Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-horror game where players take on the role of Blade, a half-vampire "Daywalker." You hunt and destroy vampires and other supernatural threats, using your unique abilities to protect humanity from the creatures lurking in the shadows. The game involves investigating vampire activity and engaging in combat to eradicate them.
Story
DAYWALKER'S JOURNAL
In this modern day of television, automobiles and computers, mankind sits complacently on what he believes to be the throne of the world. Arrogantly assuming that they are masters of all they survey, mankind is unaware that an ancient predator lurks in the shadows, stalking them.
Like the flipside of a coin, another world co-exists with ours. One where mankind is little more than food; prey for the beasts. This beast has had many names throughout the centuries, in many cultures, but all who hear it know the name: vampire.
They exist, and have insinuated themselves into all walks of mortal life. Their greatest weapon: anonymity. But a few, like Whistler and myself, are aware of their presence, and have vowed to wipe them from the face of the Earth.
This is my duty, my mission, my calling. I venture out into the darkness to destroy, and keep destroying until they are gone and mankind can reclaim the night. The vampires know me, and fear me, for I am everything they are and more. I am their undoing. I am Blade, the Daywalker.
Bitten by a vampire when in labor, my mother died giving birth to me. That bite would prove the vampire's greatest mistake. It created me.
I have their speed, their strength; sunlight, silver and garlic don't affect me. I have all of their talents and none of their weaknesses. I've used these abilities to carve a swath through their ranks. War has been declared, and I will emerge the victor.
Deacon Frost, former leader of the Vampire Nation, is just so much ash now. But these vermin never lay still for long. Damaskinos came, and attempted to bio-engineer the Ultimate Vampire.
Immune to silver, resistant to garlic, they were all but unbeatable. But they weren't immune to sunlight... We defeated them. Barely.
Now the forces of darkness seem to be stirring again. We've received intel on an exchange of blood between a local mafia group and a known vampire clan. I'm en route to investigate...

360° Combat
Blade is the ultimate vampire hunter, fighting off hordes of evil suckheads who cowardly attack him in large groups. Since vampires don't just line up to get killed, Blade needs to attack in any direction - this is where 360° Combat comes into play.

Tutorial
Before Blade takes on the Vampire Nation, he likes to train in Whistler's warehouse hideout. Training gives you the chance to get used to Blade's weapons and combat controls.
Note: You may go back into the training area at any time to brush up on your moves.
Campaigns
Blade™ II takes place over three campaigns, each with its own locations, missions and vampire tribes to battle. Once you have completed the Tutorial, the first campaign, The Karkov Tower becomes available.
To select a campaign, highlight it by scrolling UP or DOWN using the left analog stick and then press the X button.
Missions & Objectives
Each campaign is made up of a number of missions. Only missions that have been unlocked can be played. A new mission is unlocked once you have successfully completed the previous mission.
Available missions can be scrolled through using the left analog stick and selected by pressing the X button.
Each mission includes an objective and often a sub-objective. Completing sub-objectives will be rewarded with bonuses. You can view your mission objective during the game from the Pause Menu.
Equipment Selection
This screen allows you to select the weapons, ammo and equipment Blade will take into the mission. Each weapon has its own characteristics, and certain weapons may make completing the mission more difficult. Choose wisely.
Initially, the equipment available is limited. More equipment becomes available when Blade earns high scores. So try for as high a score as possible on each mission to unlock the weapons quicker.
Blade can only carry a limited amount of equipment. When you first access the Equipment Selection screen, all his slots are empty. Below the slots is a scrolling list of items he can select. Only items that are available can be selected.
To select an item, scroll left or right using the left analog stick or the directional buttons and then press the X button when the item you want is highlighted. Items can fill up one or more slots.
Once you have selected a weapon such as the Mach Pistol, its ammunition will become available for selection.
To deselect an item, highlight it in the scrolling selection at the bottom
