"Perfectly infusing all the essentials of an exceptional video game -- non-stop action, sex appeal, weaponry, and elements of the supernatural -- BloodRayne has the potential to become one of gaming's premier franchises," said Ken Gold, Vice President of Marketing. "The release of Majesco's first original title is a major milestone in the growth of our publishing business and underscores our commitment to creating high-quality gaming experiences."
Set in the late1930s, BloodRayne introduces the sexy, supernatural Agent BloodRayne. An unholy union of human and vampire, Agent BloodRayne was raised and trained by a secret government agency to hunt down and eliminate supernatural threats. Now she must take on an occult faction of Nazis to prevent them from unleashing creatures of unfathomable terror in their quest for world domination.
Agent BloodRayne's lethal repertoire includes inhuman strength, spectacular leaping and acrobatic skills, aura vision, zoom vision and slow-motion perception that enables her to weave in and out of bullets. By feeding off the blood of other creatures, she is able to sustain her life force, however her undying thirst for blood compels her onward until she is driven into 'Blood Rage' where she achieves a new set of unstoppable fighting combos and deadly attacks.
Developed by Terminal Reality and driven by their new Infernal Engine, BloodRayne delivers fast-paced, battle-heavy action from a third-person perspective, coupled with unique cinematic horror elements. Ultimately, BloodRayne's lavish graphics, exotic 3D environments and chilling sound and camera effects immerse players in a terror-filled world.
Additional game play features include:
- Non-linear game play through more than 40 levels and 3 massive worlds: Louisiana, Argentina and Germany;
