This game is a much improvement of its perdecessor soulreaver one which was an awesome game to start out with but they found some of their mistakes and fixed them. The story is very indeth yet easy to figure out with unexpected plot twist that at the time you find out you ask how could you have been so dumb. How ever the ending movie I still don't get. One otherthing is the lighting when you are propelled into the future really stink they could have done better. All in all this was a great game.
Beautiful, but has repetative gameplay and confusing plot

I loved this game. The shifting between "spectral" and "reality" planes is so awesome -- someone should make a science fiction movie based on this idea! The graphics are drop-dead gorgeous, reminiscent of but better than Tomb Raider. I also loved the moodiness, the time travel aspect, and the *attempt* within the cutscenes to convey a deep and building sense of mystery about Raziel's true role in the history of his world.
My problems are the following: The game has many repetative aspects. (1) Combat, as far as I can tell, is always just running around and slashing. After a while you get tired of this. (2) You have to traverse the same geographical locations beween 4 and 6 times during the course of the game. While this may be realistic (and granted, the environments do NOT look identical each time you see them), this too becomes tiresome. (3) A lot of the gameplay takes place in quite dim surroundings where it's hard to see what's going on. (4) The save points are too far in-between; sometimes you have to play for three hours straight just to get to the next save point! (5) The puzzles bear no relation to the plot, but this is a common problem in games of this sort, and finally (6) the plot is just too confusing. For someone who's not familiar with the "Legend of Kain" mythology, the plot will leave you totally bewildered. You will sit through hours of cutscenes that drag on and on in the mode of "Only now did I finally understand Kain's true reason for bringing me here..." but you will understand nothing. I think Eidos should have included a quick summary of Nosgoth's history as prelude to this game for those who have not yet been initiated. They should have also cut some of the frequent verbal jousting found in the cutscenes in favor of more real explanation and history.
But, the game is beatiful, so please play it.
Still Great

Ok, I just rented SR2 the other day, and wow! I was extremely impressed by the entire game! I was so into this game, I played it for three days straight, and on the fourth day, I beat it. I was so anxious to finish this game since it was so astounding! The graphics were excellent, the movie scenes were superb, and the director's bonus material was TDF! This is a must rent for video game veterans, and a must buy for video game fans!
PS. enjoy the outakes :)
PPS. This game contains violence and gore

sweet game, played it straight for 2 days. The plot twists and turns in ways you didn't even know were there. Better combat, this time you need to learn how to fight and master your technics, not just press squar.

I really love this game.It continues right from where 1 left off which most games don't do.After you travel through the time portal you meet Moebius.The story kicks off from there.
PROS:
-The phenomenal voice-actors appear again.
-The gripping story continues
-Fighting is better than in 1
-Graphics
CONS:
-Save points are far apart from eachother
-Too short
-Ends in another to be continued
All in all this is a fantastic game
