Vampires - in order to kill such an enemy, you first need to beat him to a pulp, and then use one of these options: finish off with sunlight, throw into a pond, throw on thorns, kill with a pole, burn with a torch or in a fire, or use a fire or sun spell.
The combat system in Tradition of Kain: Thief of Souls allows you to use improvised means in the process, for example, torches, spears and thorns and the environment itself. It is based on a hack and slash, and involves the use of finishing blows. The Virtual Universe is open and there are many secrets in it where you can get an increase in health reserves, a game analogue of mana, entire locations where it is hidden, as well as additional spells.
In the process, the protagonist will move from the physical to the spirit world and vice versa, but from the latter, movement is possible only in certain places and with a full scale of health. The user will also have to solve puzzles that are based on the difference between the worlds. By changing the environment or platforms in one of the worlds, a new passage can be opened in the second.
After Raziel steals the awesome Soul Reaver weapon from Kain, he's more than up to the task. The Reaver actually attaches to Raziel's arm like an organic lightsaber, and when he finds special forges, he can upgrade the Soul Reavers potency. Raziel also will be able to build up other powers in several ways. In some locations, he'll find magic Glyphs.
These mystic stones serve as power-ups that enable him to command potent forces such as earthquakes and rings of fire. He'll also steal powers from boss vampires. For example, if a boss climbs up walls or swims underwater as a tactic against you, you'll acquire that ability if you defeat him.
If you're wondering what's going down or rising again in Kain's world, you'll definitely want to play Soul Reaver when it hits the streets in late March. Blood Omen fans and newbies should get ready for a vampires feast that definitely does not suck. It's been a long time coming, but I think it's safe to say that Soul Reaver has been worth the wait.
Mix vampires, Lovecraftian nastiness and Tomb Raider with a sprinkling of comic book fave Spawn and you have a mix that is very compelling. What's most impressive is the incredible design--both to the levels themselves which all stream seamlessly from the CD so there are no load times and to the puzzles which make up the bulk of the gameplay.
From seeing early demos of this, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a runny-jumpy-killy thing with you hopping about, looking mean and nibbling on bad guys. It's not like that though, and in fact the majority of the gameplay comprises of exploration and puzzle solving.
Noteworthy examples of this are the bosses--you don't really kill any of them with real brawn, but instead you'll find yourself solving a puzzle that will lead to their demise. It's all terribly clever stuff, and some of the environment-based puzzles can get very complex.
Fortunately though, they never seem too convoluted. The story is excellent, and it's supplemented by some tremendous performances from the voice actors. Soul Reaver Is truly an impressive video game. The graphics, animation and level design are amazing. The story is told in such a way--by some topnotch voice talent I might add - you can't help but become involved in Raziel's quest. Yeah, the camera gets whacked-out at times, and there's some slowdown, but you'll get past it.
The game's so immersive, you overlook these little problems. If you buy it, be prepared for a game of epic proportions. This monster was really worth the wait--and I do mean monster, it's huge. You'll be playing this until Christmas. The environments are really pretty, lots of rich color and shifting light effects. That and the suspenseful music make quite a freaky atmosphere. Like Akuji, there's a fair amount of unmolested free roaming. You never feel overwhelmed with enemies or hopeless situations.
I agree with John, Soul Reaver is a very tastefully done game. When it came down to it, I had a hard time believing I was actually playing Soul Reaver I've waited and waited, and then waited some more for this game. It lives up to expectations in terms of graphics and presentation, but I wasn't expecting all the puzzle-based gameplay in Kain. It felt like I was playing "Tomb Reaver," having to push all those blocks around.
But you want to know how good the graphics are, don't you Soon, gamers everywhere will be able to see for themselves what all the fuss was about when the game finally hits store shelves next month, courtesy of Eidos Interactive. The events of Soul Reaver take place 1, years after the conclusion of the first game. A vampire apocalypse lead by the evil Kain has transformed the world of Nosgoth, interrupting the cyclical flow of life energy.
The player assumes the role of Raziel, a former lieutenant of Kain's out to restore balance to the universe as well as to wreak revenge against his former master for severely mutilating his body. One of Soul Reaver's most unusual play mechanics is the ability to "shunt" or travel to a parallel Spectral World, a warped mirror-image of Nosgoth. The laws that govern physical reality are vastly different in the Spectral World, allowing Raziel to perform feats he wouldn't ordinarily be capable of.
