  • Still some of the best voice acting I've come across. Actually, I"d say it's probably the best.

  • if they brought this game back in the arcade market HD or no HD i would deffinatly buy it, such a good story and game and it don't even look too bad even to this day!

  • One of the best plotlines in game history. It certainly has minimum plot holes, come to think of it, maybe even none.

  • Wow, just wow. Besides probably some Hideo Kojima games (Metal Gear series and Snatcher), the LoK series is probably the only video game series with such a complex and elaborate plot. It's a shame Tony Jay passed away, may he R.I.P.. He had one the most sinister voices I've ever heard.

  • ok thank you much

  • is tha a real movie of the game???how can i download it

  • @teo3city this is the actual story whyle you play the game these moovies will play along with it there are alot of series tied with this one i shall enumerate all the games starting from the beggining:blood omen,blood omen 2,soul reaver 1 soul reaver 2 and finally legacy of kain defiance(this is at least from my opinion the best one made refering to the moves,graphics etc)so if you wanna understand the story fully i suggest you start from the beggining(4 the 1st parts you need a primitive comp)

  • I sure hope Lucas and Speilberg don't get their hands on this IP.

  • Something is bothering me, Vorador forged the Reaver for Janos but he was a human and humans appeared after the Hylden cursed the Ancients to become vampires and by that time Janos had already the Reaver... WTF?

  • @GaradrielS humans already existed, Vorador was a servant of Janos. the sword & the pillars were done around the same time. There are a few places where it's mentioned that the Pillars are the lock, and the sword is the Key. Janos was was the Tenth Guardian, the guardian of the sword. The vampires realized that they needed to change humans into vampires, because they could no longer bear children. That's part of the reason that humans rose up against them. At least that's how i remember it.

  • @firesong18 Actually it was the elder god corrupting Moebius that lead him to the Sarafan hunting them. He tricked Kain into traveling back in time and killing a beloved king of the people (who in Kain's time becomes the tyrant Nemesis) and when he returned, Moebius had used it to ignite the people's hatred of vampires.

  • @GaradrielS the reaver itself was forged yes but Rasiel is the part of the reaver that matters and as he travels through time the reaver has always existed even before it was forged :P

  • The second best scenario . First is Half-Life. Still fucking awesome . Yet other games controls and camera angle were much appreciated

  • Wasn't Vorador a sadistic asshole in the first game? The Legacy of Kain seems to be getting less "epic." All the characters are getting soft.

  • @MiddleSeventhCircle Vorador is still a sadistic asshole. He's just not all the way gone in this stream of time.

  • LoL 00:37 the elder god has a system failure

  • Vea Victus. Woe to the Fallen!!!

  • Why did you not put in the parts of Raziels escape and where he learns to resurrect himself from corpses of the fallen? ^^ and when he enters the castle... so much action missing in this.

  • who cr8ed  vorador ?

  • @Mrtvababa Janos Auldron created him.

  • @Mrtvababa he was human and then turned into a vampire.

  • i really like this series sr2 was a disappointment but defiance was a triumph

  • WINDOWS SOUNDS IS COOL AT BEGINING!

  • Essentially The Elder God out of jealousy created (cause the vampires were now immortal too) Raziel and the Soul Reaver so as to control both the Hylden and the vampires. But in doing so it created an indestructible weapon with free will which could be used against it.

  • Submission is not always what it seems :D

  • deep stuff

  • the elder god reminds me of yog sototh of cthulhu mythos

  • i love this game and raziel!! best games ever! i love him so much i went and got half my leg tattooed of him

  • if you had your volume set to a different level when you were recording, it will record as such.

  • love the series so much

    its just one giant mind fuck, especially with the time travelling etc

  • i miss soul reaver :[

  • good storyline!

  • This is one of the best storylines I've seen in videogame series.

  • Yeah, from what I understand they hired an outside source to get most of it.

