Reviewed by: CNET Staff
When it was released in 1997, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain delivered "a wicked good time," as one GameSpot reviewer wrote. Unfortunately, the demo doesn't play well with newer machines. You control a young vampire with an aching blood thirst and an all-devouring desire for revenge. Equipped with an edged weapon, you start a dangerous quest to take revenge on your killers and destroy the evil that made you undead. All that sounds promising until you start the game. Poor graphics hide the details, and controlling your character is a chore. The faster your processor runs, the faster the vampire moves. The only changeable settings are music volume and gamma, the latter of which only makes the graphics murkier. Despite eerie sound effects and superb voice acting, the game is unplayable on a modern computer. Blood Omen had its day in the sun--err, dark--but now gamers should let Kain rest in peace.Publisher's description
From Crystal Dynamics :As a foolish, headstrong young nobleman, Kain sought gold and glory in the hinterlands of Nosgoth. Ambushed and killed in the village Ziegstruhl by a band of brigands, Kain woke to find himself craving revenge--and the warm richness of blood. To free himself from the curse of being a vampire, Kain must restore the Pillar of Nosgoth and destroy the members of the Circle that dominate the land. Enter the rich, complex world of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, where Kain must do battle with his sword, solve puzzles, and suck blood to save an ailing land and rid it of its oppressors.

"Dated graphics, but nice...!"
Pros: I rather liked this game. It moved almost too quick (muhahaha) and the voice acting is superb. "VAE VICTUS!"
It's real fun and has an overhead view that is very pretty.
Cons: I had to do a few things to make it work on XP. To get it to work, get Winzip, have an empty folder ready and copy the location. Now right-click the installer and go to properties. In it should be something that says 'Compatability'. Check Win 95 and open it. The self-installer/whatever will pop up. Paste in the enpty folder location and click unzip. Now do the right-click thing to the main program that you just got and make sure to read the readme with it for controls. Enjoy. The demo ends when you die.
