No, Bloodlines is set in modern times LA, and the game uses the Source engine. Unfortunately Troika got fucked over by all of Valve's delays to HL2 and they had to develop on an older version of the engine, which is the reason for all the bugs in the 1.0 version. Patched to 1.2, the game is pretty good, though you'll still be aggravated at times if you don't have a gig+ of RAM.

I don't recommend using the unofficial patch. It does fix a few more things, but the guy who made it didn't know the difference between fixing bugs and making design changes that were never intended in the first place.

One other thing -- make sure to play as a Malk. The "insane" dialog is the best part of the game.
