I’ve played legacy of cain series since 1998 yup PS1 and I can say that this is the best installment on all the cain series the plot was wonderful, but I advice player to play from legacy of cain blood omen 1,2 and legacy of cain soul reaver 1,2 before playing this one to get the full story line on the game. :)spoiler “can’t wait for the next installment/ending?”
When I first loaded up Legacy of Kain: Defiance the first thing that struck me was how good everything looked, in fact, I have never seen a PS2 game that looked better. More detail, more objects with more polys and better textures than either Soul Reaver 2 or Blood Omen 2. Soul Reaver 2 I consider the best game I have ever played on the Playstation- and I was hoping that Defiance would carry the quality of story and unforgettable voice acting to the next level, and while Michael Bell and Simon Templeton (Raziel and Kain’s voice actors), are clearly at the top of their form, Crystal Dynamics decided to scale back the story in favor of more action. I had mixed feelings about that because it sounded as though they were dumbing down the franchise in favor of more glitz. They haven’t- the revamped combat system includes several new maneuvers and special abilities that really go a long way to making Defiance is a more exciting experience and I’m betting many fans of the older games might like the fact that the 10 minute cut scenes with all their flowery dialog are gone. To be sure the story is deep as it carries on after the events in SR2- 500 years after and begins with Kain infiltrating the Sarafan stronghold to confront Moebius while Raziel has spent the past five centuries in the underworld. Raziel has discovered that his destiny is to be the spirit that will inhabit the Soul Reaver blade and this understandably has him a little upset. The core theme of Defiance is simply that-.
Good timing and quality!
Surprized to receive today, & quite content. No Problems whatsoever. The product was in great shape & came thru clear on player. Have played Kain for years , the center circle broke on mine And was surprised to find it at all.
Before, in the Legacy of Kain games, there was always something to complain about. In Blood Omen, the controls were stocky and the graphics weren’t exactly the best. In Soul Reaver, half of the game’s quests(Glyphs) were pointless, and the battle system was a little blocky. In Soul Reaver 2, there were no boss fights and it was much too short a game. In Blood Omen 2, the battle system was awkward and the enjoyment of the story and puzzles was diminished. Now, in Legacy of Kain: Defiance, Crystal Dynamics has finally put everything together for what is quite possibly the best game of the year. The battle system has been totally revamped to resemble an improved, yes improved, version of Devil May Cry. If you thought you could do some sick juggles in DMC, Defiance will blow your mind. The graphics, as always, are excellent, and the voice acting and music is top tier in the business. Two major criticisms of the game are the lack of a map and camera problems. First of all, I think it was silly for game websites to complain about this, since Devil May Cry had the same problems, and they managed to see past them. The fact is that if you are used to controlling Raziel, then the camera will have no effect at all on your skills. I never had the situation arise where I was put at a disadvantage in battle due to the camera, and if you have any skill at all in action games it won’t bother you either. The lack of a map is purely opinion. I personally think it adds to the atmosphere, and tr.
Speaking as a true fan of the series, I loved this game. I only wish it could have been longer. I also wish they would have kept the standard third person camera angles. Kain the THE ultimate bad a**, and raziel is pretty cool too. The voice acting ( as with the whole series) is top notch, better than 98% of anything you will see in a movie. I say to Eidos, keep them coming, never end the Kain series, it will never be as lame as metroid, zelda, or megaman.
great
Nothing much has changed in the land of Nosgoth as of late. But, one thing is evident, this ain’t your same ol’ Legacy of Kain game. Defiance redefines the series with its’ new combat system and ‘Devil May Cry/Castlevania:Lament of Innocence’ camera-style. Those two things, alone, add so much more depth to things that I hope they keep them for future installments. Admittedly, the camera could use a lil more polish in areas where the environment stands in your way but, for the most part, it works. Working in chapters and following them alternately through their quest, the story begins with Kain hunting down Moebius for answers and, then, with Raziel trying to find his way out of the Spectral Realm. Those expecting another game filled with more questions than answers will be genuinely surprised. This game answers every question you’ve had since Soul Reaver 1. So, you definitely know who’s friend or foe in this installment. Sadly, though, with that apparent-it would seem as though the series is drawing to a close. Rest assured, though, it’s not. It’s just bringing this saga to a close and readying us for the next. One thing most LOK fans know is the storyline of Kain, Raziel, and Nosgoth is Epic.I’ll have to agree with the majority on this one. This is the best Legacy of Kain installment yet. One not to be missed by the masses.
First off I want to state that I am a LoK fanatic. It’s probably my favorite series of games period. So with that information, you could make a good argument to take my review with a grain of salt. Though I will try to be objective, I just love the series so much that I sometimes put on rose-colored glasses when it comes to flaws in the series. Heck, I found a way to enjoy Blood Omen 2, and it was far from spectacular.I also want to thank Crystal Dynamics for not “dumbing down” this latest installment. I can admit that the LoK series has always been a bit of a nitch series. It’s not an easy series to just jump into without having some knowledge of previous games. Sure, they do give you some of the background in the instruction manual, but that hardly keeps you up to date with what is going on. And with that, CD and Eidos could have just made this an action/adventure game in the LoK world, with familiar characters and locations. Thankfully, they did not. They kept the driving force behind the LoK series going, and that my friends is the storyline. The best voice acting I have ever witnessed in games, combined with an incredible sweeping storyline that spans 5 games is what makes us fans of the series go nuts when a new one is on the way.And that’s why I find it upsetting to see when people either complain that the story is either too difficult to understand, or they give you the totally wrong idea of what the storyline is. I am not one to give away storyline in a r.
I think this is the very last in the Series it is also a Great game it gives the closing story line of Legacy of Kain and soul Reaver this is also a must own.
