Bought it a couple of days ago, beat it yesterday. now playing through it a second time.
Must say that I am glad I bought it but a bit dissapointed at the story (it doesn't end with this game, it leaves so many loose ends you just want to cry. How long untill the next game?? A year, two years?? AAAARGH!!!) the game engine, graphics and the cool abilities the characters has placed this game on my favourite list.
The telekinetic powers that Kain has is kickass, you fling your opponents at spikes and torches that sits on the walls or throw them down cliffs. When you learn to combine it with physichal attacks it becomes a true bloodbath.
Raziel is quick and fun to fight up close with. His Telekinetic powers is a bit less advanced than Kains (at least in the first 3/4 of the game) but just as fun to combine into physical attacks as Kains.
The voice acting was a good but at some portions it was a bit overplayed and at some points it even became boring to listen to their rambling. Overall it was a good performance though.
The story did not unfold the way I hoped it would, but it still holds very high quality giving you your fair share of "Huh?'s" and "WTF?'s". It unfolds slowly in the beginning of the game but soon picks up pace and the ending leaves you a bit pissed since you want to know what happends next.
The scenery is stunning but becomes a bit boring after a while, lot's of repeat entries into rooms you already visited with the other character, reuse of textures, at some points it even becomes uninspired. But still it is a beautifull game to play through.
Overall I'll give it 7/10, a good buy.
Hope this was helpfull.
