Kain is deified
First of all, if you started the LoK series with Soul Reaver installments, yeah, you might not like it. The game was being created side-by-side with SR1 and 2. Back then, both SR and BO subseries were intended to go in two different directions. Thus, Daniel Cabuco was the main artist on SR subseries and Crystal Dynamics invited Steve Ross, who worked on Chakan: The Forever Man and it's unreleased sequel. Contrary to popular belief this game wasn't based of Chakan 2's engine. Just some of concepts Steve brought along with him. Anyway, the resulting game is very, very different in terms of feel to the rest of the series, While SR subseries eventually tied itself to BO, BO2 is a side-story it was always intended to be. Plus, the story has a couple of holes. Is it a bad game then? Hell no! Gameplay-wise, it's better than SR2, believe it or not. Pretty lengthy gameplay, interesting levels, awesome atmosphere (it's different, but damn, it's good) and a bit reVamped combat system to satisfy your bloodlust. Plus, the boss battles that were nowhere to be found in SR2 are now back with a vengeance and so are cool powers you receive after them. The game is different - don't expect it to be anything like SR subseries in terms of art or story - but it's still good, allowing you to feel like a real vampire.
