| MediEvil | Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE Studios Cambridge) | 1998 | The setting for MEDIEVIL is the town of Gallowmere, and it tells the story of Sir Daniel Fortesque. Long ago, Sir Dan was Gallowmeres most well respected knight, until he died while fighting a squad of rapscallions led by Zarok. Long after Daniels death, Zaroks magic has accidentally reincarnated Sir Dan. Only this time, Sir Dan is nothing but a rickety skeleton, and Zarok has a whole new army of evil undead monsters that you as Sir Danwill have to beat. While this game has plenty of action, it is also filled with bright and colorful graphics, and has a light feel that will appeal to younger gamers.*** [32]*** [31]*** [27] | labelimagesubject |
| Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver | Eidos (Crystal Dynamics) | 1999 | Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver pushes the limits of adventure gaming with incredibly fluid graphics and realistic environments. As Raziel, stalk Nosgoth feeding upon the souls of your enemies as you seek to destroy your creator - Kain. Battle five different clans of vampires as you explore a vast 3D world dominated by a ruthless dynasty. Master complex puzzles with your unprecedented ability to interact with objects. Features real-time morphing, shift between the material and spectral realms. Discover the mysteries of Nosgoth, a millenium after Kain's ascension, as you uncover your own twisted past. Also features seamless game play, No load times, Grim gothic story supported with full-motion animation, and in-game cinematic events and compelling voice-over.*** [32]*** [27]***It is one thousand years after Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. Raziel, once a mighty vampire and lieutenant of Kain, rises from eternal banishment where Kain put him out of jealous rage. Now, after having been freed by the Elder God, Raziel is out to free the world from the dreaded vampire clans and to destroy Kain himself! The shadows of Nosgoth is a vast 3D world packed with deadly creatures, amazing graphics, and spectacular special effects. During his quest, Raziel survives by feeding on the souls of the undead and as Raziel defeats his enemies, he gains abilities and weapons that will allow him to ultimately challenge Kain himself.***Several hundreds of years after Kain decided to damn Nosgoth, he is now the Master of Nosgoth. He has 6 vampire lieutenants, one of which he will punish for an apparent reason of jealousy of the lieutenant developing a dark gift before the Master. The lieutenant, Raziel, is condemned to destruction by being cast in the Lake of the Dead, but he is somehow saved from total annihilation by an unknown entity called the Elder God. He then vows vengeance against his former master, but when he returns to the material world he finds that much has changed. This game is fully 3D and has been wrongly compared to Tomb Raider. The controls are actually good and precise, the 3D engine was the best of its time with very large and detailed environments. Raziel is no longer a typical vampire: instead of drinking blood, he devours souls, and has actually become a vampire hunter. He kills vampires by various means such as impalement or immolation. He can also shift back and forth between the spirit/spectral realm and the material realm when need be. A bit later in the game he will find the Soul Reaver, but a different version of the sword than from Blood Omen: it's a spectral sword that is fused to his body and his very being. The Soul Reaver will become a key element in the Legacy of Kain storyline. | labelimagesubject |
| MediEvil 2 | Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE Studios Cambridge) | 2000 | In this sequel to MEDIEVIL, you control Sir Daniel Fortesque, the undead knight, as he makes his way around the world's foggiest city, London. Your arsenal ranges from swords to muskets, and if you defeat enough enemies on each level, you'll unlock its Chalice of Souls and be rewarded with special items. Gameplay is a mixture of platform-jumping, puzzle-solving, and good old hack-and-slash action.***ME2 is an OK game, with lots of dark humour involved. However it's let down by bad camera angles and an extreme difficulty level. Lucky there are in game cheats. [Haoie] | labelimagesubject |
