Blood Omen 2 puts the player in the role of a Vampire known from the famous "Soul Reaver" game. In this game you see this Vampire in his youth and you learn more about his past. After your resurrection you are weak and your powers have all but remained in your sleep. This is a great experience for the player because he acquires new powers through the game and the prosperity of Kain is very visible making you able to do many new things like control minds, make enormous jumps and much more... These features make the game play even more complex and interesting. Apart from this abilities you get on the way, lets not forget the great combat that this game offers. The controls can get a bit messy but as you play you get used to them and you become a great fighter.This is really necessary for the player because of the difficult bosses you fight as you play. But the harder, the better I say! After resting your fingers after a difficult boss the enemies become as easy as pie and you become pleased watching yourself killing those unexperienced fencers with a few deadly blows. All this wrapped in beautifully graphics! What more do you need???
OH YOU DO NEED MORE?! Read on- ha ha ha
Besides all these interesting features, this game doesn't represent a hack and slash game. Although the puzzles could be easy still there are many moments where you stop and think, so like "Soul Reaver", I would also put this game in the action adventure type. The story is great and it's compatible with all kinds of people FANS or NONFANS who just bought the game because of the nice cover- ha ha ha...
Still I would recommend this game as a must play and a must have in your home collection. It will never grow old and you could always enjoy it ...
So start running in the endless nights... Everything was yours, it can be once again.
