Amazon.com Review
Want to live forever? Get a taste for what it’s like with Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption, the first computer role-playing game based on the tremendously popular dice-and-paper and live-action RPG from White Wolf Game Studio. Die-hard fans will grumble a bit at some of the translation concessions from book to hard drive. The vampiric disciplines in particular are less flexible and occasionally more hassle than they’re worth–sure, you can turn into a wolf, but… More >>

This first person style game is fun, and does have limited interactive ability (they took the servers down, so youd have to figure out how to lan it if thats possible). Its good if you have no idea of how the original RPG functions, the inconsistencies are a bit annoying, but I found them not insurmountable. Overall I would reccomend this game as old but still fun for the single player, the final chapters are pretty challenging.
Rating: 4 / 5
Fun low tech game. your basic early D&D type of game. Worth a bargain type of price but not a $40 game.

When I got Vampire:The Masquerade I didn’t know a single thing about the entire premise of this title. I know there’s books, a pnp rpg and so forth, but I’ve not come into contact with any of that. But none of that matters because this game is still a lot of fun for a newcomer. This is one of the few titles that kept my attention and full interest up until the very end. I’ve even played it more than just one time. It is the first game that introduces the DM system in the multiplayer-side.
The game does get annoying at times. For example you have to be careful that your party members don’t run amok and get themselves killed or start casting spells in a wasteful manner.
All in all, I’d recommend this title to anyone that likes roleplaying games.

i thought this game was a lot of fun to play. it wasn’t an accurate representation of the Storyteller rules system, but that wasn’t what i was after. it is an enjoyable game with an interesting storyline. if you are looking for a game where you’ll have to concentrate hard or solve obnoxious puzzles, look elsewhere. if you want about forty hours of fun gaming, then buy this game.
