Not what I expected

Im a huge fan of the now forgotten and destroyed Silicon Knights developers. Why? Because of this franchise right here. They turned over the reigns to Eidios after the first title but, I had to give props for them making the foundation for which this title is founded upon. What to expect, a very good story (save for how Kain goes backwords in his abilities, which you find out in the intro so no spoilers), not the best gameplay however, I love most of Kains spells and abilities including stealth kills, and lets face it drinking blood is always fun. I was really hoping for more out Kain but, there is just something special bout him that reminds me of Lestat, the brat prince vampire. I knew when I saw reviews that I was going into something that just didnt bring back his qualities that made him the best vampire character to play on PS. Continuing on, the graphics are just not there. I can see they were trying but, I just didnt feel it. When Raziel became the main character 2 titles prior it just seemed like Eidios just threw this together for fan support. As a story filler. I mean the story takes a huge leap from the first Blood Omen then to Soul Reaver. I guess what it really comes down to is Im a fan of Kain the character and really that is why I give it a 5. Your Kain, a villainous, devious, manipulator of fate, and proof that a coin doesnt have to always land head or tails, it can land on its edge. I hope this review was decent, sorry for rambling, and thanks for your time. Remember game on!
