Why does everyone hate this game?
Ok really I'm sick of everyone acting like this is the worse game. Hey it plays.... there's barely any glitches... no crash bug.... no frame drop....controls are fine except for the clunky cover mechanics. Critics are just stupid as hell. I bet most of you guys haven't even played this game and just saying it sucks cause critics say it's bad. Well critics aren't playing this game right. It's all about stealth and ambush. You can stealth the whole way or you can find the vampire host (Aka Vampire Queen) and kill it and it kills a whole bunch of vamipres. There's also a mission where you have a shotgun and you blast your way through vampires real quick. Boss fights are pretty cool if you can find there weakness. (Which are other reasons why most critics are stupid cause they don't focus on how the game works.) The only bad thing is the cover mechanic when you cover and shoot he don't go back against the way you have to move him back and hit the cover button. But it's not a big deal. The point is play the game the RIGHT way before saying it sucks. People thing this is some MGS4 where you can just shoot through stuff. NO you use tactics to the kill Vampire Host or sneak past them. The game ain't a great game but it's playable and it's FUN if played RIGHT. So give the game a chance before saying it's the worst. The game ain't no 8/10 but it's definitly not a 2/10 like most critics say. The least I can say is a 5/10  and the highest I can think is a 7/10. If you have it for the PS3 it's a little better too.(and easier). Actually the game ain't hard if you know how to play this game. Sure quite abit of trial and error but the trial  and error ain't near as bad as Mirror's Edge.

If you want to know a bad game play Damnation, Zombie Wranglers, Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust, or Stormrise. Also yes I played these games. There worse than this game.

The reviewers said it best:

"In the end, the game suffers from the biggest sin you could think of: It’s just not fun to play" - Kombo

"Vampire Rain is a game that might have had a lot of promise in the hands of a developer that was either able to take some time to actually develop it, or gave a damn about making an enjoyable game" - Gaming Age

"Attempting to combine survival horror with stealth-action gameplay straight from the bargain bin, Vampire Rain frustrates constantly, and often times you'll be glad you die, because it affords you a chance to turn your console off" - GamerNode

"Bad to the bone - and not even in a funny way - this is a good idea, obliterated." - Xbox World

"An abomination of a videogame that doesn't even deserve a rental. Stay far away from this one--though if you get close, the enemies probably won't even see you." - IGN

"Even a game with a bad story can be salvageable if the gameplay is fun. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case." - Gaming Trend

38 on metacritic, what more can I say?

But if you enjoyed it, then I'm happy for you, it's fun to have fun.

The game looks worse then games released on the first Xbox (Chaos Theory, for example), isn't fun, has a real lack of interesting story, and (above all) is unbalanced as hell. Seriously, the vampires start off super strong and unbeatable - then they give you new weapons and they're super simple to defeat so they then just throw out another 40 levels of garbage that is more time consuming then fun.

I liked this game, played the demo and it was fun! got through it all real easy, never killed any vampires tho, but when i do get it im prolly going to go stealth like all the way through it. Its real simple to play, and if no one can manage it than damn....

It's not that people can't manage it. The A.I. is horrible and the game is unbalanced. It is impossible to kill a Vampire in the begining of the game but it's absurdly easy by the halfway point to the end. That's horrible dynamics.

Re: Why does everyone hate this game?
Me and my friend love this games online play but the dam light bomb...... The main story is really boring and the vampires are crazy hard I mean if one spots you you are dead in 2 hits but they hit you so fast. So ya the game does suck on some points but its not the worst game on 360. And Mirror's Edge was near perfect but story mode was to short.
Gore and more gore that is the answer
