The puzzles can be a little tough for those new to this type of genre. If you've played Tomb raider and like it, you'll love this game! Gameplay, story line and art are all top notch!
The NEW vampire legend continues...

Although this game isn't usually what i like to play, it sucked me in right away. The story and artwork are FANTASTIC and the gameplay is just as good. The puzzles can be pretty tough, but it's all worth it for this great game.
Help! Mom! Vampires!

Soul Reaver is different than other games. It's more bloody, more guts coming out, more driving through the heart things and talk about the fluid character. Though the camera views are stupid and the gameplay isn't near perfect, who CARES!
die, yuck, ha ha, whee! this game has it all

the character animation is great, the stroryline is dark and gothic, and the puzzles are chalenging. however, it is very gory, but if you could sit all the way thru Braveheart, you can stand this.
Pinacle of adventure game-play, until the end...

Soul Reaver was exiting, with lots of impaling that will makeyou and your friends cheer. It also made you think quite hard tosolve the games many puzzles. However, the total lack of resolution at the end of the game leaves you frustrated and wanting your money back. END

This game is the greatest, the best game ever made for the PlayStation. It is incredibly so much better than Metal Gear Solid. The only problem that I have is that I always think of the first, about how much fun I had when controlling Kain and joining him on his many adventures and what he has now done in the sequel. Still, this game can only be described as "PERFECT." It is definately a MUST BUY no matter what. If you don't buy this game, then you've got a really serious problem.

The game plays like a movie and will keep you on the edge of your seat. The gameplay is pretty good; and, as the game progresses, your character gains new attributes to assist in vanquishing his vampire opponents. The graphics and sound are very good. Soul Reaver has a variety of puzzle elements which can be very tricky, and you will get stuck. I highly recomend buying a guidebook to go with this game. Overall, this game will keep you glued to the TV for hours.
Solid game

Simply put, this game was very well put together. Storyline, animation, graphics, control, and music were all expertly crafted to bring one of the most enjoyable experiences on the PSX to the gamer. At no point does this game overwhelm the player with mundane intricacies or fruitless hours of combat. Instead it combines the right mixture of hack-n-slash with exploration and puzzle-solving. Definitely a leader in the developing action/rpg genre. Be warned that this game is geared towards a mature audience and that the game itself provides plenty of gore.
Outstanding Game

This is a really good game with outstanding graphics. The storyline is compelling and gainging new abilities and being able to explore different sections of the same place keeps the game fresh.
