Vampire: Bloodlines Review

Gaming Nexus has dished up a review of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, giving Activision and Troika's CRPG an overall score of 8.4/10. An excerpt:
Troika did an excellent job of rendering the city environments. The buildings are really well designed and add a lot of ambiance to the game. In one section of the game, you can look out onto the city and actually see traffic moving back and forth in the game. It's these kinds of details that add to the feel of the game.

Good visuals aren't much without good sound to go along with them and for the most part Bloodlines delivers the goods. Sounds are fairly well done and things sound like you would expect them. There are a couple of nice touches though. Get near a pack of yuppies in front of one of the clubs and you're likely to hear a cell phone go off (although it's a Masquerade violation to feed on the idiots who should have their phones on vibrate).
