Official fact sheet
Blade II for the PlayStation?2 computer entertainment system and Xbox? video game system from Microsoft is the only action/adventure combat-fest that allows players to be Blade, the half-vampire, half-human superhero who lives to rid the world of vampires. Armed with an arsenal of deadly weapons and over-the-top martial arts moves, players must stop the vampire underworld from farming humans for their souls.
- 360-Degree Combat System ? Players will use special hand-to-hand and weapon attacks to destroy hordes of vampires as they surround Blade in battle. This all-around feature allows the gamer to see what is coming up behind them, so that they can react and attack before it?s too late.
- Unleash Unholy Rage Powers ? As Blade, the player?s half-vampire abilities give them access to incredible rage powers, such as Shield, Sword and Strength, which make Blade virtually unstoppable.
Master Many Lethal Weapons ? Gamers will wield Blade?s signature titanium-based, silver-plated sword in vampire bloodbaths. An awesome array of high-tech weaponry is at the player?s fingertips, including guns, grenades, stakes, and the boomerang-like glaive-not to mention Blade?s black-belt martial arts moves.
- Gruesome, Over-the-Top Kills ? Players will obliterate enemy vampires with blood churning visual effects, such as severing body parts. Other attacks result in a vampire?s dramatic decay and disintegration before the player?s very eyes.
