BloodRayne 2, developed by Terminal Reality, is a horror-themed third-person action video game. It does not follow on directly from where BloodRayne finished; instead, it takes place 60 and 70 years later[1], in a contemporary (2000s) setting. This game could possibly be set in 2004, the year the game was released.

Story

In the FMV, Rayne is first seen staring at a place on fire. The next scene happens before the fire. Rayne is seen entering a library (called Blood library), with a few Nazis inside. Knowing Kagan is here (who is an influential Nazi collaborator) [2], she declares she is here to kill him. Kagan notices she is here, but is not moved by her presence. He knows it is his offspring (but does not know her name), but says she smells "tainted", asking who was her mother. He does not know her mothers name, saying he is "terrible with names", but does not care, knowing she died with her family. He appears pre-occupied, looking for something. He finds what he was looking for, called the "Vesper Shard". Knowing Rayne still wants to kill him, he then brings Professor Trumain up from the floor, severely beaten, showing his own small intestine around his neck. Kagan knows that they know each other, and that Trumain "stole" yet another offspring from him. During his talk, he speculates that the Brimstone Society knew the Vesper Shard's powers, and was eventually going to kill their Vampire allies such as Rayne. Trumain then pulls out a detonator, first giving time for Rayne to run, then detonates the grenade. Screenshot of an FMV from Final Fantasy VIII using Bink Video. ... Nazism in history Nazi ideology Nazism and race Outside Germany Related subjects Lists Politics Portal         Nazism or National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus), refers primarily to the ideology and practices of the Nazi Party (National Socialist German Workers Party, German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP) under Adolf Hitler. ...


Denied the pleasure of killing him herself, Rayne spent the last 60 years after the War seeking out and destroying Kagan's offspring [2]. These offspring, Rayne's half-siblings, have banded together to form a group called the Cult of Kagan [2]. The Cult has created "The Shroud", a substance that can render sun rays harmless to vampires, allowing them to surface at all times of the day, and twists nature into a nightmarish perversion [2] (Trees dying almost instantly, grass catching on fire, corpses twitching). Using "The Shroud", the Cult has pledged to create a new era of vampiric supremacy, continuing Kagan's legacy.

Bloodrayne 2 promises to correct these issues with new action-packed acrobatic moves which incorporate the use of various poles and rails to guarantee fast and furious gun and blade precision.
The biggest upgrade for this installment in the Bloodrayne series is the new experience system which gives you the ability to upgrade weapons and abilities based on how you play the game, for example, creative killing is largely rewarded with bonuses.
Fortunately Bloodrayne 2 looks like it will make up for the few shortcomings of the original with an entirely revamped engine as well as an intriguing story line that has me truly waiting with anticipation for its release sometime this year (probably in time for the launch of the BloodRayne movie).
