Vampire: Bloodlines Review

ESCMag has posted a review of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, giving the game an overall score of 8/10 and saying this in their summary:
Aside from the combat issues and linear storyline, Bloodlines impressed me a great deal. I didn't know what to expect from the game, mainly because I had heard such disappointing things from those who played the first in the series. I was pleasantly surprised to see the game play out as well as it did, usually making me want to keep playing just to see what twist the story would take around the next bend. Troika managed to create some memorable characters, memorable environments, and a memorable game in an aging PC genre. It isn't going to light the fires of every gamer out there, but anyone who has ever enjoyed Fallout, Zelda or any other action RPG is sure to find something in Bloodlines to sink their teeth into.
