Its probably for the best that Peter Cushing has already popped his clogs, because he really wouldnt like Blood Omen 2. Not only do you play the bad guy, but the vampires in the Legacy of Kain series are more likely to talk you to death than get around to chewing on your jugular. Blood Omen 2 is a sequel to the okay-ish original, whose greatest claim to worthiness is that it spawned two much higher quality spin-offs, in the form of Soul Reavers One and Two. The original Blood Omen was a top-down, 2-D, vaguely Zelda-esque action RPG that sold pretty much on the fact that you were the baddie and could run around drinking innocent peoples vital fluids. This new game has the same concept but because everythings now in 3-D it comes across as nothing more than a poor mans Soul Reaver 2. Despite the fact that theres just as much combat in this game as Soul Reaver youre saddled with a very sluggish control system and the puzzles have been made much less interesting--90% of them involve pulling switches. The game is also incredibly linear and the graphics, although quite detailed in places, really dont show off the power of the Xbox. Although its the first Legacy of Kain title on the Xbox its hard to not recommend that you just play Soul Reaver 2 on a mates PS2 instead. If you really cant do without a bit of 3-D Xbox vampire fun, Buffy the Vampire Slayer looks a much better bet. -- David Jenkins |

Xbox S-Video Cable

S-Video connection is essential if you demand the highest quality image from your XBox (or any console). This lead will provide crystal clear high definition images that the composite lead simply cannot. Seeing is believing...
