At first I was unimpressed even though I'm a VTM fan. But little by little, as the game progressed, it got better and by the end I loved it.
The plot turns out to be multilayered engaging and interesting. Gameplay gets really fun with time - jumping between buildings, smashing your way through enemies, matrix style time slows etc.
I didn't go with ordering enemies to kill themselves, making them fall in love with you or stalking the shadows, but if they are as well done as Brujah disciplines you'll have a lot fun if that's your thing.
Give the game a chance and put some time into it - if you like vampire/superpower themes - it's worth it.
On the down side, at least from my point of view, is very PC at times and takes time to get rolling.
