First-person roleplaying game, based on White Wolf's popular Vampire: The Masquerade pen-and-paper RPG. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines combines intense first-person action with an open, non-linear world, rich character development and an immersive storyline. The game plunges players into the dark and gritty vampire underworld of modern day L.A. as a creature of the night, interacting with and battling mortals and other creatures of darkness with an incredible array of vampire powers, skills and traits. Developed by Troika, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines runs on Valve Source Technology - the same game engine technology that powers Half-Life 2.

An amazing game that I will never be able to get enough of. It was ahead of its time and I have yet to see a game that is comparable to it. It has a story line you care about, so the adventure gamer in me is pleased. Enough scares and very good atmospheric horror (haunted mansion) to satisfy any horror player. You can also select from disciplines and characters, so there is the RPG element. It's such a truly beautiful game and with the other fans who agree with me, there are now countless mods, skins, etc. to make it new again but even without that I love this game and always will.
I absolute love it since first time I discover it. At list one per year I play it.... nostalgia.
A absolutely amazing game minus the clunk combat, all the dialogue is voiced and with an amazing story and multiple endings, it has a lot of replayability
Bloodlines is in my top 10 all time played list. Its a blast to play, and is being updated 10 years after release. The unofficial patch, which is up to 9.1 is essential.
The music is amazing. Its all so well done and well timed from the start to the credits.
The story is great and has a much different feel when you replay as another clan. Acting is top notch. Ending is great!!! (Please current game makers-please watch this ending before you make yours)
The mechanics are fun and rewarding, as is the leveling system. Again, this game has great re-playability with the game playing very different depending on build choices.
This game sells for $5 bucks on Steam all the time. Try it and you won't be disappointed.

Maioria dos Brasileiros amantes de RPG falaram e falam desse jogo quando precisa fazer comparações.
o jogo realmente muitos bugs, mas baixando o patch certo tudo fica OK'
Just started playing this game recently and I can easily say that it's moved itself up into the top spot in my favorite games of all time list.
Played the game for the first time 10 years after release and was not disappointed.
Great game that shines even without the aid of nostalgia.
A flawed but beautiful gem.
This is a severely underrated game in my opinion and should be better known, as it is one of the best vampire rpgs I know of. The visual and sound quality of the game is sub-par but those are some of the only things holding it back. It has a well thought out story and properly developed characters. The music fits the set tone very well. The game also offers a large amount of choice in the characters actions,from being able to play as multiple clans such as Malkavians or the Noseferatu, or deciding whether to sneak through or attack every enemy in site. Every action has a consequence though, good or bad, and that's what makes this game interesting. Things as simple as drinking enough of someones blood leading to their death can cause you to lose a potential blood source and violate the Masquerade. As I mentioned earlier though, this games plentiful issues primary revolve around its poor model and texture quality, as well as its awkward animations. Its sound file are also not exactly high quality. These do indeed detract from the immersion, make no mistake, but the game is still very fun regardless of them. There is also a small mod community that works to rectify these issues. Overall this is quite a fun game though and this is a must for people that enjoy rpgs and are interested by vampires and the legends surrounding them.
Bloodlines may be the best vampire rpg ever. I love Bloodlines as my personal favourite, since there's lot dark themes in the game.
