First off - this game is fully english, though it is not region free.
The game plays like a mix of Splinter Cell (old-gen version) with sprinkling of MGS on top ... all the animation looks ripped straight from SC, not necessarily a bad thing.
Game is solely linear - looks wide open, but you can't exceed 'the mission boundaries', lots of hand holding to guide you about and looks to be a total lack of freedom in how you get past certain things (you either do it the way the game wants or you don't do it at all).
Game is dependant on stealth, if you are seen the chances are you will die - the vampires move too quickly and kill with one hit (which brings up a nice resi evil style game over screen). Managed to kill one vampire upto now - sprayed the ****er with my m16 ripoff and it disappeared into a puddle of gunk.....
which brings me to my next point - the puddles. The game (as you may have guessed from the title) is set outside in the rain. According to the blurb, vampires aren't as powerful in the rain so thats why the action take place then. Means lots of shiny puddles which look good, visibility cut cos of the rain (nice cheating way around it) and all the characters looking shiny cos they are pissed wet through (again another nice cheating way around it) - some of the cut scenes using the ingame engine look very good with water trails flowing down characters clothing etc.
all the levels upto now that i have played have been very short - get from point A to point B without getting noticed. You can tell when someone has eyes on you (the screen vibrates and some eyes appear
) so you can hide accordingly, hiding seems more like just moving out of the way rather than relying on shadows etc, for example i dodged one vampire just by going the other way around a parked car - very basic at this early point in the game.
