Too many words exist to describe this masterpiece game.  The original PlayStation had quite a few hit games in its time, but this would be one I would rate within the top 10 best games ever.  The sequels, not so much, but this game had it all:  the capturing storyline, the incredibly clear and believable character voices, great sound effects, but mostly the true darkness this game entails--hell on earth in mid-evil times, and you're a vampire with a cache of weapons and spells out to deal justice.  The view was interesting for it's time, 3-d from above, but it's amazingly easy to navigate, especially once you can morph into animals.
