I have been a fan of the LOK series for awhile and when I heard Blood Omen 2 was being released I was happy about it.I bought the game and it is a TOTAL let down.The game has terrible problems.It has MAGOR problems from freezing up,collision detection,sound,framerate(meaning the game slows down so much it pauses or stutters)and various other problems.Save your money and don't buy this game.You will regret it.It is one of the worst games I have played in years.I have been a gamer since I was 10 and I am now 28.Trust me on this one.It's just worth a rental but don't buy it.

I was a little bit worried that this game would not be as good as the original which came out on the Playstation. I was right , it is way better. The graphics rock and the story line is awesome. If you like games with a killer anti hero as the main star and plenty of blood , then this is the game for you.

First off I aknowledge the problems with this game that I have heard about. The framerate does get a bit choppy occasionally(on ps2 anyway). The graphics are night quite as good as they are on Soul Reaver II(which did come out months before this). The enemies are not very tough for the most part. Oh yeah, and BO2 could be a bit longer.

However I'll these problems as a small price to pay for getting to play Kain in an amazing atmosphere. It sucked me in. Its a lot like Thief: the dark project in the atmosphere. You move around stealthily(or not and just slaughter quickly) and hear the the townspeople say a startled "did you see that" to one and other. They beg for their lives -- The voice acting which has always been incredible in the Legacy of Kain series, is held up just as high or higher in this game. The different dark gifts are really cool to use, and the fighting system is simple but still engaging enough to be fun. I know alot of people liked SR2 better than this, but if your like me and think that Raziel is a bit of a priss, go get this game.

Blood Omen 2......

I was figuring this game would be another Soul Reaver(and in some respects it is)but I was pleasantly surprised. This game is fairly linear(not so much wandering around) and it drips with personality. You can't help but dig Kain and his arrogant attitude. I sat night after night playing through this game just to see what happens next in the storyline. Each level has such a high amount of detail that you'll find yourself stopping, every now and then, just to admire the scenery. I'll admit, it's not without its' flaws(collision detection, choppiness) but there's not enough of it to take away from the whole gameplay experience. Blood Omen 2 is a brilliantly thought out game, one well worth the experience of playing though. I think the thing I loved most about it was the thrill of the fight. About halfway through the game, those guys you go up against get harder to beat. So, when you do beat them, you feel like you've accomplished something. You owe it to yourself to check out this game. You'll be glad you did.
Here's hoping there is a Blood Omen 3.

Not a bad game for genre lovers. The Xbox version is slightlly better as it has smoother graphics and more gameplay.

Blood Omen 2 is a combination of incredible action, sophisticated(but not infuriating)puzzles, and an very neat plot(not to mention the EXTREME amounts of gore). it is an awesome game, and whether you are a "Legacy of Kain" veteran, or simply a newbie. I am sure this will become your favorite game. Did I mention that there is a TON of gore!

Could have been so much better

This game was simply a waste of potential. I am glad I rented this game first,because after completion, I had no further desire to play it again. This game portrays the vampire sub-culture in a very cool way. The story was entertaining, but the voice acting is where the game really shines. I sometimes want to play the game again just because of the great dialog. UInfortunately the gameplay is terrible. You fight with the same couple moves EACH time you get into a battle. Punch, punch, grab, throw. Unless you have a weapon then expect chop, chop, big chop. The only thing that adds diversity in the monotonous fighting is the few vampire ablilities you can use. Even then, its still going to be the same silly fight after you use one of your abilities. They would be better off making a really intriging movie from this series, because the game itself offers nothing but linear gameplay and tedious fighting, puntuated with wonderful dialog and great voice acting. Keep the directors and actors, fire the game developing team.

Yeah i think this is a great series!

This is the first in the Legacy of kain i have ever played and yes i like it, this story makes me curious to play trhe others which i hear is better , i must say the glitches piss me off and the controls and actually game at times really can fustrate you. but that does not take away the essense of the game Edios have the tenency to make game with lots of errors and some horrible graphical flaws example Hitman.
I will definitely play this series through this game wasn't so bad i love the story or did i mention the terrible Lip sync? ummmmmmmh oh well all in all a passible effot by Edios laters folks and gamers feast on the blod on humans ha ha ha ah!

If you do not follow the LOK games skip it the gameplay is stiff and annoying if you know the LOK story tis worth putting in your libary the gameplay is weak but all the games since Soul reaver have had many gameplay issues.

Edios did not keep their devs in check this has Voradore living when he died before the pillars fell,of coarse time travel is a option for some in any case thats the only part of the story that dosent follow the rest of the series well.

LOK:Blood Omen: Happens before the fall of the pillars
LOK:Blood Omen 2: 500 years after the fall of the pillars
LOK:Soul Reaver: 1000-2000 after the fall of the pillars
LOK:Soul Reaver 2: 20 years before and 50 years after
LOK:Defiacne: 500? after and the same year of the fall
(sorry if my times are off,time travel is sooo fun ><)

If the next game follows where LOK:Defiacne left off then Kain with the fullly restored Soul Reaver stands before the newly fallen pillars to fight the corruption of the Hyldan and to restore balance and his freedom from fate.
