Blade, I've got a few snipes for it., 6 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Just last week I purchased Blade. I have spent every day since then trying to track down a contact address for the company that developed the game. This is a bad......bad game. Right lets get started. The most serious flaws are the most fundamental and basic of any game. You can only run when you go forward. You often end up racing staright into an enemy. Blades movements are as smooth as a a cheese grater & the limits of his movement are not that of a comic book hero. More of an incontinent, blind, arthritic, wheezy & tired...gimp. The controls are sluggish. Actualy, thats a bit too fair. They SUCK. S.U.C.K. The control layout is poor. The combinational use of buttons would be laughable were it not so thoroughly annoying. It's frustraiting, panicky, fumbling and with some of the poorest camera angle selections I have seen in a game. Ever. The puzzles are weak & would pose a challenge only to the dumbest.. members of the simian gene pool. Mainly just collecting keys and finding letters written 10 feet high in blood on a wall. Ooooh, Tricky! You often end up facing in the opposite direction and not even knowing where you should be heading. The levels are huge & badly laid out. The baddies are dumb & not even remotly equiped with any A.I. There is only one thing the vampires in this game suck, and it isn't blood. In conclusion, I have never felt so cheated out of mymoney in my life and would like to see Hammerhead development go out of business for ruining a perfectly good idea with poor testing, foul planning and graphics that could have been drawn by Ray charles & Stevie Wonder. I truly am supprised that Activision could publish such a poor game. I have come to expect higher standards from them than this. Once again, this game SUCKS far worse than any vampire I could ever have the misfortune to encounter. Do not buy this game unless you wish to be extremely gutted. I know I am.
