Summary
Vampire Rain: Altered Species is an intense game of stealth, survival and all out skill that takes place during a cold, wet night in a suburban, west coast city in the US. For some time now, mankind has been battling the ferocious and terrifying Nightwalkers, a race of superhuman vampires who crave human blood. People have been disappearing at night; the lucky ones are found dead, but those less fortunate are reborn as Nightwalkers, and are bound by instinct to forcefully recruit unwitting victims into the Nightwalker army. Gamers take the role of John Lloyd, a member of a US special government unit created to defeat the Nightwalkers, and the only human to ever survive a physical encounter with them.

Gamers' Temple
While not the most ground breaking stealth title, Vampire Rain is worth a try for a stealth fan, even with its flaws.

Vampire Rain: Altered Species has a lot working against it. Substandard AI, deficient visuals, exasperating difficulty and a host of other problems that make you wonder how much effort and care was actually poured into the game.
Read Full Review >Worth Playing
A neat idea with some of the worst execution I've seen on the PlayStation 3. The title has an incoherent story, bad graphics, bad voice acting, bad level design, extremely linear gameplay for a stealth title, and a level of difficulty that seems more dumb than difficult.

A year after its disastrous debut on the Xbox 360, Vampire Rain is still a pain in the neck.

Altered Species is filled with all kinds of problems, from overpowered and brainless fiends to ill-conceived levels. Let's just hope these vampires stop haunting us.
Read Full Review >GameFocus
The whole thrill of stealth action is the ability to outsmart your opponent. So what does Vampire Rain do? It gives you singular, trial and error paths that has about as much variety as a prison meal.
Read Full Review >IGN
No matter which angle you decide to look at Vampire Rain: Altered Species from, the game is bad. The graphics scream PS2. Sounds such as the death groan and boss grunts are laughable. The story is boring. The acting is hammed up in the worst way. The HUD is hideous. The levels are linear. The majority of weapons are useless. The AI is retarded. The enemies are too powerful while the bosses are too weak.

Often people complain about the expensive cost of the videogames, but paying 70 € for a great title don't seem to be excessive for anybody. However Vampire Rain costs 60€, which is offensive if you look at its quality. If after reading this review you continue thinking that Altered Species deserves an opportunity don't complain that we didn´t advise you… A title not only to forget, but also to avoid.

I can't think of a reason why this game was made, and even less reason why it was ported. Avoid.
Read Full Review >GamingExcellence
Vampire Rain: Altered Species is truly a terrible game, offering horrendous gameplay, atrocious AI, and an overall unpleasant experience.
Read Full Review >GameDaily
The concept is solid on paper: a stealth action romp through the urban jungle as you battle hordes of undead night stalkers. There's also a variety of weapons and interesting features, like being able to see through the enemies' eyes. Unfortunately, none of these elements are fun or well executed.

It's like the developers didn't even play the games they were blatantly ripping off.

Will H. gave it a6:
I did finish the game. It was not amazing by any means, but overall I have way worse encounters. The biggest thing i took out of the expeirence was the rain dropping effects on the ground. As sad as that is.
