Pros: Great atmosphere; excellent story; clever characters and dialogue Cons: Terrible interface; large amount of frame late lag; cumbersome controls The Bottom Line: Blood Omen is a solid action-adventure title that revels in blood and violence, and offers a lot to vampire fans. But it's not without a considerable number of problems. from Shopping.com Looking back on the past 12 years there have been numerous "sequels" to the Blood Omen game. Unfortunately none of these sequels follow the formula of the original great. from Amazon.com Blood Omen is the game that started the all. The Legacy of Kain series has now spawned four following games, the last one 'Defiance' on the Xbox. from Amazon.com Blood Omen 1 is the best out of all the LOK series, save that of Defiance... I was lil traumatized by the ending of Defiance... from Amazon.com I can't believe more people aren't familiar with this Zelda-style game. I love Zelda: Link to the Past, and it turns out Blood Omen is almost as awesome as that game. The fact that the orchestra music is really nice, and the graphics are all dark and gothic, gives the game a perfect touch of adventure and fear. from Amazon.com Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain - Circa 1996 from Amazon.com Legacy of Kain Blood Omen is a testament to world building, mature, dark story telling, visceral art, and good fashioned great gaming. Silicon Knight's debut even almost ten years afterwards still never ceases to amaze. from Amazon.com Any true fan of the Legacy of Kain/ Soul Reaver series must place this game at the top of their list in the series, as not only did this entry set the tone and the pace for the rest of the series, but it was a turning point for well done voice acting incorporated with a twisting and turning plot, which leaves you guessing until the very end. First things first though, this game has some of if not the worst loading times of all time in my honest opinion. from Amazon.com I first heard about this game from a small preview in EGM back in '95 and even though they weren't big on the details I couldn't wait to play it. I got it shortly after it was released and it's remained one of my favorite games. First off the game is almost Grand Theft Auto huge in regards to open ended gameplay. from Amazon.com This game though being made in 1996 and haveing bad graphics is still good game play ever since i played it i have been hooked on the LoK seris a true Fan of the Legacy of Kain seris will know what LoK means This game was the one that started it all with Simon Tempelmen as the voice of kain you journey through the world of nosgoth a some what medieval land full of swords and witchcraft kains blood thristy quest for vengeance takes him through time ( only a little so you time loveing types dont ger your hopes up)but as kain continues his journey he meets a number of colorful charecters Like Moebius the time streamer and mortanius the necromancer and many others i warn you this game contains high levels of blood and gore so it's not wise to let younger childern play it but do anyway they will find vilence on tv might as well let them watch it now you get a arsonal of weapons,armor and spells though being a good game it self its Blood Omen2 was horrible DONT NOT BUY IT!!!!!! it is one of the worst games ever i bought it simply to learn about the story line the i returned it to the store i got it from ^_^ from Amazon.com
