Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
It'll be something of a relief for the majority of people to find out that Vampire Night is not in fact a simulation of a night out at a Goth club. You can pretend it's exactly that if you like, as you blow away hordes of the style-challenged undead, but that's not really what the game's about. It's a gun game in the vein (pardon the pun) of Virtua Cop and Time Crisis. Which means you point your light gun, or cursor if you've only got a joypad, at the screen and shoot bad guys. And that's pretty much it.

Considering it's a rare joint-venture between Namco and Sega it's shocking how little imagination has gone into Vampire Night. The only new idea here is health bars for all the baddies, and, really, that's not much of an innovation. There's a cryptful of extra game modes and secrets but that's unlikely to be much of a comfort when you complete the main game within just a few hours of opening the box.

Vampire Night isn't awful by any means but it is terribly derivative; Time Crisis 2 is a much better bet if you fancy a bit of gun-game action. However, if you've already finished that game several times over and hanker for more gore, Vampire Night will doubtless fulfil all your cravings. --David Jenkins

Manufacturer's Description
Taking you deep into the heart of vampire country, Vampire Night is the latest lightgun shooter to be released by Namco for PlayStation 2. Developed by the team behind Sega's House of the Dead series, it has all the frantic thrills and chills of the arcade version, but with improved graphics and a host of new features. With 2-player modes and a host of additional sub-games in the practice mode, it's perfect for players who want a quick blast of arcade gameplay, but also offers a long-term challenge in the single-player Story mode. Plenty of fast-moving, fright-filled action for your light gun!

3.0 out of 5 stars re-vamped?, 27 Jun 2002
Having played the arcade original, which was chewing its way through hard earned money at an alarming rate, I decided to give this conversion a go.

Paired with a G-con 45 gun, this game supplies instant addictive gameplay; one of those games you can pick up and have a blast when you want to fill a few minutes of spare time.

Following a very impressive trainging section I was disapointed to discover that the game lacks any depth (I finished the arcade mode on my first attempt!). This is a common problem with arcade conversions. Once you have completed the game, the 'adventure' mode only offers minimal variation on the arcade game and there is a distinct lack of weaponry upgrades.

I would only recommend Vampire nights to anyone looking for a light gun game to play for a few minutes here and there. Not for serious gamers looking for a challenge.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent apart from it's too short, 23 Sep 2002
By A Customer
...this game might be worth shelling out for. The only real problem is that it won't last you long at all. It's far too easy and the 6 levels are a breeze. Which is a shame, because graphically, sonically and playability wise this game gets top marks. It succeeds in attempting to re-enact the game as an arcade (even down to the flashing text of "Credits left: 1" and "Player 2 Press Start"). With any luck the sequel (surely! this game sold healthily) will be a lot more challenging.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lasts only one (Vampire) Night, 25 Jul 2002
By Mr Hibbz "himble" (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing game. With great visuals, soundtrack, gameplay and some original ideas for a shooter all make this an excellent purchase. The main problem with Vampire Night is the fact that the game is far too short, you will complete it in one night, as the title suggests. Why can't games developers make a shooter which lasts a little longer? If you adore shooters, buy this game. If you only like shooters you may wish to wait for the price to drop.

All in all Vampire Night is a great "little" game.
