"As far as vampire slaying games are concerned, Buffy the Vampire Slayer still has the upper hand on Blade. Repetitive action, awful controls and so-so graphics keep the game from being a fun action game based on a really great movie and action hero." Review by Eduardo Zacarias with overall score [5.0] and screen shots. [Xbox]

"Blade II isn't all bad. It has its moments and fans of the character will be content, but not overjoyed with the title. Hardcore and casual gamers alike, however, will tire of it very quickly."
