Some day I'd like to play some more Legacy of Kain games. I like the original Soul Reaver a lot and never played any of the others
Blood Omen 1 was a really cool gem if you like top down action rpgs, the sequel eh wasn't too pretty and the combat was a bit redundant but playing as Cain is still badass, Soul Reaver 2 improved on the first one immensely and not nearly as many box puzzles :] while defiance became a bit too much like a devil may cry clone but was and is still pretty, and like all the rest the voice acting and story are fantastic. oh and they're all pretty cheap and easy to find
Nicely summed up, thanks. I'll probably try Soul Reaver 2 at some point

Man I loved how the towns people reacted to you in the first game and how player death was part of the story rather than taking you out of the game. So many cool little touches in that game

Blood Omen and Defiance were the best in the series. Oddly enough, that's the first and the last game, so it's kind of like a crap sandwich made with awesome bread. Except the middle games weren't so bad. Soul Reaver 1 was actually pretty great in its time, but it was never really completed, and some of those puzzles didn't age so well.

Defiance seemed to get everything just right and delivered a satisfying ending to the series. Nothing wrong with copying some of Devil May Cry's finer gameplay points either.
