This game was great! Although you may have to be (but dont) a fan of the series. The graphics were visually pleasing, the story line was fantastic and compelling, making me want to keep playing righ tto the end. I loved the new fight system (although it could still be improved a tad bit more) and the sound is eerie and cool.
My few complaints are...
1) the glitches, most of them are minor ones but a few like the one involving the dark forge, unless you know about it before hand, and horrendous and really hurt the game, maybe shoulda spent a bit more time in beta testing before released
2) the powers, although neat and cool to look at did little else than progress you through a few puzzles just to get the next power, wish there was more to them, but nothing major.
3) The End! I wont say anything about it as to not spoil it except this, it leaves you hanging, and PO'd. As soon as you finish the game your going to wish Soul Reaver 3 was out the next hour.
