Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Legacy of Cain: Defiance is the 5th and final Installment in the Legacy of Cain series, which was released in 2003. For such an old Game, it is Still beautiful to look at today. The only negative Aspect is the Control. You can clearly see that the Game was intended for the console and the Camera, for mouse and Keyboard is not adapted. There's not much new to say about the story. Except that after 5 Parts, the Story finally finds a Conclusion. The, it first seems, ends with a final Battle, between Cain And Raziel. However, after the Fight it turns out who the real Danger is. And to find out, it takes a good 12 Hours of Play. The Story ties in with Soul Reaver 2, as well as Blood Omen 2. This is because this time we have the Special Feature of being able to play both Main Characters. For one thing, we have Cain, a Vampier like him, who has wanted to rule Nosgoth as a grisly Dictator For Centuries. (Must be today's Korea). And on the other hand, we would have Raziel. He is searching for the Meaning of his Rebirth as an Undead and what role his free Will plays in it. Raziel is not interested in Blood, instead devouring the Souls of his Adversaries. Verdict: The Epic Series finds its unexpected Conclusion. Where the Connections can be better understood if you have really played all the other Parts as well. For this Part, 12 Hours of Play is also quite ok. Graphically, it is also very good to look at for the present Time. The Controller gets a thick Minus as it is completely consoles heavy. All in one, again a successful Part of the Series, which thus represents a must have for Fans. For Newcomers who don't know the Series, I recommend the Predecessors to Games first.
