Deep within the walls of a gloomy castle in the equally gloomy land of Draxsylvania, the young, gifted opera singer Mona De Lafitte is held captive by her tormentor, vampire Baron Shrowdy von Kiefer. Ever since she was transformed into a vampire by Shrowdy and whisked off to Draxsylvania, her greatest wish has been to return to Paris, continue her singing career, and one day become a star at the Paris Opera. When Shrowdy fails to return from a nightly foray, she at last sees an opportunity to flee. Together with her only friend and confidant, a cheeky bat named Froderick, she escapes from her prison and tries to find her way back to Paris.

The classic adventure A Vampyre Story is penned by Bill Tiller, who was involved in the creation of such milestones of the genre as "The Dig" and "The Curse of Monkey Island." Players use a point-and-click interface to direct Mona and Froderick through a richly detailed world consisting of more than 30 beautifully handpainted locations. A Vampyre Story utilises real-time 'Multiplane' camera technology that entices the viewer to examine and explore. On her puzzle-filled journey to Paris, Mona meets many 3D-characters, ranging from the just plain silly to the very strange, in over 20 hours of brain-teasing fun.

Loved this game. Had been waiting for it to come out for ages. The humour was fantastic, graphics great. The only downside is that I want to play the sequel now!!

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars great fun

In the time of the generic fps and boring un original racer its nice for a bit of old school gaming to come back into the stagelight, and a nice return it makes. Whilst a vampyre story doesnt have the greatest graphics around it certainly makes up for it by being geniunly entertaining, i nearly fell off my chair at some of the cleverly written humour. I just want a vampyre story 2 to hurry up and be released,

Go in give it a shot, you could spend far more or worse this xmas.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Wasted potential
