Kain returns once more, much to Raziel?s chagrin.
Perpetual rivals Kain and Raziel continue their blood-sucking and soul-devouring quests for answers in this gothic offering from Crystal Dynamics. The fifth installment in the Legacy of Kain series has cannibalized several elements that made its predecessors so much fun. Instantly apparent in Defiance is an improved battle called ?Intelligent Combat Toggle,? a feature that auto-locks on to enemies for precise strikes. Other improvements include a new air-juggle technique for pummeling the blood and/or souls from wayward Serafan and telekinetic push/pull abilities designed to impale opponents on sharp objects. Defiance?s plot will be ripe with demonic intrigue as conveyed by the familiar and gifted vocal talent of previous games. And while still only in beta form, both the PS2 and Xbox versions displayed awesome graphics and tight gameplay.
