Fun but the puzzles are a little obscure...

I am enjoying this game but it is primitive compared to "Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain" which I played first. "Soul Reaver" is the sequel to this game and its graphics and scenery are SO far advanced compared to this that it is unbelievable!

I like the freedom this game gives you to explore the world of Nosgoth but I am frustrated occasionally by how obscure some of the solutions are to the puzzles- ther eare still doors I can't open because I haven't figured out the trick.

The shapechanging and spell abilities are cool though!

The Greatest Vampire

One the best and finest quiet classics available for the PlayStation. The story, FMV, story, and voices were the greatest features, as well as shape-morphing. If there is anything that I can say about this huge and impressive blood-sucking adventure, it is this: Kain is the most powerful, realistic and exciting vampire ever; the ultimate vampire since Dracula.

A fantastic bloodfest!

Blood Omen not only features very well-done visuals and sound, but the story is written in such a way that just draws you in and doesn't let you go. This is an ABSOLUTE MUST for vampire fans!

One of the best game ever...

Except for the loading time, nothing is wrong with that game. It has everything the casual or hardcore gamer might seek in a game: incredible storyline, interesting, not overly complex nor too simplistic gameplay, and a fantastic atmosphere. For once, ALL the items, spells and weapons are useful, and you have to learn to make combinations, as well as using the shapeshifting abilities properly. The plot is intricate, very well written and simply epic, majestically told by very talented voice actors. Indeed, this game is a must ^^

Epic and Involving

Although graphically ancient compared to the games nowadays, when this game came out 3 years ago...WOW. It has the feel of the old style 2-Dimensional arcade games. Besides running around and hacking things up..which is cool and all...you get to do a variety of exploring. New abilities granted to you in the game (Changing into a bat or mist) allow for hours of exploration to previously unattainable areas. The storyline is compelling and the gameplay is fun for anyone. There are a variety of weapons, spells and powerups that contribute to the lasting effect of the game. The computer generated movies are still well done even today...although parents may want to be cautioned at some of the violence depicted in them. For any lover of the vampire genre..this game is an epic!

For the vampire in us all

This is one of those games that can be played over and over again. I've beaten it 3 times, & have found something new or interesting every single time I've played it. If you like vampire lore or role-playing games, you need to buy this.

Before Soul Reaver, there was Blood Omen...

If you're looking for a moody, intricate RPG with plenty of action and dark themes, here's your best bet. Even if it's a few years old and has some "ancient" graphics, everything about Blood Omen is AWESOME. The creepy music, the deep gameplay, the spells, the levels, the secrets, the FMV...it's just something you don't see everyday.

Awful!

This game is no good! Do noy buy! Horrible audio/video. Great story, but the gameplay is awful! Load times are so ... slow! Buy Soul Reaver instead.

Ok this game is the must have can't get game of playstation history. Upon the first 30 seconds this game has you aksing questions and seaking revenge. The FMV's and voice over are most exelent (thank you Simon Templeman and Tony Jay who where by far the best as Kain and Mortanius). The story was one of the best with twists and turns resulting in betrayal. The only thing that could be improved upon are th loading times. However though they are long they are tolerable. The puzzles and secrtes ranges from easy to advanced as the game progresses. The magical spells and wepons and armor combonations are well made, and with myth and time period can be portrayed realistic. As to have come from the scurge of hell. The only bad thing is as I am writeing this Blood Omen can no longer be obtained for Playstation. Everything has goen to the hype of Soul Reaver. If anyone from Activision reads this please reissue this must have game.
