Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 review

Meh

by Tramandai

There are a lot of bad Developers in the Industry. But Crystal Dynamics unfortunately far outnumbers them. Soul Reaver 1 I liked to play and also get through, but Soul Reaver 2 is no further on the PC Than the Proof of derincability of the entire Development team. As a Console Player, I have constantly read about how bad the Ports of current games are, how few Eating possibilities there are and so on. I never thought anything but now I had to experience it in my own life. Porting Soul Reaver 2 is an Insult to any Player. Rarely did an Enwtwicker seem so inept. Let's Start with Soul Reaver 2 Currently running on close to no PC that Has more than one Processor. If you Manage to work through the Folder Hell that was packed by Steam on the PC (You notice relatively little Experience with PC games) and find the SR2.exe so you have no rest but it in Compatibility Mode from Windwos 95-98 ( From XP there are problems to start). But then more Problems begin. Due to the ENtwicker's lack of Skills, the Sound cracks in the Game, constantly. In addition, there are mikrorucklers and Sounds that constantly describe themselves, such as opening Doors or Cries from dying Opponents. But this is far from the worst. The absolute worst thing is the Fact that there is no German Version of the Game. That would not be a Problem, at least, there would be Subtitles that were Stadard 15 Years ago. Even those don't exist in Soul Reaver 2. So I felt forced to download a Deutschpatch due to the different Accents in the Game, which is accompanied by even more Problems. The Patch formally rapes The Option Menu. Control Options are now with "Sound." Sound Options for "Graphik" (written With PH ...) and Gameplay Options can now be found at "Entf." Sure, that's because of the Deutshcpatch. But I wouldn't have to invite him to the SPiel in German at Steam. Once you have loaded the Deutschpatch, control Options cannot NOT be CHANGED MHER. You have to do That before Patching, because now all the Actions are absolutely wrong. Blocking = SPringen. Jumping = open The Circle menu etc. And you can't even scroll through the Options, which is why 2/3 of the Actions can no longer be seen at all. As much as I loved SR 1, I'm disappointed with SR 2. The Developer was not tintelligent enough to release a decent PC version at the Time. Therefore, I never see myself forced to buy a Game from Crystal Dynamics again until SR 2 has been patched.
