This game will suck you in

I am really not into adventure games, reason being that some of them are too long, and I get bored easily (reason that I love sports games, you know when they are over). But this game just sucked me in. The voice actors of the game are awsome, these guys and gals are hollywood quality. The story is very intriging and addicting you just want to know what is going to happen next. The game is fairly long and there are many places to explore. I would reccoment this game to anybody (EXCEPT CHILDREN: THIS GAME DOES CONTAIN SOME VIOLENCE (IMPALING, BURNING ALIVE, ETC..) AND BLOOD AND GUTS SO I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS GAME TO YOUNGER CHILDREN SO PARENTS PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE RATING). The only problem witht the game is the camara it sometimes does things you don't want it to you can always fix it but when you are in the middle of being attacked by a vampire it's hard to fix the camara and aviod being killed. Most of the puzzles are pretty easy but there are some difficult ones. Well overall this game is highly recommended.
Best Game Ever!

Soul Reaver is the Best! You get to use spells, weapons, Even your bare hands! this game combinds a thrilling story, lots of action, and practicly imposible puzzles. If you are going to buy it make shure you have a save pack or it's crap. If it were up to me I'd give it 10 stars!
Welcomed Suprise

I had never even heard of this game before. I have almost every Dreamcast game and I am always hungry for more. When I saw this game on the shelf, I thought to myself, "This looks O.K." When I took this game home and started playing it, I was mezmerized. From the opening story, to the gameplay, it has got to be the best Dreamcast Adventure Game ever made. Never has there been a game that is so original, exciting and spooky. Between impaling enemies, crossing between two worlds and feeding off of the souls of your enemies this game can not be beat. BUY THIS GAME!
A very good game...

...That really takes advantage of the DreamCast's processing power. This game runs very smoothly at 60 frames per second. Much much better than the psx version. Sound is also much better than the psx. However, the psx is an inferior system and one would expect these minimal improvements.
Character models have really low poly counts with hi res textures. This means you see really clear, but blocky people and characters running around and it comes across as a game where the developers just threw better hi-res textures on their old cash cow game (in the 'biz they call it "slapping some new makeup on the wh0re and sending him back out"). Game play is fluid and easy to get into. The effects (lighting, fire, magic, warping from one reality to another) look very slick. The voice acting is well above average but the cut scenes can get a bit boring after seeing a dozen or so. Overall, LOKSR is a very cool-looking, somewhat long (25-30 hrs), mature, somewhat difficult adventure game that really takes advantage of the dreamcasts processing power.
Simply Amazing

thats all that needs to be said to describe this game. Its blows the pc version away and easily makes the psx version looks like a dogs chew toy. Running at a constant(NO SLOWDOWN) 60 fps, and no popup this game is a must have for any Dreamcast owner, and if you havent bought the sega system this game gives you a reason to buy one.(Also check out Crazy Taxi)
Incredible Game

Graphically, this game is genius. probably the best graphics on dreamcast, and the opening movie will blow u away. gameplay is good too, although the objectivs may get on the long side. a great game nevertheless.
Good graphics, better game play, perfect story.

This is a trend setting game in the way that it looks, but it also has great story lines and secrets that you can find. Though the game is fun it is very hard. Despite the toughness of the game it is a great game and you will get many hours of enjoyment out of it.

I first played this game on the PS and I thought it was great but the graphics were lacking. However the game was released for the dreamcast and I was very happy of how crystal dynamics handled those problems and wiped them clean. The models move better than they did in the past and there is now more attention on the land itself to make the game look spectacular.

Lots of violence to open the game and the movie clips are great. The game control becomes natural after just a few minutes. The progress of the game slows when sometimes you don't know where to go next.The bosses are incredible but it takes some time to figure out how to beat them. A strategy guide will take care of that. Get this game if you like Resident Evil...and get Kain 2 Overall the best game of its kind.
