Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Strengths: A good old fasion hack 'n' slash with futuristic upgrades.

Weakness: can be a little repetitive. but that's what a hack 'n' slash is.

I really like this game considering it's a hack 'n' slash. But don't take my word for it. Buy it from rotten tomatoes, There selling for a lot cheaper then you'll find it any where else. And no I am not working for rotten tomatoes.

Legacy of Kain Defiance

Strengths: Fun action-adventure game with intriguing combat system and deep story, excellent graphics

Weakness: Camera problems

Legacy of Kain Defiance is an action-adventure game where you take control of 1 of 2 characters and progress through a fairly linear story. It is a mix of combat and puzzle solving, though with more emphasis on the combat. The combat is deep and engaging. The story is decent and would probably make more sense to someone who played the previous games (I hadn't). The graphics are excellent for a...

Pretty good gothic style fun

Strengths: Very good graphics, solid action gameplay. Good voice overs and music/soundtrack.

Weakness: Somewhat confusing storyline. Spotty camera issues at times. A bit linear, could branch out more.

Alright, so I have to admit even though I've heard of this Kain series before, I have never played any of the previous titles, so I suppose getting a bit lost and confused in the storyline of the game is to be expected, but to the game's defense, it was still pretty decent, even with all the plot holes because of my lack of knowledge of prior storylines from the preceeding games. Okay, that out...

Legacy of Kain : Defiance

Strengths: Nice graphics. Fun hack and slash play. Good Storyline

Weakness: Bad camera angles and repetative

Having been a fan of the series since Soul Reaver for the PSX. The hack and slash aspect has not changed. The things that have changed is the awesome graphics. The environment sets the mood. The characters are detailed. The camera angle is less to be desired. If your a fan of the series, you'll love this.

Good fighting game

Strengths: Quick and fun

Weakness: Repetitive

Besides for the repetitiveness and sometimes bad camera angles, the game is very fun to play. It has solid fighting and the game is fun to beat although it gets boring sometimes.

The series finally concludes

Strengths: Great storyline, excellent combat system.

Weakness: The camera angle can definately get annoying at times.

Legacy of Kain: Definace does what I've been waiting for through now 5 titles- it brings together the entire story which has become more and more confusing as time went on. In the previous games you played as either Kain or Raziel and when the game concluded, there were more questions than answers. Now that Defiance is here, all those questions can be answered. But besides the excellent...

The best of two worlds

Strengths: + the conclusion of a very deep storyline + mostly nice graphics

Weakness: - easy to get lost in story and during gameplay. - horrible, fixed camera

Legacy of Kain: Defiance is the last part of a long series of games from Eidos - the Soul Reaver series and Blood Omen series. As expected (since there were a total of 4 games before this one) the story is very deep. There are text summaries to get you up to speed with everything that has happened so far, but they are a bit overwhelming and the font is very small. Luckily there is also the intro...

Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Strengths: Hack and slash to the max - Very similar to Soul Reavers and Blood Omen

Weakness: Nothing exceedingly unique to the series

I've always been a fan of the Legacy of Kain series since playing the original Soul Reaver. After that, I've played it's sequel and the Blood Omen 2 game. Soul Reaver deals with Raziel, and Blood Omen you play Kain. In both games, they have been somewhat of enemies/nemesis but never sure how they fit together. In Defiance, you play both characters, as they struggle to SAVE the WORLD (a tired...
