The game does really offer some great gaming moments, addictive hard-to-put down levels and some great boss fights.
The visuals aren't as flashy as some more recently released titles for the console, but the cool storyline and gameplay more than make up for it.
The game has a remarkably easy to use control setup, and the addition of a training mode right at the outset is a blessing for those new to the series.
It's not a triple-A, system seller, but it's a solid game none the less. If you enjoy story-driven games, gothic settings, or vampire bad asses, you'll enjoy BO2.
So while this may not offer the same level of ingenuity as the original Blood Omen, it’s certainly more varied than the Soul Reaver games.
Once the "coolness" fades after the third hour, you will wish you would have rented this and not purchased it.
The story could easily have been told in a third of the time, leaving room for more substantial narrative and perhaps even more inventive level and game design.