Only by traveling between the two worlds can Raziel solve some of the game's more perplexing puzzles and ultimately defeat Kain. Unlike Legacy of Kain's protagonist, who fed on the blood of the living, Raziel feeds on the souls of Nosgoth's living dead, which he sucks through the cavity in his deformed face.
Should Raziel run out of this life energy, he is automatically transported to the Spectral World, from which he must find an exit. Soul Reaver's expansive 3D levels spool directly from the disc, eliminating the annoying disc access that plagued the original.
The elimination of save points and inventory screens also should make Soul Reaver one of the most seamless, immersive role-playing experiences to date. A millennium has passed since Blood Omen, when Lord Kain set his capital in the ruins of the Pillars and began his conquest of the world.
By dipping into the underworld and snaring souls, Kain has been able to build a cadre of vampires who have in turn helped him to pillage Nosgoth and subjugate the humans. The vampires revel in their new world and evolve in their powers, Changing into higher forms. Always Kain would Change first, followed a decade or so later by one of his lieutenants, until Raziel had the audacity to evolve first, becoming gifted with wings. For his crimes Raziel has been cast into the Lake of Lost Souls, the execution ground for traitors, burning at the touch of the water.
After a time he could hear a voice through the pain, the voice of something primal, desperate, righteous, ancient.
The Elder had always fed on the souls of Nosgoth, but the vampires had deprived it of sustenance. The Elder offered redemption to Raziel, if he would slay his former brethren and avenge himself against Kain. Let me start off by saying that I will be sending Eidos a bill for the replacement cost of my sidewinder gamepad.
This game made my hands sweat so much that I think I shorted it out. But I guess after sitting in front of the computer for six straight hours playing the game, even the best player would have sweaty fingers. But seriously, Soul Reaver is so addictive that you will lose track of time and you will definitely build up any calluses that you might have on your thumbs.
The game is easy to grasp and even a person without very good eye-hand coordination will be able to pick it up within about 10 minutes. At the very beginning of the game there is a little tutorial on how to do some simple moves.
One of the things that made the game so enjoyable was the fact that I didn't have to memorize 32 combinations to beat the enemies. I can't stand games that make me contort my hands into pretzels while I try to master the double lindy. Do not think that Soul Reaver is just an action, hack and slash game. It also has some really good puzzles in it. They are not as hard as Myst but I found that they could be quite challenging.
If you find that you can't do anything in a level just go into the Spectral world and sometimes the world changes enough for you to figure out what the objective is. I wish I had a quarter for every time my wife told me to go to the Spectral world and that solved the problem I was having. Anybody who has played the Tomb Raider series can tell you that the graphics from Eidos are always cutting edge.
I was simply blown away by how the game looked. Save platforms are separated by as much as a thirty minutes of play, mostly thanks to those unending dialogue sequences. Monster variety is limited, and the game is devoid of the bosses that gave Soul Reaver some of its character. Combat is hack and slash against the same villains, over and over again. You also have to do a lot of backtracking to move the plot along, and your route is often confused by rough textures and recurrent architecture.
As with many second rate movie sequels, Soul Reaver 2 could have benefited greatly from storytelling that was better implemented to its specific play style. The raw materials for a very good game are all here. The original Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was a good game held back from greatness by a terrible ending that simply screamed 'unfinished.
Dropping 'Legacy of Kain' from the title, Soul Reaver 2 is a fun game that builds on some of the strengths of the original, eliminates a few of the weaknesses, and makes a few unfortunate mistakes along the way. The original game is definitely a prerequisite to playing the sequel in terms of getting caught up with the storyline, though not mandatory, as Soul Reaver 2 is good enough to warrant play by itself.
Action begins with Raziel, the hero from the first game chasing his creator Kain through a portal with intent to kill, exactly where the original left off. The overall mission is identical: Kain must die, preferably by Raziel's hands. The straightforward plot has enough twists to provide a gripping story throughout the entire sequel, but, unfortunately, Soul Reaver 2 ends almost as abruptly as its predecessor. Hopes that Crystal Dynamics would draw the story to a conclusion, or at the very least bring closure to the specific chapter, are dashed.
Instead, another cliffhanger is foisted on fans of the game, delaying the inevitable climax that will hopefully appear in the next game of the series.
Gameplay in Soul Reaver 2 strays little from its roots.
