If you are a fan of the first Blood Omen for the PS1, or a fan of the Soul Reaver games, then this game is for you. Rich atmosphere surrounds a story of ambition, and betrayal. Kain, the ultimate anti-hero, leads the gamer though a labyrinthine city built on corruption and dispair, pausing only momentarily to feed on Meridian's hapless victims. If you like your games Goth, with a twist of dark humor, Blood Omen 2 is your ticket. Excellent graphics, with only the occasional hiccup, solid voice acting, and a rich musical score await those brave enough to follow Kain on his journey. You will love it every step of the way.

A great game

I recently finished this game. The game is a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. The fighting took some getting used to and I kept getting killed by gaurds until I got the hang of it. The look of the game and the sounds are first rate. Kain and Vorador are back but most of the other main character are new. Kain looks really cool and gets more cool looking as the game continues. The puzzles are not that hard, but challenging enough to make you think. One nice feature is that you will find yourself constantly using the dark gift powers you get from killing vampires, this is pretty cool. The jump gift really looks great. All the random killing you can do does give you something to do while trying to figure out howe to solve a particular puzzle. Overall I really enjoyed this game. I think Soul Reaver 2 was a better game but this is still in my top 10 for PS2. PS2 games aren't too cheap so it is hard to recommend buying a game that you could finish in one or two rentals, but it is great game and is certainly a game you could play several times over. Some of the stuff is pretty gross but I liked all of the blood and guts. Wither your a fan of the series or not, this is a great choice. My main complaint is that once you get all of your powers, the game is basically over. However, this happens in just about every game so this doesn't really take away from Blood Omen 2.

Wickedly Entertaing and Irrisistibly Designed

Upon awakening 200 years after his supposed death, Kane is lead forth once again....

Kane is Wicked. It is refreshing to find a character that is both evil and arrogant, yet so highly likable. His personality and convictions were ingeniously crafted. Along with the entire history of Nosgoth relayed through the "Legacy of Kane" series.

As to the game, I'll put together several points:

.Graphics: The imagery is illustrious and astounding. The game looks very good. One of the outstanding aspects of the game is the spectacular architecture for fleeting moments. You'll gaze around an incredible landscape, and spend perhaps only a minute in the area. Large scale.

.Music: Immaculate score, considering the subject matter and imagery the player experiences throughout the game. There is never a falty moment. The music consists mostly of dark atmospheric and sombre orchestral ambience....while battles explode into intense orchestral kettle rolling. Very impressive. Then again, I have an effinaty for for dark music.

.Voice acting: I found the voice acting to be very well done, yet lacking a bit in editing it together. Although above standard, Soul Reaver 2 was done better. This is not to damper any oppinions. The voice talent is very good....especially Kane, his voice has that edgey quality, that seems like it'll explode yet remains calm and lucid. Very fitting to the character, and I couldn't see him any other way.
The ingame voice talent is great and well written, like two workers talking: worker one: " I keep herin' these farts, and then a thump!" worker two: "what koind a thump?" worker one "like the thump of a fallin body" worker two "that's an evil toip a thump." All out english accents.

.Gameplay: Like I sayed earlier, Large Scale. The gameplay is irresistible. Stylishly dark. The gore is quite satisfying, as opposed to too many games cutting short of my alotted bloodiness requirement. Kane is capable of many different pain inflicting moves, that you, with extreme pleasure may excersise at will. These include the stealth moves: sneaking up on somebody, and thrusting your arm through their chest, and by doing so removing the victims heart, and then letting it drop to the ground. Or simply chop the head off, twist his/her neck, impale with sword, cut the stomach open....ah the possibilities are endless, as he does several different fatalities with each weapon. One of the most gratifying of all, after having faught with an opponent which is no longer able to deal out death to you, and is now desperatley attempting to pull himself/herself away like a slug on the ground, go over to 'it' and give it a disdainful last kick. Die like the Dog you are!
The obstructions in the game are well done. Obstacles take no great time to figure out. No tedious puzzles or riddles. Finding the way is a good experience. Alot of detal and immense density go into the archetecture....amazing for the time it takes to simply surpass the area. Amazing.
The enemy resistance is not difficult either, Kain is god, they are worms. This makes a game great. Progressing fast, not getting old, but the inevitable one great flaw: it has an end.
Kain will become more powerful as he progresses. By drinking the blood of the fallen, he not only replentishes his health, but also adds to his experience bar, which when filled, will grant Kain more life energy. In addition to these enhancements, He also gains knowledge of the "dark gifts" these including some ideas that other games have only tantalized about.

.Plot: The plot is good. Amazing, if you have played the whole series, as the game build upon the lore of Nosgoth. I have to admit, the Soul Reaver's are by far superior in this field.

Blood Omen 2: The game is incredible. It's attention to detail and design are greatly appreciated. The atmosphere created ranges from horror, to surreal and everywhere in between, resulting in a spectacular and immense eperience. I highly recommend this game.

This really is a good game , the new fighting stile and the different kinds of weapons you can found troughout the game. the story follows a chronologic order, and it is not so bad,what i said about the fighting stile wasn`t`a joke , tell me in how many games you can stop your enemy`s attacks in different directions or you can break his neck, stuck a sword in his chest or hit him with a brutal spiked club? oh and if its not enough, you sometimes can control your enemy`s mind, and move him wherever you want.you can use many kinds of suits too , drink the blood of your enemy, and never forget the famous SOUL REAVER , nosgoth`s most powerful sword, this sword can hurt the enemy , and hurt his soul too , and after you kill the enemy, the SOUL REAVER feeds of the soul , amazing , huh?

seriously, buy it if you love action

First off, I would like to say that this series is the best that has come out (except for Final Fantasy)! This game is a MUST HAVE! inj this game you go around as an evil vampire seeking revenge for your death. You can slice people up, then suck their blood afterwards! As I recall, in the original Blood Omen you could turn into a wolf or a bat and tear people up like that. This game is a gamer's dream come true....

best game in the series

This game looks great. I hope it is longer or at least takes longer than Soulreaver2 did. The preview for it that was included on SR2 made sure that I will purchase this the day it comes out. Kain is as was stated on the back of the Soulreaver 2 manual..."Gaming's most evil bad[man]." I am really looking forward to this game. Hopefully the ending won't be a cliffhanger like Soulreaver2 was.
I just finished it last night. The glitches and freezing are horrible BUT the story and combat system more than make up for it. The return of Vorador was something of a surprise as was Janos showing up as well. Kain does mention something to Vorador about prefering the grave so he apparently was brought back somehow, Maybe with a "Heart of Darkness" or something like that. There was only one character that Kain killed I wish he hadn't, although the reason why it was done, at least from his point of view made sense still you get the sense he wishes he didn't have to. And the ending was wrapped up nicely no waiting another two years for the end of the story arc. Now if Soulreaver 3 will hurry up and come out we can find out what happens next. I like playing Raziel byt I love playing Kain hopefully will see some more of his adventures as well
