    Good to see the users rate this game what it should be. Yet again the "critics" are way off base. Funny how there are whole lot of games out there were everyone likes it but the "critics" do not. That's why i like this site, although, is that you get to see what real people are saying with honest reviews. As for myself, I love this game. Fond memories, the story is good, game playGood to see the users rate this game what it should be. Yet again the "critics" are way off base.

Fond memories, the story is good, game play mechanics are wanting but charming at the same time. Such a satisfying feeling you get from the sound of drinking the blood of your enemies lol.… Expand

    I played this game a few year back but have very fond memories of it. Awesome fun sneaking through the fog and ripping the hearts out of the enemy! Story line and voice acting are iconic for me. Would love to see a sequel on some modern hardware. I don't think he metacritic score is a fair rating of this game.

    The original Blood Omen was a wonderful game, this one is wonderfully tedious. The level based play is the same thing over and over, and the fighting isn't even as good as Soul Reaver. Skip this piece of bile and play the original.

    I thought the story was grat, to understand it more you should play THE LEgacy of Kain: Soul Reaver games.

    Sucking blood gets too repetitive, otherwise game has some cool mechanics and fun to play. Liked the gameplay much more than SR2

    this is indeed a quality game! It has a very good gameplay, a lot of graphic violence, bodies don't disappear (I love that), really cool supernatural powers like super jump and invisibility

    Not only did it make me sit and play it every spare moment I had until completion, it also made me want to pick up "Soul Reaver" and play it through again.

    Even with the ordinary combat and rather tedious puzzles, Blood Omen 2 still manages to be compelling enough to keep you playing to the end, which is a testament to the overall presentation and varied locales.

    Controls are rather stiff and PC-like, giving you less maneuverability than desired.
