![]() ![]() always something to kill, a new ability or weapon to be found, and with the day/night system, there's always a new place to explore (some areas are only open during a full moon, which seldom comes along). The cut-scenes are like superglue for your eyeballs, not a dull moment in this game WHATSOEVER. you'll meet many MAAANY characters along the way (most of whom are out for your blood) but you'll also come across a kindred spirit in VORADOR! (who, by all rights, should have had his own spin-off by now) werewolf (my favorite =D), bat (used to easily traverse the world of nosgoth), human form, and mist. You gain new ablities to morph into not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different forms. did i mention the ability to shape-shift? OF COURSE I DIDN'T! STUPID JON STUPID STUPID STUPID *smacks myself* this game kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. one by one, the circle of the nine will fall to your unrelenting bloodlust! the worlds are huge, th e enemies are fierce, the controls are precise (though there is some occasional slowdown to be found), the environments are BEAUTIFUL, and the varied gameplay and puzzles are never dull or tedious. You'll aquire more weapons and projectiles and spells than you can shake a mace at. left for dead chained atop a volcano, the necromancer mortanius offers him a deal - life, in exchange for murdering those who murdered him. You play as kain, a nobleman traveling from distant coorhagen who, upon exiting a tavern (friggin' lush!) is fell upon by many assassins for unknown reasons. this is the only game that i can beat, and start right over from the beginning with the enthuisiasm of playing it for the first time. ![]() this game got played to death(hardyharhar) on my playstation years ago. I hope this review helps someone :) Read full reviewĬLASSIC. However, I have played this game 3 times from start to finish myself, and I can assure you that once every year, you will get the itch to replay it. ![]() And you are right, as with most games of this type, there really is no point in replaying it once you get everything and finish the game. And considering it's very cheap right now, it's actually to your best interest to buy it.Īfter everything is done, you might think that this game is not worth playing anymore. So I would vote for buying, rather than renting it. This game is Definitely a game you need to add to your collection. Taking into consideration the amazing gameplay, voice overs, and fmvs I have to give it a 10/10 for value. This is a LONG game, and it's very very fun. This part was also graded based on the quality of the background compared to its time period. And I am not grading this part on how the norm looks like now, but as far as the quality of this graphics for when it was first released.īackgrounds 9/10: The backgrounds were great, and that is a great plus, with a game which will involve a lot of exploration. And you will thoroughly enjoy them even if you watch them today.Ĭharacter Design 8/10: The character and enemy designs are very well done for their time. This game has some of the best voice actings done on a game to this date.įMVs 9/10: The FMVs where way ahead of its time. If just for the amazing voice acting I have to give this category a 10. Also I would like to note that the character develpment is done very well. But suffice it to say it will keep you glued and playing till you finish it. The plot is not a simple plot, twisting and turning at various points. The story is great!!! And the game uses excellent narration and FMVs to tell the story. So for that reason I will say the difficulty level is about a 7/10. As for getting all the secrets, it needs a trained eye. All gamers at all skill levels can basically finish this game. You have your basic kill the enemy, find items, solve puzzles, kill bosses, and exploration.Įverything about the controls is great, however I would have to give it a 9/10 because of the insanely long loading times to pull up the inventory menu. The game has a couple of different aspects. This in itself adds an immense amount of depth to this game. The game itself includes many FMVs, and tons of narration that is done through voice overs. However getting everything is a TON of fun. But you could finish the game without it being at 100%, meaning you don't have to get all the secrets to finish the game. The game itself is vast, and the more you uncover, the higher your percentage of completion would be. You also have a variety of abilities, items, armor, and weapons to play it. You can enlarge them by getting certain items. By the time I wsa done with it, this game was one of my all time favorite video games.īlood Omen is a semi-rpg/adventure game. I put the disc in, and immediately got reeled into the game. The first time I played this game was when it was released.
