80May be repetitive, overwrought, and fraught with unimaginative puzzles and enemies, but those of you dying for some bloody GameCube fun won't get it much better than this.
-
Beautifully detailed gothic environments. [Feb 2003, p.155]

Graphically, it certainly won't win any awards but the surroundings are suitably gothic and provide a convincing setting for the bloodthirsty business at hand.

76The game is a touch too simplistic, but does have solid characters, and very good sound.

Nine months and no enhancements later, BO2 hits the 'Cube. Surprisingly, it's still darn good. [Jan 2003, p.102]
-
The graphics are well above average, the sound is superb and the gameplay is good, if a tad stale.
-
71The story has at least a couple of fine twists, and Kain is as memorable of a main character as they come.
-
70This doesn't feel like a true next-generation game. If you can live with that, the dark nature and gritty storyline of the title may outweigh its drawbacks.
-
Linear and repetitive gameplay, inferior hit detection, and unattractive visuals makes a good deal of this title difficult to go through even once.
-
Hardcore gamers need not apply; this game does not push the series in any direction. In fact it kind of drags it back a little but that's fine as long as it hits its intended audience.
-
It's got a great story and a well-defined protagonist, the graphics and sound provide a suitable sense of place, but the problem with the "lock" during combat and the funnel quality will more than likely turn some people off.
-
68The least impressive title in the Legacy of Kain series.
-
For an undead ruler, Kain sure has to flip a lot of switches and push around oodles of crates. [Feb 2003, p.144]
-
60While it features an excellent overall presentation, the actual gameplay comes off dull and uninspired.

Kain is stiff when mutilating the townspeople, and the clunky character designs collapse the mood even more. [Jan 2003, p.76]
