  • Summary: The latest installment in the Legacy of Kain Series is a 3rd person 3D action/combat game in which the player assumes the role of the vampire Kain. A compelling story drives the player through huge lushly detailed 3D environments and challenges his game play skills in combat, puzzle solving, stealth and exploration. With each success, the player achieves new dark powers that will grant Kain the ability to access treacherous new areas to explore and the power to face stronger, more aggressive enemies. As the player develops a stronger, more skilled vampire, he is rewarded with dozens of in-game cinematic sequences that unfold the continuing epic of Nosgoth, and Kain's attempts to ultimately rule over it.

    A dark and unnerving game that will impress and worry you with how nefarious it truly can be. [May 2002, p. 82]

    Soul Reaver fans will find a familiar experience in Blood Omen 2, but the new game lacks the innovation and the surprising drama that made the Soul Reaver series great.

    Combat is where Blood Omen 2 really outshines previous games in the series. [June 2002, p.109]

    A heaping bowl of mediocrity that quickly turns soggy in drenched pints of blood.

    I played this game a few year back but have very fond memories of it. Awesome fun sneaking through the fog and ripping the hearts out of the enemy! Story line and voice acting are iconic for me. Would love to see a sequel on some modern hardware. I don't think he metacritic score is a fair rating of this game.… Expand

    The original Blood Omen was a wonderful game, this one is wonderfully tedious. The level based play is the same thing over and over, and the fighting isn't even as good as Soul Reaver. Skip this piece of bile and play the original.… Expand
