Blood 2: The Blood Group

id give this an honest review if i could even play the game i get about 5 minutes in and now im stuck on not responding constantly compatability mode doesnt help and applying patches hasnt helped at all. maybe make sure the game actually works so your not asking for money for a broken product

Very fun game, that is a little flawed. The game sometimes crashes and the setting is nothing like the first game but it is a very fun game to play. Probably impossible to beat without cheats but hell is it ever fun to play.

This was a great shooter and a lot of fun. It would have done better, but got snuffed out in the shadow of Half Life. It had some bugs with the characters and they didn't seem to have different abilities as suggested, but it was still a really fun game. I actually enjoyed it more than half life as a shooter.

Blood II: The Chosen is an follow up to an classic game. Monolith changed so much between both Blood games. The story is Caleb an hundred years after defeating his master roams the world. An evil corporation called CabalCo descendants of Caleb's cult attempts to hunt Caleb down. You can play as all four chosen with each having their own lines and an particular weapon exclusive to them. But Blood II is an flawed game. They rushed the game out at an bad time nonetheless since some bugs are present. As of recent the developers haven't did much about it. Thankfully many fans made mods to help with that problem. Some of the worst AI I ever seen in any FPS game. I wish the game would give me an idea which weapons I can switch with. Several areas get reused so often that it makes the game boring. Thankfully not an problem in the original Blood. The best two things going for it that helps with your decision to buy the game or not. 1. Cheating makes most terrible bugs left in almost nonexistent 2. Nightmare Levels expansion is actually better than the actual game Yes you heard me the expansion is much better in many ways. You learn more about the chosen themselves. Each level except the last two, you get to revisit all of their pasts. Sadly because they did rush this game out. The other three chosens don't get their own cut scenes, levels and bosses. An wasted opportunity to increase interest or to help get you going again. Honestly I barely almost didn't buy it but because how much I love the original. I did so anyway.

I got hooked on FPS with Quake 2 but loved Blood 2's ambience and style. Fantastic. Game is a fun plinker, but I just like everything about the atmosphere, music, characters, etc... Live comic book. Finished the game several times. Glad GOG brought this back. It's a lost gem, but not for everyone. All in all, a flawed shooter that had the right 'feel' for me and at the time pretty cool gameplay. I totally understand haters, but for me the game is a gem. I just have a hard time getting this game to run on modern OSes. I've tried old CD's and emulation, then GOG had it! It ran, but a lot of the special effects were gimped. Hoping it's fixed. Half life and then Fallout took over in later years, but I love the lore and ambience this game has.
