Chris McCarver on 411mania has posted a review of Vampire Rain for the XBox 360, and has some choice words for the VO:
OK, so apparently the sound design is less than stellar. This is frustrating to me. With all the money that goes into these productions, it wouldn't be a bank-breaker to invest just a little more into the actual performances. As the bar for graphics continues to rise, why do we settle for crap performance?

"Oh, good God, the voice acting. I call it acting on a technical basis only, because the dialogue and its delivery remind one of a grade-school production of Blade: Trinity. The fact that the script is weighed down with crippling levels of exposition is bad enough. But when you combine it with voice acting this degree of phoned-in, it reaches a whole new level of dreadful. The music is capable enough, but it doesn't move much beyond your typical creepy and morbid low-toned string section that we've heard in nearly every horror game and movie for the past couple decades. The sound effects themselves supply enough of a creepy ambience, but again, nothing new here."
