Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

I must say that I have never been happier with a game. The quality and play you get out of Soul Reaver makes it one of the few bargins left today. In short you are swept up in the world of Raziel, the first born vampire in Kain's council. Wings were his gift of evolution. Recieving the gift before the Master was simply bad timing on Raziel's part. Instead of using his lieutenant's new ability to further his cause Kain became furious, tearing the bones out of his wings and ordering him cast into the lake of the dead. The Elder(an ancient god like being) has now given you the chance for revenge! Seek out your mighty sword the Soul Reaver (once Kain's) and exact your revenge on those who betrayed you. I have great hopes for a sequel. I will surely buy it on the merits of this game.

I couldn't stop playing!!

Enjoyed the video between levels explaining the story line and really liked solving the puzzles. I was dedicated, couldn't stop playing and completed the game in less than 2 weeks. That's a long time for me so the game was fairly challenging.

VERY GOOD GAME!!

This is a very good game! Although the controls are [not good], you can set them how you like them. It is also very scary, for one, every time you turn around the corner you see a vampire. I give this game four stars because it is not my favorite game but it is very cool!

Best of the series

This is the second game that I've purchased by Eidos and have yet again been disappointed. The navigational controls are extremely frustrating with just a keyboard and mouse. The game is basically unplayable in my opinion. Maybe it's better with a gamepad.

Fun but creepy...

Crappy Playability

The playability on this PC version is terrible. The controls don't work like they should. Even with my P4 and enhanced sound, the soundtrack and voices lag and stammer. The puzzles are annoying and outdated. The layout of the route you follow is redundent. The game is tedious and slow. The plot and dialogue are corny. This is like a game from the 1990's that's been updated with 2000 graphics. I think you're better off with Quake 2 or Enclave.

Soul Reaver is one of the best games out there today. It is full of action, puzzles and is backed by a good story line. The game itself runs smoothly and and play control works very well with a game pad. The graphics are amazing with rich colors and runs smoothly. It is definatly worth playing and I am already recommeding this game to my friends.

Wonderful...absorbing..

This game is excellent, after playing the demo hundreds of times a day for days and days, I got Soul Reaver. the starting cutscene brought me completely into Nosgoth and Raziel's plight. I found myself rooting for Raziel and cussing out the vicious enemies as I was occasionally, but not too often, sent back to the spectral realm. one note-watch our for those #$$#$@ing Zephonim/spider vampires they are a real hassle.

Wow

Intense graphics, gothic storyline, and awesome gameplay. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that many parts of the game are hard to figure out ... It's often difficult to find where you're supposed to go next.
