Where did the blood go?

Whenever I play this game I feel like a bloodles zombie who never moves anything on its body including its brain. Oh wait you dont need a brain for this game. It is very simplistic and not a lot a variety. The graphics have many holes in it a s well. This game is by far not a quality game. They should of spent a little more time on a game like defiance. I think it would have been alright if they went right to defiance and skipped this one.

a vampire game without chainsaws?

hmmmmmmm.....i expected so much more from this game...the first month i had it i kinda enjoyed it...i liked going down a street and slitting open an innocent merchants belly..i liked killing someone who just helped me...but PUSHING CRATES?...cmon...the bosses are WAY too easy once you figure out their pattern...the weapons in the game serve no purpouse other than for show...i killed enemies just as quick with my hands as i did with the dual edged sword (though i did like using that weapon, simply because it reminded me of a dark ages era darth maul)...combine this with ultra repitive fighting (block block block...slash slash slash) and what you have is a solid, yet ultimately boring game...

good game

This game i really like. The graphics look pretty good. 4.0-4.5 for the graphics. the sound is good. 4.5 for the sound. The controls i found responsive and very easy to learn. At first this game was like wow! Now it is just great. I can not compare it with any other system. So i say if you have not yet pleyd this game then you should do so now.

The TRUTH

This game starts out teaching the basics, and works you up to able to fight from the sarafan gaurds, up to the sarafan lord, who in mine and anothers opinion, is weaker than the gaurds. The graphics on the X-Box version, were rather good, despite some slow downs in the battles later on in. The battle engine was good despite some hang ups. I found one graphical problem, at the end when you begin to face the sarafan lord, before the fight as you walk around the portal, if you picked up a large sword, it seems to go through your shoulder. The story is impressive,sporting a large cast of characters, large variety of allies and enemies, and a large twist at the end. My personal favorite vampyre, is Janos(pronounced Yawn Os). My review ends with a standard among my games, a 4.5 and none except Final Fantasy X, has been more deserving.

Kain's rise to power....

Consisted of,lots of switc flipping,blood sucking and killing,occasional,yet very aggrivating boss battles,and of course revenge.Blood omen 2.A game where you get to play as the bad guy,for once,Sounds too good to be true?Thats because it is.While the graphics are eye candy at times,and the controls are pretty good (depends..),the boring gameplay that soul reaver 2 did away with is back and worse than ever.Hmm lets see..in kains plan for world domiantions we will see "1. flip lots of switches"hmm sounds like fun.NOT.well get used to it.You'll be doing it a lot,althought killing humans in as many ways possible is very fun,you might not make i to the end of the game with all this switch flipping,and the combat is kinda stale,you block dodge,then mash that button,*sighs*how original.Thank you crystal dynamics,once again.next time,dont rush your games.Oh and,unless your a big fan of the series,like me,dont buy it,rent it,thought I'm not buying it.

Realistic Point of View

I played this game for a week. This game was weak even for Eidos. I think Eidos has slipped in making great games. This game had more clipping through walls, clipping through characters, problems with the fighting engine, and even a few always crashes. I think Eidos needs to A. Fire their test department. B. Get a developer who can fix bugs. C. Someone needs to fire Sony's test department for approving this garbage for kids to buy. The story was good and gameplay was fun when it wasn't getting buggy on me. Personally I think this was a rush job to reach end of year deadlines. If you stab a guy in the heart he should die, shouldn't he? Or is that just my sense of reality. Oh and creature that crawl on the ground can block as well as spiders? Come on! This is worse than Laura Croft shooting a guy 20 times before he dies. My opinion, buy this game used or wait till it is in the $19.99 bargain bin and boycott Eidos for their abuse of making us gamers look like idiots.

Fantastic four was better than this cesspool.

wow!Kain's really good at sucking and he proves it once again in this cesspool of a game.Crystal D must have been high when they made this joint.A game is like a picture,it is made up of a thousand words;this one must be misspelled.I wish my X-Box had a switch to turn this nightmare off.Oh wait, it does!

fighting with a level boss is still like playing Japaness games.

Let the xbox handle the graphic, sound and game loading time. All you have to do is say Wow! third party game is still be so much fun to play except for the level bosses designed, it is still like playing japaness games that the ideas are that a boss must has a long life bar, limit area of fighting by closing all the doors. Please, let this kind of ideas apply to old fasion game like Resident Evils. Thank for not taking the idea of open all doors and wait for loading times like playing in PS2 or Gamecube that get no help from harddrive. This is new world that all the boss should look real. That why Halo is the best game of the year. It has all kind of new ideas that you will not find in Japaness games. Overall is still very good surpass the PS2 version. I give It 4.5 for graphic, 4.5 for Digital Dolby sound, 4.0 for charector control( programing movment of charectors need skills) fun to play is4.0( new idea - please!)