    Probably what Bungie should have done with Halo2 and 3....

  • @renarudo1 its also one of the most complicated due to all the time traveling shit

  • @renarudo1 This is one of best vampire storylines I've ever seen. Despite being very underrated and understated, I believe the Legacy of Kain to be one of those stories that contributes to the very definition of the vampire genre..... Someone should seriously novelize it.

  • cast him in.

  • yo whats DMC?

  • Devil May Cry?

  • agree, this is no wow, its much, much greater

  • OMG noobs what are you talking about this is no world of warcraft this is the only game after DMC that as true epic story dont compare this game to wow is a insult

  • wow has nice story too.. specialy wotlk... if you read it its nice story, but most of ppl doesnt know the wow story.

    But LOK has the best-gothic storyline.

  • Oh, Raziel has the same voice actor as the Prophet in Warcraft III :O Awesome voice.

  • i swear to god its the same as kel thuzads ...but i havent played warcraft in forever so i might be wrong

  • Nah,it's not Ke'thuzad,Kel'Thuzad is voiced by another guy (don't remember his name).

    Raziel is voiced by Michael Bell,the guy that also voiced the Druid of the talon,Necromancers and the Prophet in Warcraft 3.

  • 0:37 u can hear someone unplugging a USB :D

  • is this really a movie on a type of channel or is this just from the first game?

  • Neither really, it's cut-scenes from legacy of kain defiance, the third game in the series made.

  • Ok thanks.

  • the 3rd game ? its the 5th legacy of kain game isn't it, don't forget Blood Omen 1 and 2 where you play as kain

  • its the 5th game

  • is the writing on the stone raziel is on..is that hebrew..or no??

  • it's most likely the language Soul Reaver has on his cloak, for it looks somewhat like Hebrew and Aramaic any way.

  • Raziel dosen't have a cloak he has a scarf thing and torn wings and the symbol on his scarf is kains symbol

  • if we want to get technical, those things that kain/raziel wear are neither scarfs or cloaks; kopaka160 asked what the symbol was, and i replied that it resembles hebrew or aramaic. whether or not it's kain's symbol or not, it still resembles hebrew, as the story and the names and events are hebrew/biblical in their conception

  • Actually, the symbol on the mantle that he's using as a scarf isn't Kain's. It is the symbol of his clan and territory under the reign of Kain's empire

  • Actually, it's Lovecraft's Diary, and when it was translated, it was french. It was in athread somewhere in the eidos forums. I don'y know if I remember correctly, but when translated to english, it sounded like a prayer to the EG.

  • Thanks for letting us all watch 2 parts and leaving out the rest.

  • D'ya reckon that Vorador was resurrected as a side-effect of being sired by Janos and Janos' heart still beating?

  • That's what I want to know.

  • The Legacy of Kain series IS definitely one of the best games series by far. It would be so cool if they made movies of the games but we wouldn't want anyone to ruin the legacy now would we. Usually if they make a movie(s) of something, they change alot of the fine details, which is not what we want to happen!

  • Oh My God it's Judge Frollo!

  • I wonder, with todays technology, many CG movies are available in the market. Can't eidos make a CG movie for the whole series? That will be really great, I mean the story is very well told, don't you think?

  • Indeed. And don't lose hope... maybe the saga is fated to end in a movie or something. I'd like it to be a game, but since so many things have happened to the team who created this series (the great writer is gone, and the voice for the Elder God is no longer with us), it is uncertain, even improbable. D.R.

  • Creo que esta saga es la que más me gusta en cuanto a argumento a la que nunca haya jugado. Espero que la parte final que falta de la historia esté a la altura de la serie. Eso de que Eidos haya despedido a tantos programadores de Crystal Dynamics me hace temer lo peor

  • It was this series alone the reason I am buying a PS2 so I can play all of it

  • Consider also playing God of War. Not so much of a storyline, but a great action game, and the depictions of mythological beings is rather magnificent, xD. That would be the game I would by the PS2 for. D.R.

