They killed her! They killed Rayne!

Those of us who were big fans of BloodRayne have been waiting for a while for BloodRayne 2 to come out. It's release date is technically tomorrow, but some of us more, um, frothing fans have been lucky enough to score an early release of a demo CD containing the first level of the new game.

Unfortunately, I have to report that if this is even close to the final release, then I'm not at all happy with what's happened.

( Cut for length )

If the first level is any indication, Majesco has failed to capture the flame they released with BloodRayne, and instead with 2 we get a guttering little spark, nasty, vicious, and not nearly as much fun.

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

Although the video is work-safe, some of the advertisements surrounding it may not be: Even now, I don't find this funny.
