The prick at the counter tried to convince my mom that we should get Sherk instead of Halo when we were buying an Xbox. Luckily she had the good sense to ignore him. Might have been the most important decision of my life.
Similar story. My godfather god rest his soul had me come to his house to watch him play this new game he got he knew I’d love, that was Halo. For my birthday my parents got me an Xbox and the game they got me? Shrek LMFAOO my godparents handed me their gift, Halo
I managed to get it for &10 delivered in Australia in perfect condition with manual and not a mark on the case. It just looks brand new. Amazing they were selling it so cheap. It was nice to get a game case with zero stickers.
I never got a chance to play it back in the day. When I got an Xbox in 2003 I completely forgot about blood wake😢. I found a sealed platinum hits version of blood wake for 33$. Can't wait to get it! I dig your passion towards the original Xbox. I'll be watching more of your videos soon😊🤟
Thanks for this review mate. I just got this game this morning and what a gem it is. It is just so fast and fluid with beautiful colors. I am using the XboxtoHDMI adapter with my OLED and this game really pops. It is a shame it was only release on original Xbox though as this deserved far more recognition for those wonderful water physics.
As a kid, I loved the cutscenes. They were very similar in style to the campaign intro and outros of Age of Empires 2, which I also was obsessed with at the time (and still now!)
What drew me to Bloodwake was my love of vehicular combat. Dead in the water did this idea year before but Bloodwake took the idea and ran in a better direction.
Looks good. I have seen this title sitting on the shelves a few times and just never paid it much attention. Crimson Sky comparisons are intriguing as I was similarly hesitant to pick it up but then loved the hell out of it. I'm with you on Halo being a poor choice for concerned parents. I let my son play it when he was younger, having not played it since it was new. My partner asked "WTF is wrong with you?" and she had a good point.
Hey Camp Xbox. Enjoying your great videos here in the UK. Got this game and enjoy it thoroughly. Your video is spot on. Bloodwake seems to grab you and doesn't let go. Pity it is not a bit longer. Would it be possible to also review Driver Parallel Lines in a future episode please? Keep up the great work. 👍
I really wish they would remaster this (and many other dead-end games) and place them on steam for reasonably cheap. So many golden titles from the old days simply forgotten to the sands of time
I played this game while staying home from school with a fever. I couldn’t play it after that because it reminded me of how bad I felt. Really wanna get an original Xbox and try it out again
i always thought this game was so good. it was too tough for me as a kid so i only ever played like the first couple levels but i played the crap out of the multiplayer modes. i never understood how this game wasn't talked about more back in the day or why there wasn't even a sequel.
p.s i thought the cutscenes in blood wake were fire cause it let me imagine what was going on in different ways and even though pre rendered stuff looked great it got annoying to me that pre rendered cutscenes looked miles better than the gameplay. it was cool for some games but i felt like it ruined my immersion for some others because of the drastic difference in quality.
Now imagine there was 3 games available at the time ... there was nothing backwards yet that was before that lol there was halo and this game with fusion frenzy lol until about end jan begin feb .... yes games might came out but were not available my city yet or was not the same internet lol so could not just look I remember it cuz i got to skip school to pick it up and play it
I love your review and this was one of my favorite games when it first came out. I just reorder it on Amazon and look forward to playing it again. My question is can it be played on the XBOX ONE OR XBOX 360?
@campxbox thank you for your reply. I was trying to be optimistic, but reality has set in. Now I have to buy an XBOX. Funny part is, the XBOX is now even more expensive than the 360 , because of supply and demand.
What a blast from the past. Me and my brother were trying to remember the name of this game for the longest time.

It makes you think how many kids might have got some other game instead of Halo haha
Shrek was definitely a sick game but Halo for sure a better choice

This needs a remake or remastered version and it’ll be popular again I swear
It's crazy seeing this game again as it was the first Xbox game I ever bought and played. Thank you for bringing back such good memories.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I picked this up a couple of weeks ago, it’s currently in my backlog but I’m looking forward to playing it. Another great video 👏🏼
Thank you, I appreciate it!
This game is one of my favorites....of all time
Never thought this game would rank so high.
Great review! Found this at a local game store today for $6 and am excited to get into it.

Blood Wake has blood in the title
Halo, well Angels have Halos, so obviously it is less violent, even if Halo is M and Blood Wake is T
Hahaha makes complete sense!
I remember playing this at a demo kiosk before the xbox was launched and the water blew my mind.
Me too. I was going to make the same comment.

Haha sometimes its tough, but at least it was a fun game!
Great video man, your a thorough reviewer. I'm a huge fan of this game and you did it justice.
Much appreciated! This game deserves more love so I wanted to make sure it was done justice.
I just got this based on your suggestion and video , thanks!
Hope you enjoy it!

Would it be possible to also review Driver Parallel Lines in a future episode please?
Keep up the great work. 👍
I'm glad you are enjoying it! I don't own Driver Parallel Lines at the moment but I'll look into picking it up!
@@campxbox I heard many people that it is better than Driv3r. It would be good to have your take on it too
I remember spending so much time with this game. Loved the boating effects.
I was always fascinated about this game but never have I actually played it
I really wish they would remaster this (and many other dead-end games) and place them on steam for reasonably cheap. So many golden titles from the old days simply forgotten to the sands of time
I absolutely love this game! One of the first games I had on my xbox. I played the campaign through countless times and loved the multiplayer too.
I played this game while staying home from school with a fever. I couldn’t play it after that because it reminded me of how bad I felt. Really wanna get an original Xbox and try it out again
God i wish we could get this on modern systems

One of my all time fave Xbox games
I love your review and this was one of my favorite games when it first came out. I just reorder it on Amazon and look forward to playing it again. My question is can it be played on the XBOX ONE OR XBOX 360?
Unfortunately not. This is only playable on the Original Xbox.
@campxbox thank you for your reply. I was trying to be optimistic, but reality has set in. Now I have to buy an XBOX. Funny part is, the XBOX is now even more expensive than the 360 , because of supply and demand.
Never even heard if it until this video.
It's worth trying if you are able to!
wow memories 😢
How is this game STILL not backwards compatible
🤘🕹🎮🍻
awesome game but horrible hard
This game needs a sequel for the Xbox one X (typed this simultaneously as you said it in the video)
