.co.uk Review ------------- It'll be something of a for the majority of people to find out that Vampire Night is not in fact a simulation of a night out at a Goth club. You can pretend it's exactly that if you like, as you blow away hordes of the style-challenged undead, but that's not really what the game's about. It's a game in the vein (pardon the pun) of Virtua Cop and Time Crisis. Which means you point your light , or cursor if you've only got a joypad, at the screen and shoot bad guys. And that's pretty much it. Considering it's a rare joint-venture between Namco and Sega it's shocking how little imagination has gone into Vampire Night. The only new idea here is bars for all the baddies, and, really, that's not much of an innovation. There's a cryptful of extra game modes and secrets but that's unlikely to be much of a comfort when you complete the main game within just a few hours of opening the box. Vampire Night isn't awful by any means but it is terribly derivative; Time Crisis 2 ( /exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=video-games-uk&field-keywords=time%20crisis%202/${0} ) is a much better bet if you fancy a bit of -game action. However, if you've already finished that game several times over and hanker for more gore, Vampire Night will doubtless fulfil all your cravings. --David Jenkins Manufacturer's Description -------------------------- Taking you deep into the heart of vampire country, Vampire Night is the latest light shooter to be released by Namco for PlayStation 2. Developed by the team behind Sega's House of the Dead series, it has all the frantic thrills and chills of the arcade version, but with improved graphics and a host of new features. With 2-player modes and a host of additional sub-games in the practice mode, it's perfect for players who want a quick blast of arcade gameplay, but also offers a long-term challenge in the single-player Story mode. Plenty of fast-moving, fright-filled action for your light !
