To put it simply. I am not hardcore into vampires, I am not a goth and most things vampiric these days are more annoying then "cool" in my opinion. So for me to say that Legacy of Kain is by far one of the greatest series of games ever made, is really saying something about the quality that this game puts out. It is an older game, so obviously the graphics are no longer going to impress. However I thought that the way the camera was set up, really set the stage for this game to succeed as greatly as it did. When it comes to the story, I am just truely amazed at the people who wrote the script to this game. It is truely an amazing story. Kain is such an interesting character, and he has many abilities. So many abilities and items and transformations in fact, that I would be willing to wager that present day games don't allow you to do as many things as Kain is able to in this old playstation 1 game. It really gives you the feel of being an amazing Vampire. The character Kain is more of an anti-hero, which is something I think is refreshing, since it isn't seen very often in video games. The game is presented very well, with the start menu where you select your armor/weapons/spells being very well drawn out. This game however shines most in the voice work. Simon Templeman (the voice of Kain) is by far the greatest voice actor ever to work in the business. He even outshines Tim Curry, and with the level of respect I have for Tim Curry, that is saying something indeed. I find that my favorite thing about this game is listening to how the conversations are worded. They present it in an old english sort of way, that really does well for the game. So in closing, if you are looking for a game that is truely amazing, and can appreciate an older game, Legacy of Kain will not disappoint. I am the type of gamer who has such a low attention span for video games, that I usually cant play a game for more then 2 hours before I quit it and never pick it up again. I have beaten Legacy of Kain Blood Omen several times, as well as all the other games in the series, and never find myself growing tired of them. They are just that well made, with the intention of the game developers clearly indicating that they wanted to make very good quality games, over just something to turn a profit.
