Health is represented by two vials — a red vial symbolizing total hit points, and a blue vial which is an indicator as to how long it will take to increase overall health. Lost health can be regained by draining the blood of a downed enemy or civilian.
As progression is made throughout the game, several weapons can be attained, such as a broadsword or staff. Weapons have limited durability and will eventually break if used for excessive blocking.
If no weapons are selected, claws can be used to attack, as well as abilities, which are gained by killing bosses. The graphics look really great, I wasn't expecting this game to run as well as it does because of the way the graphics look.
Lets talk a little bit about controls. I don't really use the keyboard to control this game. There's no need. But anyways, with this particular gamepad, the crontrols were already fully mapped perfectly. This makes the fighting a whole lot easier. The only problem I have with the controls is that there doesn't seem to be a way to look around.
Now for the bugs. I haven't noticed any other reviewers mention this, but this game crashes incessantly. It's possible it could just be my particular system but I doubt that. My PC is WELL over the recommended system requirments and still this game tends to crash every ten minutes and for such a long game that doesn't have the ability to skip cutscenes it can get really annoying to have to redo all your progress over because the game crashed before you could save.
And it's also not very fun to interrupt the continuity of the game every five minutes to save for fear of the game crashing. It would be nice if Eidos released a patch to fix the controls and this annoying crash bug. But apparently not many people have purchased this PC version so it probably wasn't reported to them.
As for the game it's self? Well, the game play, in my opinion, is very fun. This game is, however, ludicrously violent. You're encouraged to kill the innocent bystanders throughout the game. This seems to have been a complaint in the reviews I've read about this game.
But I think people have failed to realize that the character you're playing as is "Kain" and he is by no means a nice guy, even in an anti-hero kind of way.
Kain is quite simply the most evil character around and I think the game developers did a good job of allowing people to fully experience that. The voice acting, as with most Eidos games, is superb. The story is the weakest point of this game, but I guess they needed something to tie in and help explain Soul Reaver 2 a bit more. I also feel that while the original Blood Omen is arguably the best RPG of all time, this game is straight forward action, it contains no element of RPG and it's pretty linear game play also.
I don't think it makes for very good replay value other than just wanting to experience the story again. One person found this helpful. Continuity is a beautiful thing. At times it may be acceptable to ignore continuity that is ancient history.
Grant Morrison refuses to deal with past issues in X-Men, the Marvel Ultimate line has thrown continuity out the window entirely, but these are stories that are some forty or fifty years old, Legacy of Kain isn't even ten yet.
Soul Reaver has had extreme attention to detail, and only one issue of continuity remains in Soul Reaver, leaving out the fact that Vorador attacked the Sarafan with the Soul Reaver in the original Blood Omen, a plot element that seems to have been forgotten, but is a nit pick and not that important.
Kain has always been about the story, and no other series has had such critical continuity, but in playing Blood Omen 2, which lets the player reprise the role of Kain himself, it would seem that the development team which is different from the minds behind Soul Reaver has not played any of the previous games. There are some serious plot issues in hand that contradict the original Blood Omen, as well as work against Soul Reaver, most notably, Vorador, love him as we all do, and his dealings in this game.
It seems to me that someone on the writing staff wasn't informed that Vorador was decapitated by Mobious in a public execution toward the end of the original, a fact that was reiterated in Soul Reaver 2. This issue creates a massive hole in the timeline that is frustrating me because I want to know how Vorador managed to survive having his head taken off.
The game is a lot of fun, and sadistically satisfying. A lot of games have been very tame of late, and it's been hard to find a game that's been ridiculously gory. This game has plenty of blood, and doesn't hold back at all, and for that I have to give it praise. However, despite being fun there are a few issues that plague the game.
