The game is great for the fans, but the save feature is bad, i have fun with the misions, now im stuck in the mision os scouting with a Cylon Rider for the past 6 months, is hard has hell keep track of flying with the others cylon riders and dont get discovered. Buts its fun.

5 Stars EXCELLENT FOR BATTLESTAR FANS
ITS A MUST FOR ALL BATTLESTAR GALACTICA FANS, IT RUNS ON XBOX 360 SMOOTHLY, ITS A MUST IF YOU LOVE THE OLD AND NEW SERIES, THE GAME ITS A LITTLE BIT HARD BUT AFTER A FEW HOURS YOULL GET THROUGH THE MISSIONS.

I DO RECOMMEND IT, FROM AMAZON??? BETTER!!!!

5 Stars I like the game it reminds me of the old tv. show in some ways
I would tell people if they liked the old and new show.Buy this game its fun and hard not easy but you will like.

5 Stars Heyyy!! Where’s the sequel ?? Is there a sequel out there??
This game was loads of fun. Some people said that it’s too hard, but, I didn’t find it hard at all. Actually it was kind of easy. I think car racing games are much more difficult (too much traffic to deal with on the ground), but flying games are easy (not much traffic to deal with in the air). However, in both driving and flying types games you have to do things at an incredibly high rate of speed. So, my advice is that when you play this game, just get used to thinking and doing things very quickly.

Oh yeah, one more thing, don’t forget to make sure that you fly that stupid Viper like you just stole it and the cops are after you.

1 Star battlestar galactica

4 Stars Actually a LOT better than the first, and I enjoyed the first
This game is great! I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed playing the first. Aside from the fact that the first got a little repetitive at times it was still fun. Well the second is even more fun and it felt a lot less repetitive, especially towards the end. Naturally we’ll expect to see some similarities to the first installment, but I think they’ve made some quality improvements this time around. The most noticeable is probably in the graphics department. Rayne is looking hotter than ever! The in game cinematic sequences are also extremely strong in this regard; I’d rather watch a movie of those than the crap Uwe Boll puts out.

If you thought Rayne was up against some precarious forces with Jurgen Wulf… well she’s up against even more dangerous enemies this time around! This game is a large scale production by comparison. There’s something very bad going on in the world and a lot of powerful vampire’s are uniting. They’re going to try and remake the world in their image and it’s up to Rayne to stop them! She’s lost contact with the Brimstone society and just has Severin to help guide her through all the dangers of this adventure. I don’t want to reveal anymore of the story, because it’s very well written. Don’t expect to see that Nazi element appearing from the first again, that’s not in here at all. I actually like this story a lot more over all. It’s much more cinematic and has some really good twists and turns.

One thing they changed that I didn’t like very much was her weapon system. No, not the blades, her guns. Don’t get me wrong… the Dragons are awesome weapon concepts and I love how you upgrade them overtime as you get more experience. However, one thing that was cool in the first game was that you could pick up new weapons and you could search the environment for more ammunition. The environment in this installment is even more interactive, but I feel like they’ve removed the element that makes me want to explore. There are no items for Rayne to pick up, so why should I explore every inch of the environment? Sure it’s really cool to break stuff, but after a few hours that gets a bit boring and you just feel like moving on because you’re not getting anything out of it. That’s really the only one small fault I have with the game.

As I mentioned before the graphic quality of the game is far superior to the original. I think they’ve even changed Rayne’s costume slightly because she looks a lot more alluring in this edition. Not to mention the enemies she’s fighting are a lot more varied. Sure in certain sequences you get similarly rendered enemies, but they change as you go through the levels. That didn’t happen as much with the first game. The overall script is a lot stronger as well. It felt like they took the time to sit down and write a more well thought out concept. Even the small quips Rayne says when she’s fighting people are a lot cooler and varied. Rayne also has a LOT more combos! This is by far the greatest added feature ever. It’s so much more than just hit “X” a bunch of times like in the first game. This one relies on special combinations which result in her executing a cool impressive maneuver! I loved this feature. Another fun aspect is that a lot of the puzzles are solved by throwing enemies into electrical units, woodchippers, etc. in order to solve a puzzle to go onto the next section. This was absolutely hilarious. Remember… the harpoon is usually what you have to use to throw an enemy into a whirling fan blade most efficiently. You’d think this would get redundant after the fifth puzzle… but for some reason it actually doesn’t. Throwing enemy bodies into fans in different ways is actually kind of fun to figure out. Though, I must admit that I had to put on God Mode from time to time while I sat around and figured out how to solve some of these puzzles. Such as when fighting final level bosses, there’s usually something special you have to do to beat them… you can’t just hack them to death like most other enemies.

