 very much underrated game May 25, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
man i just beat this game today, and it ROCKS!. i'm not a hardcore fan of this series but i'll give this game its due. i only played blood omen2(which was very excellent) and soul reaver1(which was o.k). i didn't even play SR2 but i understood defiance totally. i highly recommend playing blood omen2 and SR1(both of which are under 8 dollars) before you hop on this game.
story: i'll give it a 8/10 becuase sometimes the story can get a still sidetrack.
grahics: i'll give it a 9/10. the voice acting is awesome, the character models are solid throughout the whole game.
gameplay: i'll give it a 8/10. the game is not hard to control between kain and razel.
over all i'll give this awesome game a 8 1/2 out of 10. this is the most underrated game i've seen in a while. yeah the camera angle is a little different, but trust me its not anything to cry about. i had this game twice(xbox and ps2) the first time around i hated the camera angle so i didn't give it time of day. but the 2nd time around i fell it love with it. also this is not a walk in the park game, this game is long, real long. injoy
 Awesome ending to a spectacular series, but is it the end? September 24, 2005
Leagcy of Kain: Defiance was a spectacular game. I've had the chance to follow the games and what happens in this one makes all the mysterious things in every other game make so much sense. The team that made this game is genious. The way the story follows perfectly the timelines and how each thing effected outcomes in other games blew me away. It was a satisfying out come which left a few questions unanswered. Will there be another chapter in this amazing series, I don't know but I hope there is.
The Game:
Game play and graphics were fairly good. It did take me a while to get used to the point of veiw that the game was played in. For those who have played all of the previous games it was always shown from the back of the character seeing all that was in front of him, in this game it is totally different. Different angles are used as you go through the game and it can get confusing at times, and even hard. I personally had trouble guaging jumps or if I was in the right place to hit enemies. Other than that, the game runs smoothly and, other than the minor directional movement problems that occur due to the different camera angles, navigates smoothly.
If you have all the other games and don't have this one get it. It will be worth your money and time. If you don't have any of the games I suggest investing in the Legacy of Kain series and enjoy the experience.
 A step backwards from its predecessor, but still good September 23, 2005

This is the latest (but hopefully not last) game in the Legacy of Kain Series. It is also the only game in which you get to play both Kain and Raziel.
I was really excited about this game at first, hearing they had revamped the combat system, about the only thing not great from the previous games. The actual result was only really a slight improvement.
They modeled it after Devil May Cry (A game near and dear to my heart), but its execution was not good. There are more camera issues with this game than almost any I've played previously. Too many times did I find the camera looking at the corner of a passageway while I'm busy fighting on the other side of it. What little control over the camera you have is useless; instead of rotating around the point of interest (ie, your character) it rotates on its own position. So instead of swinging around the corner so i can actually see Raziel, it looks in the other direction.
The style in general worked well in Devil May Cry (though I recall less camera issues in that game), but that game had an emphasis on nearly equal melee & ranged combat. When enemies were offscreen, you could at least shoot at them. This game has some ranged capabilities (telekenesis or TK), its not something you can use too much of.
I will admit though that using Kain's TK to throw enemies off a bridge, onto a spike, or just pull them closer was suprisingly fun.
That said, when the camera was working correctly, battles were slightly more interesting and frenzied than in previous games, but they also became frustrating sometimes. Also, the game's attempts at bosses (ghosts of previous pillar gaurdians) were extremely lame.
Graphics-wise, the game is pretty good. Kain and Raziel both look great, and little things like Kain's mist-form looked suprisingly good. The lighting/shadowing was particularly well done.
Plot wise, the game is good, but nowhere near the greatness of any of the previous games (except maybe Blood omen 2). The pacing drags, and it seems a little forumlaic. Also, while the voice acting is top-notch as usual for this series, the dialogue seemed to suffer a bit; it was a little over the top in some places (the lines and words themselves, not the acting).
The game gets better near the end, and many people will probably prefer it than to the end of the Soul Reaver games. This one leaves off with a definite "To be continued..." feel, but doesn't leave you with a Cliff-Hanger or with a feeling of unfulfilment.
If u love vampires....... July 27, 2005

god did i love this game. but then again i was always a big fan of the lok games. some beter than others but this one is definetly the best lok game in the entire series. The game gives u deversity in worlds. And of course Raziel and Kain look as good as ever. My personal favorite being Raziel. Even though the two do basically the same thing they do it in their own ruthless way. So if u love vampires pick this one up.... or else! (just kidding!)
CRUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will eat your blood and soul! February 15, 2005

ok i AM a real vampire and dracula geek and when I saw this game I knew I could not denie my two favorite vampires locked together in one game.The graphics are cool. you get to weeken your enemys but the reviewer was right the bad guys are easy to deafeat and they are not realy bad. You get to weeken them and either impale them on your weapon or bite into their flesh like a good vampire should.
