The world of Vampire the Masquerade is fangtastic, bloody amazing and humorously batty. After the great success with Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption, Activision You start your journey by plunging into the world of darkness after a dark kiss. Having woken up that morning as a mortal, and gotten 'lucky' enough to have gone to bed that night with someone who turns out to be a real pain in the neck, you start the night as a kindred, a vampire. The world of darkness throws you right into the fangs of the politics of vampire society right after you have been newly sired. It is a lot to take in, but as your initial mentor, Jack, informs you of what you are and teaches you what 'The Masquerade' is, you start to get the hang of it. Jack also tells you about the big players in town.. About the Camarilla and the Sabbat - the two main vampire factions in the game. Taking roleplay to new heights with making the different clans have some specific powers and benefits that can have some story impacts. The music brings a great atmosphere to the game and the Source Engine displays some nice graphics for its time. There are even more factions and clans to encounter in this dark, gritty and exciting world that Troika Games splendidly paints up. We can't talk about VtM:B without adressing its claws.. I mean flaws, Troika Games have always made fun games, sadly, not the most stable ones.
