  1. This game packs an incredibly well-scripted storyline with puzzles, and outstanding graphics to deliver an intriguing third-person RPG that is a joy to play.
  2. There is a certain "been there, done that" feel that weighs everything down. That, plus a few significant design miscues, make for a game that comes up a wee bit short when compared to the often outstanding original.

  1. Soul Reaver 2 is a truly sublime plunge in a world so complicated it'll make your head pound. That said the plot, the story, the voice-acting and the lush visuals are all spot on however the control scheme and the constant backtracking may be appalling to some. Highly recommended for fans of the series!!! Expand

    Fantastic an truly amazing. Great, I mean, great plot and excellent gameplay. Wonderful looking graphics. Go play it now! Incredible compelling.
  3. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has an amazing and hard story, merged with great gameplay and soundtracks, which make, of this, another great game in the Legacy of Kain series.
    Somehow, this game makes you so satisfied when you finish the Soul Reaver's "expansion" that you feel very happy and very sorry when you complete the game, because you wanted it to last even more.

  4. As good as Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver; twisting plot, excellent dialogues, nice puzzles, time travel. But the version on pc is not balanced( rather play it on ps2), and the game is ... short: it kinda ends in the middle of the fun. Expand
