PSI: Vampire Rain: Altered Species Review

PSI writes: " While a visually attractive game, Vampire Rain: Altered Species seems to place its greatest focus on the rain. Sure, it's in the title and so it is obviously an important factor, but it seems as though the whole game is a showcase for the rain - how it looks, how the environments react to it, how the pitter-patter of rain sounds on the pavement. What's there looks good, for the most part. The rain-slicked roads reflect the street lights beautifully and the blood-covered walls and floors that you encounter are appropriately eerie. I'll tell you what else is eerie, but not in a good way. Sometimes members of the Nightwalker Elimination Team (which I'll discuss further in Gameplay) appear to have no pupils. Just white orbs staring back at you - creepy! Further, the shaved skull of Captain Hank Harrison is too prickly in appearance. It may sound like a little thing, but you see his skull enough to where it becomes bothersome. Finally, and worst of all, when a Nightwalker "changes" from a regular looking person to a blood-lusting beast, they do this ridiculous shaking dance. Let me just say that it is really lame."
