Wow, this game genuinely feels like a blast from the past! The Dreamcast version of Legacy Of Kain; Soul Reaver, is practically the definitive version of the game! Mostly, because not only do the textures look better, but the game is at a locked 60FPS. The gameplay itself is a bit dated, but not enough to break immersion, or take you out of the game. My main gripe, is that the camera feels a bit too claustrophobic & it can sometimes give you a sense of vertigo. I do wished they'd set the camera back a bit. Other than that, this is a great addition to ANYONE'S gaming library & definitely a solid port of a great game!

i still haven't beaten this game, so maybe i shouldn't be writing this revue, but whatever. this game is as squirmywurmy said, HUGE! i can't tell you how many times i've gotten lost (would it be so much to ask for a map?!) the premise of this game is great: it's been a millenia (give or take?) since kain conquered the earth, and his children all have their own territories. you play as raziel, who had the audacity.. the UNMETIGATED GALL! to receive the gift of wings before kain. so you got them suckers RIPPED OFF, and you're thrown into the lake of whatchamacallit. then the ancient one resurrects you, as his SOUL REAVER. you eat souls for BREAKFAST. souls in the mornin' souls in the evenin' souls at suppertime.. when souls are on a bagel you can eat souuuls anytime! sorry.. i couldn't help myself.. anywho, you run around killing vampires and sucking their souls, figuring out puzzles, gaining new powers for your soul reaver (fire, ...other stuff?) and you can choose to either help or mutilate the humans. you can also 'sip' on their souls to slightly refill your life. lots of weapons to use, tons of areas to explore.. but this sequel pales in comparison to blood omen (in my opinion). buuuut, that game was a classic.. it's not a very realistic expectation to hope to surpass that game. still, this game is a semi-classic, totally worth picking up it'll give you hours upon hours of bloody satisfaction!

I originally owned & played it on a PlayStation. I got a hdmi adapter for a Dreamcast, & played it again after receiving the game. I liked it when it 1st was released, & still like it today.

Possibly one of the best game's that has ever been made, just like the Legend of Zelda, these kind of games are dark horror based and has the gore and the blood to show for it. Unlike Normal Vampire games, this is possibly one of the most Complex and the greatest games that has been to be made. Soul Reaver, you play has a Vampire named Raziel and through the game you gain unique abilities that allow you to help you on your quest to defeat Kain. Th villain that took your life and your wings. This is an amazing game that is dark and very creepy. Released on Dream cast and Play-Station this is possibly on of the best releases of 1998. Creepy, dark, horrific, gory. Yes. This is one classic game that you should not miss out on. Get this game and play it over and over again. Get this game, play the game and become the Reaver of SoulsRead full review
Not as good as the PS1 but, still a great game.
