...what? Was there voice acting in the old castlevania games? Are the people who miss the old castlevania games going to CARE of theres voice acting? wtf...

  • @sonic4482 Most of the old 2d Castlevania's came out on cartridge 1st, and that particular media generally didn't feature a ton of voice acting audio because of the size limitations. This guy is obviously comparing this game to Symphony Of The Night with that statement, which I'm sure you've played.

  • So when did Bloodrayne get a bad rep? was it the movies.

  • This game is not for pansies!! Stop fucking around with that the other shit you know that shit sucks and get Bloodrayne Betrayal!

  • Its so fucking hard :o

  • GAMING NEEDS MORE SIDE-SCROLLERS! WE ARE SURROUNDED BY FPS!

  • @PSspecialist funny because fps's have just guns and your point is there pointing it at all the platformers

  • @PSspecialist limbo :D

  • @TheBahamaLlamas Ι am playing Limbo right now!

  • looks awesome .. kinna remind of Castlevania SONT !!

  • this game is really great, but goddamn it is hard as shit. i am stuck on chapter 11 boss

  • The only negative stigma with BloodRayne is the awful films that Uwe Boll made "based" on it. Any gamer who had a chance to ever play the games themselves would realise that's not a horrible series, just unfortunate to carry that load of crap that Uwe Boll squat out this anus.

  • I got the game........... PURE GOWDDDDDD LIKE!!! Mutch bettet buy then S3 online.

  • Finally a new fucking Bloodrayne!:)
