    *sigh* The original soul-reaver game was truely a brilliant work. Alas, the sequal, while still making my personal pass mark, did lack the replay value, adventure, and innovation that the previous did have. Fortunately, the ending is much better than before. Man I hate "to be continued" endings.

    Fun plot twists, but gameplay is really constricted and repetitive. Demons suck. Fighting mechanics are dull. Lacks exploration and open world of Soul Reaver 1

    It's well rounded, it's improved in marked areas over its predecessor ("The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver"), and the graphics, sound, and production levels are all high.

    The game also sustains virtually no loading times, despite its faithful recreation of a ambient gothic world. Even with the impressive graphics, the game still runs smooth as silk.

    A textbook example to other console developers on how to write videogame prose.
