User Rating: 9 | Legacy of Kain: Defiance PC
Another biased, groundless review from Gamespot. Its garbage reviews like this that make me want to revoke my membership. Don't listen to a word they said in this review...this is an outstanding game. Playing as both Kain and Raziel is joy. Though they control the same, and get the same types of special moves, they are ultimately different characters. The Reaver powers they gain set them apart from one another, and in terms of gameplay, Kain is the overall powerhouse in combat, and his game is more combat/key finding, where Raziel is considerably weaker than Kain and his game relies mostly on puzzle solving. There are many questions of the past games, such as Blood Omen, and Soul Reaver 1 & 2, answered and explained, however some things, such as Vorador's presence in Blood Omen 2, and most Blood Omen 2 questions, remain unanswered. The game's combat and core gameplay are much, much better than Blood Omen 2 and Soul reaver 2, whose combat offerings were completely mediocre. The story in this game is outstanding, with excellent voice acting and so many twists and turns that your jaw will be dropped in awe. This is one of the best games to come out in a while...screw the Gamespot review, play this excellent game for yourself.
