This game is ok. The graphics are ok. I got this game for my son and he didn’t really care for it. He is 7 years old and it didn’t meet his needs or wants. I lent the game to a friend and he said that it is a little hard for my son’s age. It says Teen on the cover, but I thought my son would like it. He didn’t. I’ll have to play it myself and see what I think.

Video games based on movie licenses are always a hit or miss. For every good game like “The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King,” and “Spiderman: The Movie,” there is the horrible “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” and the mediocre, “Enter the Matrix.” “Van Helsing” falls somewhere in between.The game borrows heavily from “Devil May Cry,” complete with cinematic camera angles and fighting combos and weapons you can purchase after a level. The graphics aren’t especially detailed with low and blurry textures. The XBOX version is sharper, but below standards for a system with that much graphical capability. A treat is using the voice and likeness of Hugh Jackman as well as the other actors from the movie. Gameplay is steady enough with one button used for projectile weapons such as Helsing’s twin guns and another for close combat which when timed right, unleashes a series of combos on an enemy. The L trigger is used to target the enemy you’re fighting. However, the targeting system tends to focus on enemies farther away rather than the ones that are closer which can be frustrating since you need to toggle over and over.My biggest gripe are the camera angles. Since it’s fixed, judging where you’re going can be very frustrating. For instance, you may be walking towards one part of a room when all of a sudden, the camera angle will shift to a new perspective. When this happened, I had to backtrack a few times just to make sure I was going in the right direction. For.

…that’s my reaction to the Van Helsing game. Many people have criticized it as having a bad camera, not enough acting out of the story (too many cutscenes and such), as well as being repetitive, but they’re all nitpicking. The first time I saw this game I was really looking forward to it. Well, I rented it and after a day or two, I hated it. I’d been playing games like Hitman, which require more strategy and “brain power”, so I thought this was stupid, mindless game. However, I didn’t realize one thing. This is NOT a “shooter”, though most of the weapons are guns. This is an ACTION game, entailing tons of exciting movement, such as jumping and fighting while watching the really cool villains do likewise. In short, you have to be in the right mood to play this, or not expect too much. You may be dissapointed if you think this is another Red Dead Revolver or something. I bought it and had a blast because I knew what kind of game I was playing. The gameplay has been called repetitive, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s really fun to just lay into your opponents’, though some of the weapon’ shooting (dual pistols) can become tiresome, despite its propensity for success. You basically have to use your tojos and/or twin scimitars to liven it up with some variety (I recommend tojos against most non-flying creatures and bosses, as it’s really fun to tear through your adversaries). There are a fair amount of other weapons, such as the crossbow, shotgun, elect.

After seeing the AWESOME film Van Helsing, I was more than desperate to get my hands on the game based on the film for my xbox. I must admit that I was very worried, as I have played many movie-based videogames, few with satisfying results (the last movie-based game I had played was Terminator 3 – Rise of the machines! You can see why I was worried!!!).However, my worries amounted to nothing. Van Helsing is a solid game on its own, but it is more fun to be taking up the role of Van Helsing. All his awesome weapons are there, and some new ones! The fact that you can lose your hat in a fight is a nice touch, and the original voices of Igor, Dracula and Van Helsing himself add much class. Visually, Van Helsing is nothing new. Its no Ninja Gaiden, but it does have some truly gothic locations, excellent weapon designs, and Van Helsing himself looks the part. I was a little disappointed in terms of sound (for me, this was the games weakest area). Sure, the voices are cool, but bar that, it was a let down. The film had some truly fantastic themes, while the game’s score was very dry and basic (I rarely paid attention to it). There were some nice sound effects, but small things like Mr Hyde lacking his hilarious accent, and the Tojo blades making no buzzing noise were disappointing. Gameplay wise, the controls are quite nice, with a good balance between guns and melee weapons. The grapple rope proved very useful and easily accessable. No faults in this area. Overall, Van Helsing mak.

I love this game even though the camera is non controllable and you end up missing some stuff or dying. But very great game.

Based on the original hollywood movie, Van Helsing is an action packed game with voices of movie’s cast. Instead of putting in cheat codes, you can cheats in the game by destroying secret doors, my favorite is the ghost body feature. As you go through the game, you battle tons of zomibes and monsters. You fight such monsters as Mr. Hyde, Wolfman, and, of course, Dracula. This game isn’t for the Monsterpohbic.Rating: 8.2 of 10Was this review helpful?

I went to see the Movie and had to get the game. Then the game came with a free pass and I went to see the movie again.They are both awesome.The only thing wrong with the game is it is too short by the standards of modern adventure games it took me 3 hours and 40 min to beat it the first time.When you beat it though you get to keep your player and beat it again.The best part is that it will not really spoil the movie. It sticks with the Dracula legend and adds a lot too it.I wondered for almost a year how they were going to tie all the monsters together and I think they did a spectacular Job.Play it for yourself and see.
