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.

Ok, we adventure fans have been hearing about this game for 3-4 years now and the hype had gone to the sky and back. Now that its finally here,i've played it,finished it and think it's just a sup-par adventure with great art thrown here and there from tiller.
Nowhere near classic games such as monkey island 1,2,3 or even 4!!
Flaws: Many:
1)) Too small, its just an 1/3 of a big nice adventure, that's maybe cause it will be a trilogy...
2) Too much not funny dialog that makes it boring, the characker froderick is exactly the same as max in the sam 'n max games, talking so much that you wish he would shut up a bit (the same flaw that the episodic sam'n max had).
3)Animated scenes have too many glitches, and all 3d art is plain ugly and dated
4)Too sweet, cutesy and girlie for its dark theme... I beleived in something with a bit more atmoshere and not pinky purple everywhere..it feels as a dark vampyric episode of my little pony!!
5)About 90% of the places have been shown in various screenshots, subtracting from the mystery of what the new loacations will look like..
6)Froderick shut up!

The good aspects of the game include:
1)Very nice 2-d artwork in the vein of classic adventures
2)Some nice riddles but not really on top as those in monkey island or dott etc
3)Some few funny moments
4)Snowing
5)Its an adventure trying to, but unfortunately failing, give homage to the legends

Anyway i know it is a difficult effort in this day and age to produce a really good adventure game, but this doesn't make it better it feels a bit amateurish all along.

They should have released it as a whole story polishing all the bits and cutting lots and lots of extra unecessary dialog that tries to be funny but fails blatanly.
3 Stars cause im an adventure fan and i believe.
Btw if you like adventures and have spare money,buy it.

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!!

 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.
