Soul Reaver 2

THE BAD:
It was too short, the battles were a bit repetative, not much exploration allowed. But apart from that, it's a GREAT game.

SUMMARY:
This is my SECOND FAVORITE GAME in the whole world.
Basically you play as Raziel, who is a little blue demon-thing.
He was Hell-bent on killing his maker, Kain. But after travelling back in time he realises that there is more to worry about than killing Kain.
Throughout the game Raziel meets lots of interesting "people" and goes to lots of interesting places.
But evil forces are against him and he and Kain must team up to destroy them...

Personally, I loved this game. The game was pretty short and I beat it in a few hours. But the story is so detailed, that you have to go back and play it over and over again. The graphics are good and so is the sound. There are lots of enemies to kill and there are lots of ways to kill them (heh heh, FUN)
And there's an unexpected surprise at the end...
Soul Reaver 2 is definalty a must-buy.

THE BAD:
NOTHING!!! lol

SUMMARY:
Even though I have seen better graphics(like in Final Fantasy X) but you still gotta hand it to them, it is better than alot of PS2 game graphics I see out there.
Even the movements of the characters are believeable and fluent.

The sound is amazing, from the sound of Raziel's wings flapping and his feet pounding the ground to the noise of swords and poleaxes colliding.

The voice acting is superb(even though I do laugh at good ol' Mobieus and the Elder their voice acting was great)

The storyline may be a bit confusing at first, with all of its twists and turns. So you might be better off playing Blood Omen(1 and 2) the Soul Reaver before playing Soul Reaver 2/

The music is the best I've seen, it sounds truely Gothic and fits with the game.

THE BAD:
I dont know wy it didn't have enough adversiting

SUMMARY:
I like challange, and this is one hot game.
A lot strategy and complicated game that is more and more interested.
A Action Game with very good graphics, this game have a lot of brain use and i agree that is only for one that have master skills, I dare you to play it, if you can.
I give to this game if i can a three thumbs up.

THE BAD:
everything else: i know thats broad, not very helpful, but thats all i can say

SUMMARY:
I went out on a limb buying this game, and it was a BIG mistake! I'm here to try to rescue others from making the same error.
Soul Reaver 2 is just flat-out awful. The plot, the characters, the music, the graphics, the puzzles, and above all else: the combat system, are terrible.
Eidos was on drugs when they made this piece of crap. And not good drugs that inspire creativity, but bad, bad drugs...That's what the whole Legacy of Kain series is: a horrible drug-induced bore.

THE BAD:
The story gets super convoluted - some things become twisted and Kain is a ?????good guy????? huh??? WTF???
Short, but not without some confusion
A little on the unfun side

SUMMARY:
If you've played and loved the original Soul Reaver on PS One, you will like this game. You may not be as enamored with it, though, as you were with the original. This game feels as if it were hastily thrown together, and the story line seems as if they got it from a choose your own adventure book.

You are Raziel, and apart from some really cool flashbacks to you as a Serafan knight, you are the good guy in this quest. You were murdered by Kain when you where a vampire, before that you were a knight who killed vampires, and you want to avenge yourself on Kain and are now being thrown about through time and space by a time bender named Moebius. Seem confusing, don't worry - it is. Oh and did I mention that you have a sword molded to your wrist, that comes in handy for sucking souls. Seems nice, doesn't it - good thing dead guys don't masturbate, though.

The whole game seems really epic from the outset, as you cross time streams, get jacked up in the process, and overall fight some nasty interstellar/dimensional demons. Plus you have to avoid the machinations of Kain and Moebius - the true master of evil, or wait did I get those confused, perhaps it is the other way around. Well, I've beaten the damn thing and I am still a little confused, you will be too, unless you wish to sit through it again, which in this case you probably won't.

The game just isn't its predecessor, it doesn't have the grip or the awe that the first game did. The graphics are very much improved upon, and there are some cool cathedral scenes, but then you get to some real gloom, that continues on and on and on and on and on and on. Plus, I got lost for two hours and wandered not knowing where I was supposed to go. I still ended up beating the game in like 10-11 hours which means it is very short. It is also pretty easy, except for the confusing parts.

The part that really sucks, if you'll pardon the pun, is the soul sucker itself - the reaver. Your reaver gets new powers in this game, much like Raziel did in the first game. Those were cool, though. These are not. You have to go through numerous large - did I say LARGE side quests to light the different soul fonts. Then you can travel through time, etc, etc.. But this time around your sword doesn't disappear like in the first game - it just sucks your life away. I find it very odd that a game can change its very motivation. Seems weird to me, and it doesn't detract that much, but it makes the reaver less cool than it was in the first game. And, gimme a break - the game is called soul reaver, not limited power soul reaver - gas up now.

This game is probably just a weekend rental, unless you feel you must have it. I won't part with mine, because I love the first one. However, I am not stupid enough to buy Kain's second one. If that story continues, oh well; I guess I'll have to miss it and hope the next one is a heck of a lot better.

THE BAD:
The game was a bit slow, so people with low patience wouldn't last long.

SUMMARY:
This game was the best game I'd played for a long while, Everything about it was spectacular. The sequals aren't usualy as good as the first games in terms of story but Sould Reaver 2 was! Not to mention the great graphics and audio. The combat system seemed a bit boring at first but with a little practise, like most things it gets better! Not much else to say realy, if you like long complex and insome cases confusing games then this is the game for you. If you dont have patience or want an all action game then get Devil May Cry!

THE BAD:
everything: i know thats broad, not very helpful, but thats all i cant say

SUMMARY:
I LOVE THE STORY AND CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT TO KNOW THE "DIABOLICAL THEM" AND RAZIEL'S AND NOSGOTH'S END. YA THE GAME SEEMS SHORT BUT IT HAS ALL THE ESSANTIALS FOR THE BEST GAME EVEA, HOPE THE NEXT IS ON 2 OR 3 CDS FOR LONGER GAMEPLAY AND MORE MOVIES. WITH SUCH ANIMATION NO WONDER 1 CD VERSION WAS SHORT.
WHEN IS COMMING
