Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is on of best games in history. It have good story, gameplay is good, humor in game is very black and very hilarous.

Fantastic game, but these sellers are insane. Why would I pay $50 and up for a game that's been out since 2004 and can be found on Ebay?

When this game came out, I opted to follow the other major release of the day, Half-Life 2. I figured I'd come back to this game at a later time, and that time is now. Good thing, too, since all the bugs have been polished by a devoted fan following, you need to get the unofficial patches for this game to be able to savor it to its fullest. Search for them on the internet.

The game is great in atmosphere, the source engine of its day still provides a very nice offering of visual realism, nice colors, details, etc. The game itself provides an almost endless amount of role-playing choices, similar to the other great RPGs of the era.

Overall, I had a highly enjoyable experience playing this game.

Simple facts: this is a classic and great RPG game, this is worth buying and playing but DO get the latest official patch before playing and DO NOT use firearms.

Bugs aplenty in the retail version. Fair warning.

As far as the firearms go: I am all the way to hollywood and realized that the developers must have seriously hated gun use in this game and am about to restart the thing or quit because my cheap knife (skill lvl 2) does more damage to most things than my 300+ dollar handgun(skill level 6!!!) and forget about reloading while you fight with a shotgun...you better run forrest RUNNN....

Good game anyway. I am a nosferatu and some of the dialogue when ppl meet my guy is so funny I was laughing about it for a long time. Classic.

I don't ordinarily write a review like this but the price being charged for this game right now (May 2008) is absurd. Four months ago, it was $9.99 here at Amazon.

The game was a lot of fun and looked great for its time, and it offered better gameplay than many of the "whack-and-slash" melee games we've seen so many of over the years. And $34 would have been a fair price for it, say, 3 1/2 years ago.

But if you still want to buy this game, go to the bargain racks where software is sold and you can buy it easily for five bucks. It is certainly worth that, and, if Amazon still had it available for $9.99, it would be worth that, too, in new condition.
