I played this game for the first time at the CEBIT 94 at Bullfrog's exibition booth, I believe. I played it using an early Cyberhelmet. I also stood on a carpet-style surfboard used to control the flying carpet. It was truly magic. Bullfrog, we miss you.
I bought and played this game after I finished the magnificent "Bloodlines". Redemption is, in many respects, less than Bloodlines. But let's not judge this game for what it is not but for what it is: It tells an epic and exciting tale packed with interesting historical information about the past of "Vampire t.m.". If you like good stories and if you like VTM then buy this game.
