 better story than play, but still a Great Game October 26, 2006
this game has a good storyline, puzzle solving, really great background music, an incredible sense of atmosphere, sardonic humor, and a lotta lotta lotta blood and GORE. However it can get repetative and it is GRAPHIC, particularly the eternal prison. (i get queasy when forced to drink from the s-ders). there is also no way to skip dialogues if you dont want to watch them over and over. It also wasn't as challenging as it could have been (although some levels in the middle are tough) but the blocking options can spice things up a bit. that's why this game gets a 4 overall, because it's not as challenging as it coulda been, and because the gameplay can get a little dry. but it's still a great game: the storyline saves it from being a one time play, the blocking options saves it from being too easy, and it has a pretty decent shock and disturb factor too-which is really its crowning glory as a game.
(Also, i would HIGHLY recommend you check out Soul Reaver 2 from the legacy of kain series, its totally addicting.)
 Rather Disappointing September 22, 2005

The storyline seems to connect in only the loosest of ways to the rest of the Legacy of Kain series, the gameplay tends to get a bit repetetive and YES, the software is full of weird, often annoying glitches - both in terms of polygon collision detection and in terms of the audio
(the frequency with which a Serafan guard's corpse and a much needed fresher weapon will disappear into a wall after you've killed them will annoy the crap out of you and the occasional death grunt of a victim caught in an audio loop and repeatedly playing like a chipmunk chirp for 10 minutes will totally kill the dark and sinister mood that the level where it happens)
Besides Simon Templeman's voice acting as Kain, the only other thing i genuinely liked about this game was the perverse thrill i got in my sick and twisted little black heart from the stealth kills and any of the kills in which i seized my prey by the throat and let them plead for their lives before finishing them off
because, sometimes, i'm evil like that
Blood Omen2-The part vampire, part human, part crap game March 25, 2004

This game was a great game. I rented it and played it for the 2 days I rented it as a new release. I had just met the seer and had to return it. Then I walked next door and bought it at Wal*Mart. BIG Mistake. It seems the copy at blockbuster was the golden copy. After that the rest of the game is glitchy and bad voice over. There is no replay value. You get frustrated by the bad combat control.By the way, every boss is a puzzle fight. It's always hit hit, flip switch, throw into steam. Do that 3 times and the boss is dead. Rent this game.(Note:My copy was not a glitchy copy. I wnet to my friends house and played his blood omen 2. same thing. also wasn't the playstation2 either)
Good Game... but doesn't follow storyline January 27, 2004

now unless Vorador's death is explained in defiance2 that is one big error, for all those who do not know, in Blood Omen Vorador dies at the hands of the Saraphan whilst Kain was on his quest to revive the pillars... and this game takes place sum 600 years later (400 years after blood omen was the war and 200 years after that is Kain's awakining)The Game is fun to play, with all of the cast from the previous games coming back to voice over. I was actually expecting to see Kain raise Raziel in this game, but i was left in the dark, alot of questions about kain's past is still left un answered... this games is really a filler story to the actual one of Legacy of Kain, and therefore there really isnt that much of one, especally compaired to the others. This game gets only 3 stars, because it just doesn't fit into the Kain continuum...
Not scary as the first one November 27, 2003

I like scary games, 3d game, adventure games, but blood 2 was not as scary as the first one.
I admit that there are better guns, movies, and graphics.
Blood 1 had more monsters, but in blood 2 more cops.
I heard that they wnat to make blood 3, and I hope that this time it will be more funner.
But I addmit it was kind of fun, but ive seen better. :-)
