Blood 2 was better than Blood 1. Also: Flare guns! Such a good weapon.
Wasn't better than Doom (PBUH) though.
EDIT: I just look up Blood 2. It is 3d? I don't remember this and it looks rubbish! Was there an expansion to Blood or something? I definitely remember their being Blood and then something even better than Blood...
I only discovered the existence of Blood 2 a couple of years ago and it looks terrible. I've never played it but unless I can set fire to monks then I don't wanna play it.
I didn't play anything better than Blood for many years later, but if you're thinking about an expansion then One Whole Unit Blood has some additional content apparently. I'd left the PC scene by that point (or maybe I wasn't really following it) so I've no idea what the extra stuff was/is. I'd be interested to know what it was that you're remembering since if there's something new and exciting Blood related junk that I've never played then I wants to know about it.
It's probably just the expansion. Or, if the game had a demo containing levels not in the real game, that and then the real game?
EDIT: FACTS AHOY:
1. Blood was Shareware, which means I would have originally played the entire first episode for FREE.
2. I think I got Blood off of PC Zone or something that wasn't my usual PC gamer. It featured a weird captain's wheel iconed app called "Netscape Navigator" that opened a big list of games on the CD. I was confused at the time about how to properly navigate within this app.
3. After reading about them, I don't remember anything from the Plasma Pack or Crypitc Passages.
THEREFORE:
I probably played the shareware version, completed it, and got excited enough to but the game and play the rest?
Given that I recently replayed Ultimate Doom + Doom 2, which are still some of the most enjoyable games in existence, and the first few episodes of Duke3D, I might given this a go at some point. Only £4 (+ the time to paly it
)
