400 years have passed since the vampire Kain damned the world in the original Blood Omen, choosing to rule the world in damnation rather than die for its salvation. Now Kain, who once controlled the land of Nosgoth with his vampire armies, finds his brethren slain and his dark powers stripped by a mysterious figure. To reclaim his rule and exact his vengeance, Kain must dispatch armies of zealot soldiers and overcome legions of demons in order to uncover the ominous plot that threatens the land he seeks to conquer.
Blood Omen 2, the second instalment in the Legacy of Kain Series, is a 3rd person 3D action/combat game in which you assume the role of the vampire Kain. A compelling story takes you through huge, lushly detailed 3D environments and challenges your skills in combat, puzzle solving, stealth and exploration. With each success, you’ll gain new dark gifts that will grant Kain the ability to access treacherous new areas to explore and the power to face stronger, more aggressive enemies. As you develop a stronger, more skilled vampire, you’ll be rewarded with dozens of dazzling in-game cinematic sequences that unfold the continuing epic of Nosgoth, and Kain’s attempts to ultimately rule over it.
Move through crowds unseen cloaked in stealth, travel stories above the peasant herds on which you feed leaping from rooftop to rooftop, and use mind-control on hapless fools to help you overcome vampire-proof inventions.
Unleash your wrath in a lushly detailed, blood-chilling gothic environment that is not only gorgeous to the eye, but also alive with the soon to be dead.
Beautifully choreographed combat with surgical precision as you engage armies of demons and humans alike.
My rating on this is not for the game itself. I love this game. I have many fond memories of playing it in my younger days. That's why I decided to buy it the moment I spotted it on GoG. Why the bad rating then? It doesn't work. I tend to praise GoG to everyone I know and I still do, but they screwed up big time on this one. When I can get it to start, it'll run about 30 seconds at most before it CtDs. If you got it to work, I envy you, but for Windows 7, I wouldn't trust this one to function.
With this being my favorite game from the gamecube era, I bought it on sale for $0.97 But apparently that is also the quality I paid. On first launch it tells me there is an error with my graphics drivers, then proceeds to give me a list of numbers and dimensions I dont fully understand, only for it to never get to the title screen. I watch the opening developer cards then it freezes up to about a fram a minute.
On the boss battle with Sebastian when you have to mind trick the guard to flip the switch for me he just sands there and does not/cannot move and keeps repeating the same audio over and over I am windows 8 pro by the way.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