If you enjoyed playing the first game then you’ll surely find this one even more fun. If you got tired of the assassination mission to just kill the same Nazi over and over, then you’ll be pleased to hear this game doesn’t have that same failing. I actually highly recommend this game; it’s a lot of fun. Some of the acrobatic scenarios are incredibly frustrating, but you feel like an idiot after you figure them out most of the time! You can expect to see the same amount of extreme violence purveyed throughout this game as in the first. This one is probably a lot more intense on that level, so if that’s your interest in playing this, you will not be disappointed. Whatever your reason for delving into the world of Bloodrayne, it’s a lot of fun once you’re there!

5 Stars School Girl cheat best ever!
BloodRayne 2 made a lot of improvements the first

The combat system is made for one-on-one an doesn’t work so well when lot of enemies are ganging up on you…and that happen a lot

School Girl cheat best ever!

I wanted more [...] cheats

4 Stars Lara Who?
This would be a five star game if there weren’t so many ‘throw this into that’ parts in this game; Those who have played it know what I mean, and those who haven’t should see for themselves…because everything else about this game is fantastic. It looks great on xBox, sounds great, and most importantly, controls very well. And while some levels are better than others, there are a lot of colorful enviornments to inflict your constant carnage. Rayne’s harpoon and special moves are all fun to use, and the cut scenes when you throw people to certain deaths is pretty cool; This is one of the few games where I actually bothered to learn all the combo moves/kills Rayne can perform; I am a big fan of the one where she hoists a victim onto her blade, spins him, and raises her other blade to cut the limbs off the victim as he spins around on her other blade(got that?). This game is fun and creative; And while I miss the Nazi setting in the first game, the Goth Villian thing works out pretty good. I can’t imagine what they’ll do with a part 3 on a next gen console, because this one still holds up pretty damn good on it’s own. Also, plug in the cheat code for ‘extra gore’(‘dodge this moist pimp’, I think)for some added fun!

5 Stars Blood Rayne 2,a game thats hard to let go of
man this is so twisted,the game is like BLOODY,not that i have never played those before but i think that this one is by far the one with the most blood and gore,not for anyone under say 12.The game game also has a problem controling its STRONG language factor,most of the time it really gets out hand.The graphics arent that good but they are passible,passible indeed.The weapons in the game are alot of fun to use,like slashing with Raynes duel blades the fatalitys are um….well if youve played the original im sure you will figuure it out soon enough,buying the game itself works too.I remember last night I traded in a freakin box of games on the XBOX,BR2 was in there when i got to gamestop i had flashbacks of how good the game was and that i had not even beat it yet oh and by the way,i beat it the next day,maybe 13 hours at the most,i never traded it in.The ending was really cool as well.I would love to get back to the weapons,so i will.The carpathian dragons are a great addition to a really promising series.The unlockebles are superb,like cowgirl rayne the costume,it really is amazing,and the coolest thing about this feature is that the blades and the carpathian dragons design change according to the current costume that Rayne is fitted with,SEXY!!getting to the end of this review i want to say that the boss battles are great and not only that but they can sometimes be unusualy difficlt,thats a good thing well in conclusion i would love to say that this is a highly recomended game from me.

5 Stars Great to relieve stress!!!
I have to admit…my husband got me hooked on this game. However, it is a lot of fun to pretend you’re slicing the skin off of assailants who would have nothing better to do than tear Ms. Rayne to bits!! This game is a lot of fun, especially if you’re into the whole horror, “goth” genre, and you enjoy her martial art-style moves ;) .
