blood omen 2

[MPTheory]

No patients?  then, no like!   yeah, the opening scared me.. At first I thougt that The games actual production was going to suck ass... but, give it a good 20 mins. into it, and its alllll gravy... Kain gets better to use as you go...  Ive never had so much fun killing my own race...  Oh yeah, you can kill cats! haha

give me a more detailed review when you get a little further in

I\'m still interested in this game

Yeah.... I read the IGN review and paid attention to what he said about it.... I have lost my faith in IGN.. By the looks of the review, he took little problems and blew them up to be major pain in the @ss things... The framerate and little bugs here and there in the gameplay - for example: if you were to kill somebody sometimes they would fall THROUGH the wall... But that really wouldn\'t bug me a whole lot..


Also it has little replay value... But then again.. Most games don\'t have unlimited replayability either...

The score should of deserved a 9 point...


Even in that review he said it was addicting as hell running around killing and sneaking around... That\'s what most of the game is! And if that\'s real fun.. What\'s the big problem? I say pick it up.. I know I will.

We all know how many glitches there are in GTA:3, but the game still rocks.  I sure hope we can say the same for this game.

I am renting the game and I am on chapter 2.   So far nothing special. (except killing cats)

so yeah, Im on chapter 6 now... I love this game.... nothing better than sneaking up on people and stabbing them with all sorts of fun, and very sharp objects... and if that isnt enough.  punching your fist right through your enemy\'s chest, making their heart fall on the ground, will surely be enough...
  Anybody that loves the "legacy of Kain" series, will love this game.  Make sure  your ready for a chalenge, The humans are not as easy as you would think they are.
  One negative thing I can say though:  I don\'t know who they have looking for bugs over there at Crystal, but, they need to hire someone else... Restartng the game, becase Kain gets stuck on a ladder, can really piss someone off...

Sure, I could review the game all day long if you want..   what aspect of the game do you want to know about?  the story or the game itself?

id rather know about the game, not the story, as i dont want ti spoild...but i sorta know whats it about

[MPTheory]

Okay, heres what I think.. The Game play is pretty good.  they have a lot of cool puzzles and the "dark gifts" that you receive in the game are pretty cool.  Now, I was talking to Justlight, and we have come to the co0nclusion that Blood omen 2 was supposed to be a release for the PS1, and judging by MOST of the graphics, that holds true. the frame rate is kind of poor, there are alot of characteristics of the game that seem to run like a PS1 game (Like the body movements of the charaters, at least judging by the work that was put into soul reaver 2, and also little things, like, people falling through walls.)  There are also some glitches that could have been ironed out.  Now, the story is pretty good.  Don\'t get me wrong, the game is very playable.  Its just a shame that they didnt put a little more time into the developement of the game.  So, with all this said, I would have to say:  If you are a big fan of the Legacy of Kain series, this is a "must have" game... now, If this happens to be the first out of all 4 from the series you were planing on getting, I wouldnt start with this one!  You wont be impressed, (at least not for a PS2 game).

damn......ill maybe rent it

I just picked it up on and so far other than a few control complaints I think it\'s pretty good.

I haven\'t noticed any major framerate issues. What I have noticed is the Streaming data off the disc sometimes slows it a bit. I guess that\'s what you mean. But I only notice that when I step on a checkpoint. It lasts for a few seconds after that.

I\'m loving the Darl Gothic Atmosphere, it\'s pretty cool. The sneaking and Gliding is awsome. It\'s cool to be on a rooftop and glide down and drop right behind an unsuspecting pedestrian and then gore them. What could be better than that?
I wish there was more of that though. More stealth would be cool. Right now where I am in the game, most people just ignore this 6 and a half foot vampire, with a bloody Sword, while he is walking down the street.

of course if I saw a 6.5\' Bloody sword carrying vampire I would probably ingore him as well.

The puzzles I have encountered have been pretty good so far. I like the way the puzzles are not only there to inpeed your progress, but you also need to solve some to beat the bosses.

People may want ot rent it first. But if you like Vampires and the concept of the game I think you are pretty safe to buy it. EVen if you never played any of the other games.

I have no knowledge of the series and it\'s not bothering me a bit. They explain what you need to know at the beginning.

Want my suggestions on the game? GET IT! I got it last weekend.. And I don\'t want to stop playing it! I\'m on chapter 11.. I think near the end of the game... And I love the game!


The only thing that gets old is the nonstop blocking.. But it\'s worth it when you get that final smack of the weapon on his @ss.. Everytime you suck more blood and kill others.. Your lore bar raises.. Which is your strength and power..


The puzzles in the game can be challenging when you see them.. But if you think to yourself.. Okay.. I see a box I can move.. This puzzle involves the box... Hmm... Then if you look around and experiment.. You eventually solve. Most puzzles are easy.. Like dropping a box from a high elevation to blow a hole in the ground.. Or moving the box across water onto a square switch that opens a door.

The game is real fun.. I swear you will have fun with the game.. And the story is actually pretty good. The thought of Kain ruling the land again excites me... Not much plot twists.. But I only have one.. It involves Kain and another vampire... A woman vampire.. But I won\'t give anything away.

I HAVE ONLY ONE PROBLEM SO FAR IN THE GAME!... And that\'s the framerate.. You notice it dropping when it\'s loading the area ahead... It can be annoying.. But if you just stop in your spot and let it load for 2 secs.. It\'s worth it. I\'ve had one freeze in the game.. It was during a fierce battle with 3 guards.. The guards with the Sparda lookin swords... I notice the framerate dropping during that fight.. Then it stopped...

I haven\'t had any other framerate problems during any other battles.. When I shut down the ps2 and restarted.. It ran fine after that.

Now... If you were to get the Xbox version.. I bet that freeze would have never happened.. But I got over that problem fast.. The game is real fun.. Addicting as fvck!

One thing I love about the game is fighting the bosses.. There is always some strategy for you to figure out.. Kinda little puzzles to kill.






GET IT!
