Blood Omen 2

THE GOOD:
An excellent storyline, giving you the origin of vampirism as a curse rather than a blessing in Nosgoth.

Detailed levels with a good learning curve and tricky puzzles.

Excellent voice acting.

THE BAD:
Poor collision detection for non-player charcters who exhibit ghost-like abilities at times.

Linear level design.

SUMMARY:
Let's start with the good. This is an improvement over the PS2 version in looks, the characters look nicer and move smoothly but it still has scars from those dark days (clothes sitting halfway into the wearers body, Kains claws poking out of the back of his hand when his fist is clenched). Slowdown rarely occurs and when it does it's usually because you're approaching a large, complicated area. The fighting, though basic in terms of attacks, has a nice level of tactical requirement, having to judge when an opponents guard is down or when they're about launch an unblockable attack...
