The masterpiece is finally out. Are there any fans around here? If so, what do you think of the game?
Personally, I think the camera angles aren’t exactly helpful. In fact they can make you fail jumps between platforms too many times. The graphics are awesome, and Kain and Raziel are at their best. The changes in the combat system make things easier than in the Soul Reaver games, with a nice touch that reminds me of Dynasty Warriors. The Reaver enhancements are cool, and the special moves are great, although they’re not as easy to perform as the instructions say. Telekinesis is a great addition. Who doesn’t love lifting enemies into the air, Jedi-style and throwing them around? >:)
The plot is great, as usual, and this time around, the Reaver forges aren’t stuffed with so many frustrating puzzles.
I loved watching Moebius getting his butt kicked again, as well as being free from that annoying Reaver meter from Soul Reaver 2, which limited the blade’s use. The addition of Reaver spells was a good idea, and they make up for the Glyphs from Soul Reaver 1, which were removed from the plot.
I hate you, and everyone else who now owns this game, more than you can possibly comprehend.

Less than a month to wait now.:yipee:
6th Feb on PS2. It’s another couple of months after that before it’s out on PC I think.
I played the PS2 version. It was just great, but way too short. It also had that damn camera problem.
On the plus side, it also had the most satisfying cutscene ever. Mobius is revived by the Elder God, killed by the future Kain, sent back to the Elder God’s chamber, implaed by the wraith blade, and sees what his master looks like mere seconds before Raziel consumes him.
