Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Take Tomb Raider and mix in a bit of sorcery, and you get Legacy of Kain. The 3D adventure game provides a solid mix of arcade action and brain-tickling puzzles, though finding the good stuff requires an excessive amount of exploring. The battle sequences are especially entertaining once you've acquired a few special powers. Although the game certainly isn't the most graphically complex, the art direction and color schemes of the "spiritual realms" are definitely unique. Lara Croft fans might find the puzzle sections a bit easy, but Kain's unique look makes it a solid 3D adventure game.Publisher's description
From Crystal Dynamics :In Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, you play Raziel, stalking the world of Nosgoth and feeding upon the souls of your enemies as you seek to destroy your creator, Kain. Battle five clans of vampires as you explore a vast 3D world tainted by a vampire dynasty's rule.
Uncover the mysteries of Nosgoth and your own twisted past as you explore a dangerous 3D world. See a real-time environment morphing as you shift between the material and spectral realms. Master complex puzzles with your unprecedented ability to interact with objects. Suffer the consequences of your actions: Nonplayer characters remember your actions and treat you accordingly. Experience a grim Gothic story supported by full-motion animation, in-game cinematic events, and compelling voice-over. Engage in deadly hand-to-hand combat as you make full use of weapons, acquired spells, and the surrounding environment
