SUMMARY: As a fan of the Soul Reaver pair, I highly recommed this to anyone who likes a game that makes you think and second guess along with lots of action, upgrades, beautiful graphics, intense moments and stunningly crafted cutscenes with expert voice overs.
The plot thickens in this sequal that will continue to twist your brain inside out and take back anything bad you may have said about previous characters! Leaving you once again with another mind numbing, controller hurling cliffhanger and new revolutions.
After completeing the game, you are given extra options on the start screen to see bonus material such as concept art and the history of Nosgoth.
**Play this if:**
You like dark, folklore vampire features, enjoy puzzle solving and hack and slash. Like taxing your brain,...
THE GOOD: FANTASTIC storyline, good graphics, good voice acting (especially Kain's voice), and everything else in the game.
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....
THE GOOD: Great graphics, sound, voice acting, storyline, and music
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 GOOD: the storyline can be a little interesting, if you've played other installments from the Legecy of Kain series. otherwise, very confusing and dull.
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 GOOD: Raziel wreaks havoc! The graphics kick ass! The Soul Reaver Some cool cutscenes
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...
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
General/Summary: "History abhors a paradox," so says Soul Reaver 2. Indeed, this game is suffused with history throughout, as you the gamer take on the role of Raziel, and are propelled through cycles of time in the epic mythological story of the world of Nosgoth. While Soul Reaver 1 was a dark, gritty, undead fantasy adventure, SR2 feels much more medieval and Biblical in nature. The Sarafan Stronghold looks like a medieval Gothic cathedral lifted right out of 13th century France, while the ruins of the Darkness Forge reminded me of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and the setting of the Light Forge reminded me of ancient Greece with its soaring white marble columns, and the Air Forge ruins were reminiscent of a cross between ancient Mexico and the civilization of Egypt. I was absolutely blown away by how realistic some of the settings were. It was like traveling back in time and unearthing ancient secrets of lost civilizations. Needless to say, for a history buff like me, this game was...
