Blood Omen 2
This game is extremely under-estimated and under-rated. The graphics are great, especially the Fog and mist effects. I'm going to get to the bad points right away. First of all, The gameplay isn't balanced. With the 'Dark Gift' powers, You must gain rage by blocking attacks to use them. While your Enemies can use an unblockable attack at any time they want. Which is frustrating, Although there are many checkpoints, when you're playing you will feel a taste for more. Now there are many good things about this game, I started playing it and couldn't put it down for a few days. It's very innovative and you feel like an actual Vampire, especially from the feeling you get when you cover yourself in Mist, and go up behind an unsuspecting Foe and snap his neck with your bare hands, And then suck his blood. There are a variety a Weapons, from Swords, to Axes, to Spears, and even the Soul Reaver. Which is recognizable from the previous Legacy of Kain series. The fighting is great. There are many combos and cool magic spells you can use to destroy your Enemies, but you can't over use them. Which makes the game tougher to beat. The story is pretty amazing.. The stories in Soul Reaver and Blood Omen 1 weren't as innovative, but this one really shines. Also, because you can't skip any cut-scenes, so it basically makes you pay attention to the Story.

Good points: - Great sword gameplay and Mist steath kills.
- Innovative story
- No loading, At all, Never! (I'm serious)
- Good replay value

Bad points: - Not very long (11 levels)
- Bad guys are hard to kill

Plexperating: - I don't want to wait so long for the Soul Reaver!
