This is a rare game in that it doesn't have much replay value as it is a completely linear game, but I still love coming back and playing it over and over again. The storyline is great, the voice acting is impeccable, the dialogue is profoundly eloquent and the level designs are amazing, they complement each other perfectly. The drawback to this game is that there are many block puzzles that are too numerous, tedious and a little tiresome after a while. There is a noticeable emphasis on using the environment to defeat enemies which is a little something that games need a little bit more of. But you should give this game definite consideration to adding it to your game library.
My Favorite Playstation game So Far....

This game is by far my favorite. If you've seen Tomb Raider, this one is even better. I have to confess, with tomb raider 3 I got bored and never finished it. This game is very superior. The storyline is awesome, the voice acting is very good and the puzzles are cool. Something else I like is that the difficulty of the game is centered in the complex environment and puzzles, not in frustrating 'out of bullets' situations like other games.
As I said, the scenario is complex, but you can travel easily using 'Warp Gates'.
As a summary, the only reason you may not like this game is that you don't like vampire-related games. Can't wait for SR2!!!
My favorite game (next to Tony Hawk 1)

I was pleasantly suprised by this game. The game play was excellent. I really enjoyed the puzzles, the fighting, bosses and everything else, however the ending lacked, severly lacked. That was my only complaint. I have played and played it again about 5 times and it keeps getting better. I am tired of those hack and slash games. I like a game that has a balance of both and this one takes the cake. The opening story sold me the most. I would recommend this phone to anyone who likes a challenge. It took me forever to beat it the first time(without the strategy guide). If you play it, play it first without the guide, then play it again with the guide. You will be suprised what lies beneath the game.
Soul Reaving has never been better.

The game's first cinematic sequence shows why Kain casts you(Raziel) into the Vortex of the Dead. The reason he does so is because you grew your wings before him. As he circles you, you are suddenly drenched in pain as Kain rips your wings. As you lay there wounded he orders your vampire brethern to toss you into the abyss. After an eternity of pain and suffering you finally hit the bottom of the abyss.A voice suddenly summons you.He tells you he can help you get vengance on Kain. You tell him you don't deserve this fate and he replies by telling you that you have no choice. You find the cape that marked you as clan leader and cover up your face to hide the fact that your jaw has disintergrated off your face.You reluctantly agree to his offer to help.You soon discover that instead of blood you hunger fo souls.
PROS:
-Nice length(50-60hrs)
-Responsive controls
-No in-game loading
-Fantastic storyline
-Challenging puzzles
-Pulls out emotions that you normally don't feel in games.(like remorse)
-Fighting controls
-Gaining ablities by killing your enemies
CONS:
-Sometimes puzzles are harder than neccesary
That is all I can tell you without ruining anything. Just try the game and you'll be sure to love it.
