I've played many, many games like this but this is definitely the best I've played. At first look you may think it's just a game where you go around killing people, but after you play it for a while you'll realize the engrossing story which goes along with it. People may say that it's slow paced, which I saw in a few reviews, but the story is so good that I actually play the levels to see what happens in the story! It's that good. I highly recommend buying this game, but as always, rent it first.

Great game, but flawed.

Blood Omen 2 boasts incredible graphics, great scenery, well designed enemies, an excellent combat and ability system, a great base story, and some of the most frightening images ever to grace a game.
Unfortunately, it also boasts plot holes big enough to drive a truck through for the Legacy of Kain series officianado, ridiculous glitches that have no place in games of today; like enemies backing into, or falling dead into, walls, and the inexplicable inability to toss enemies into bodies of water. And then, like every LOK game, there is the puzzles. An incessant barrage of them that makes the player go temporarily insane and wish the game would just GO and stop with the mindless throwing of switches, dropping of blocks and moving of objects.
Still a great game, Blood Omen 2 does not, however, live up to the excellence of its predecessor,or even come close to the incredibility that is Soul Reaver, but it is a definite buy for LOK fans.
-Oddly enough btw, gamers who have not played any of the other LOK titles may enjoy this one a bit MORE, if only because they can't see how little sense some of the story's aspects make.

A very fun game to play

I'm sure there are many gamers out there who, with enough imagination, will find something wrong to say with any x-box game. I'm not one of those people. I found the game really fun, and I recommend this game to any one who likes games who are challenging but accessible. I'm sure some will find that this description doesn't deserve à Five star rating, and maybe they are right. But the truth is I wish more reviews were more honest (from the heart) and less technical. Trust me, you won't be dissapointed if you get this game!

Good game, but could be better

Blood Omen 2 is a good game overall, which is hard to find these days. The story is intriguing and the characters are interesting. Let's break this game down:

GRAPHICS: I give the graphics 3 out of 5 because I don't believe the graphics are to the standard we expect of an X BOX game. The graphics don't look much different than the PSX.

CONTROLS: I give the controls 3 out of 5 because the controls are easy to master; however, even with your gained powers throughout the game you can't do much. You continue to hack and slash the same way throughout the game all the way to the end. Also, it is difficult at times to fight several enemies or enemies with armor as they have special attacks they use frequently that you can not block and in some cases can't dodge.

FUN FACTOR: I give the fun factor 4 out of 5 as I believe the game is still fun to play despite the discrepancies within the game. The story line is almost enough to keep you interested. Additionally, you have to use your head as most levels contain puzzles you have to solve in order to open a door or destroy an enemy. It is not your typical hack and slash game.

I gave this game a four star rating because I have enjoyed playing this game despite the discrepancies. I like the fact that you gain additional powers throughout the game. For example with the mist power, you can sneak up to enemies and conduct a stealth kill. If you are looking for a good game that is somewhat challenging and you like the Legacy of Kain series this may be a good game for you; however, if you get frustrated easily this may not be a good choice as the controls and moves are a bit cumbersome.

I HOPE IT GETS BETTER

I first want to say that I love a good chalange . I also want to say that I was a big fan of Soul Reaver 1 . But I like my games to be (FUN!!!!!!!!!) NOT FRUSTRATING!!!)I was having fun playing this game until I got to the first boss Vampire (FAUSTUS). This boss has an energy bar that is about ten times larger that yours , He blocks every blow you throw at him, Many of his blows you can`t block and some will drop you in about two hits!You are lucky if you get in two or three hits!! I have fought FAUSTUS about thirty times and still have yet to beat him ! the control is part of it . It is rather clunky. This will be my LAST Eidos game . They all seem to be like this (frustrating). I may take this game back or trade it for store credit. I think HALO really spoiled me!! Parts of HALO can be rather hard to get through but it is still fun! Thats what playing games is all about, Right? The game should not make you want to pull the disc out and smash it!

Great Game!!!

I really enjoyed playing this game. This is the first game in the Legacy of Kain series that I have played so I have nothing to base it on. I felt the fighting could get a little repetative, but the story is so engrosing that you can't stop playing. The graphics are outstanding even though it's only as powerful as the PS2. A special X-Box version with enhanced graphics would have been nice. It looks great anyway and I would recommend to anyone to at least play this game.

Amazing

Blood Omen 2 provides original enviroments, tons more than the original. With stunning graphics, this may even be better than the game of the year, Halo. Earns an A+. Also try: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2.

If you like killing inocent people this is the game 4 you

I liked this game even thought it was a bit slow. You get your moneys worth though, it's long and not too easy. The blood and guts becomes a bit old after the first few hundred people you kill (optional) and I think the creators saw this and so every level or so you find new wepons to use for an ever entertaining demise for the towns people, thugs and other nemeses. I think stars are given out a little too easily these days but I gave it a four because of the story line. One of the only games where I have liked the story line. This game is definatly for adults and not kids so if your stomach turnes easily please, for your sake have a large can or container to vomit in.

best one in the series
