Introduction: Eidos brings a mature tale of vampire blood sucking to the consoles with its second Blood Omen game. Kain is back with a some new fangled tricks.
Lowdown:I loved the concept behind this game and i was pumped to have a taste of blood. Too bad this game didn't live up to my expectations. The story was excellent and its good to have a more matured themed games for Xbox.
I found the actual gameplay to be too much of an old rehash of the same standard 3rd person deal. The voice-over's i felt where pretty weak and i also felt that the graphics where below the Xbox standard. The poor production in the graphics, linear gameplay and run of the mill story line makes sick.
I want more, give us more! I know a great vampire game can be made, so lets have it. If they make another Blood Omen title, i hope they try and be more innovate like the first game was on the PC.
