Wow [Posted on 2002-04-08]
Intense graphics, gothic storyline, and awesome gameplay. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that many parts of the game are hard to figure out ... It's often difficult to find where you're supposed to go next.

Beyond Your Wildest Dreams [Posted on 2003-04-04]
I bought and played this game in 2001 when it was already several years old. I had watched a review about it on TV a year before that, and the price was quite reasonable at the time I purchased it.

With not so many expectations, I was awe-struck at the level of detail and creativity poured into the story, the characters, the dialogue, the music, as well as the graphics, level-design, and playability.

Just search the web for keywords such as Raziel, Kain, Soul Reaver, Blood Omen, and you will see for yourself how intense this storyline has proved to be. There are many fan sites out there thriving on the epic characters and universe that the Legacy of Kain series have created so gracefully.

A few of the key elements I found captivating about the gameplay is the fact that there were no 'loading screens' keeping you waiting. The game seemlesly loads the respective portions from the CD as you walk around.

Another feature that caught my attention is the ability to destroy your opponents in several different ways, which all of them, by the way, clearly display the power of hatred and vendetta gathered within your game character, Raziel.

I recommend this fantastic piece of game which delivers art in all forms you can imagine (audio, video, literature) to all of you. But know before you buy, that the graphics, although still beautiful, may not live up to the expectations of some of you out there, who have started gaming very recently, or can only be impressed by nothing more than a Quake-3-engine running on the latest 3D accelerator video card.

VERY GOOD GAME!! [Posted on 2003-04-16]
This is a very good game! Although the controls are [not good], you can set them how you like them. It is also very scary, for one, every time you turn around the corner you see a vampire. I give this game four stars because it is not my favorite game but it is very cool!

Crappy Playability [Posted on 2005-01-13]
The playability on this PC version is terrible. The controls don't work like they should. Even with my P4 and enhanced sound, the soundtrack and voices lag and stammer. The puzzles are annoying and outdated. The layout of the route you follow is redundent. The game is tedious and slow. The plot and dialogue are corny. This is like a game from the 1990's that's been updated with 2000 graphics. I think you're better off with Quake 2 or Enclave.
