I may be very harsh on this one, so please forgive me. I see the game's basis for content as rather fantastic, a title such as Van Helsing has as much promise as any LOTR game. But, sadly, the developers Sierra have chosn to take a different route, and develop an extremely poor Devil May Cry rip-off. Tut-tut.
The graphics are, dire - to the extent that even the cut-scenes look like the characters are wearing solid wigs lower than PSone quality. You have no control over the camera, and the level design is so poor that you can often be stumbling around looking for an exit.
