Gaming LoK: Blood Omen 2

[ZeoMiraiTrunks]

If you are a fan of the Legacy of Kain series, RENT THIS NOW!! It's a killer game(literally), and it surely beats Soul Reaver 2 in gameplay and game atmosphere.

For those of you who remember Blood Omen 1, how Kain sucked the blood out of his victims from about 5 feet away? Well, he does it in this game too, but in full 3D!


TRY IT

[COLOR=darkblue]A while back, I started with the Soul Reaver series, skipping Blood Omen...but now that I've played the game at my friends house. The game is huge and the story of the vampires really got me hooked on it.[/COLOR]

I would have preferred if they kept the game more in the same vein as its predecessor. I mean, if you're going to split the series, at least make them different kinds of games. Instead of making what is essentially another Soul Reaver, they should have made Blood Omen 2 a pure rpg Fifteen hours worth of gameplay pale in comparison to the orignal's massive quest. Plus, the puzzles are tedious, like in the original Soul Reaver. It's still an okay game, just taken in the wrong direction.

Yeah, the battle system is definitely cool. Blood sucking is also a lot more entertaining than soul sucking. Still though, it would have been cool if there was more game in there. As a direct sequel to the first, the quest should have been more, I dunno, epic. I do see your point though. The game does have some really neat little aspects here and there. The storyline in the Kain series is always top notch.

[color=royalblue]Yeah, the original was awesome.

Silicon Knights (the original's developer) was saying that they probably wouldn't have taken the sequel in the same direction.

SK is also working on Eternal Darkness for GameCube...which they've been working on for about four years now...it's looking incredible so far.[/color]

Yeah, I was looking forward to getting that on N64, before it was canceled. I'm really surprised at the progress it's made graphically. However, I'm most anxious to see how well they'll pull off the multi character storyline. They've been working on that game forever, so something about it has to be pretty special.
