SHARP TEETH AND EVEN sharper swords: we take a look at the latest chapter in this epic series of vampires and vampire hunters.
Building on previous games in the series, the developers have built an even darker world for gamers to explore. You get to play as one of two powerful vampires. As you progress through the game you will be confronted by ever-more hideous and forboding monsters and vampire hunters.
Gameplay consists of stunning battles using your sword and combo moves, all the while being able to view the action from any angle through a new camera control system. As you progress you will also be able to upgrade your sword with various enchantments from the elements of fire, ices and lightning. Like any hero, you will also need to sustain yourself by drinking the blood and souls of your defeated enemies [makes a change from beer and pizzas -Ed].
This next chapter in the epic Legacy of Kain series is a cutting-edge action/adventure game featuring more action than ever before. Take control of two powerful and highly evolved vampires: Kain, an all-powerful demigod, and Raziel, a demonic angel of death. Each is equipped with a legendary sword, and must battle through a world loaded with conflict and intrigue as they attempt to unravel their destinies and defeat the dark forces that seek to condemn their world to eternal damnation.
揜eturn to the dark intrigue of Nosgoth, where the vampire Kain pursues his fallen creation Raziel. While their adversaries plot their destruction, Kain and Raziel must embark on a dark odyssey, which only one of them may survive.?/X-ITALICS>