  • I'll be sure to tAke a playthrough

  • god of war are the best games ever made.but legacy of kain's story is better :D

  • Ahhh! In that, my friend, we totally agree! hehehe.

    But anyway... this story is better than most other stories created for any game, of any time whatsoever. D.R.

  • hmmmm

  • Nice =)

  • madej or maciej. Lol im also from Poland except im 13. I from the city Wroclaw.

  • People who playd THIS game series dont need to read books EVER ! ^^

  • looks like your the one who needs to read the books

    learn to spell

  • and you suck balls nerd -.-

  • seriously, books can be very good. LoK is my favourite story, but I even read some books.....

  • dude wtf is your prob ?

    im not even putting something in my spelling cause there are only few nerdish assholes left outside in the world perhaps even your kind is already in a red book so GO READ IT your piece of useless bookworm

  • if your spelling was good enoegh for me to understand then i would have left you alone...

    but i couldnt even read it

    anyway im sorry can we cut the arguement now

  • wtf couldnt you read ???

  • Comment removed

  • dude can we cut the arguement know cmon

    just SHUT UP

  • So you don't wanna argue because you know you're wrong it's of poor character to start fights and not finish them you know

  • LOL i love you tube fights XD they are so stupid

  • talking about rome's king....u mispelled enough LOL

  • I wodner why Ariel pretened to not know him...

  • she mistook Raziel for the Unspoken, the greatest of the Hylden.

    She did not 'pretend' not to know him, she really did. Ariel first met Raziel in the era of Nosgoth's decay and Kain's Empire. This was centuries, or even milleniums from the moment Raziel met her at the Pillars in Defiance. Raziel travelled in time but Ariel didn't, so she didn't yet know him.

  • my memory's bad, was the 'unspoken' the hylden lord? or someone who was mentioned in bo1, i didnt play bo1

  • indeed, in the whole saga some people referring to the hylden lord called him "the Unspoken".

  • ahh, was the hylden lord also inside or turel & mortanius?

  • He possessed Mortanius and Janos Audron, you can see it in Defiance. The Hylden Lord is also the mastermind behind the whole intrigue, and he is the one who killed Ariel using Mortanius' body. Turel was NOT possessed by the Hylden Lord, but by a few of other Hylden, probably also quite important guys. The cultists though still named Turel "Hash'ak'gik" because they didn't know so.

  • Then what was inside turel? i figured they called him Hash'ak'gik becuse they didnt know his real name, plus, if memory serves right, the green ghost thing jumped to mortanius after turels' death.

  • No. As i said, Turel was possessed by a few not named (in game) Hylden. Mortanius was possessed by the Hylden Lord himself. The green fire that appeared in the victim's eyes is a common trait among all those who were possessed by the Hylden. The Hylden were a whole race, not one guy who "jumped from Turel to Mortanius".

  • ah, i know the hylden were a race, but i thought that it may have only been the hylden lord who was strong enough to squeeze through the binding.

    but thanks for all the info and such :D

  • np, if you have any questions about lok, feel free to pm me, i'm a major fan for quite a long time. Like, 9 years or such.

  • im looking for the first one ive played the demo and ive been looking for it for like 6 or 7 years

  • LoK series were awesome bad no more are coming :( Kain and Raziel are the same they are one and Raziel realised that at the ending of Defiance

  • yeah i totally agree , it is the BEST game ever , it`s a pitty it`s over . i really hope they`ll make a new part of it !!.

  • A slight misunderstanding there, Raziel and Kain are not one and the same. Raziel realised that fate had toyed with him the same way it had Kain and he finally realised that Kain was trying to folow his true destiny. The soul reaver before was incomplete as Raziel did not wish to become part of it. This time however he is fully imbued with all the guardians of the pillars and he willingly joins with the reaver, realising and accepting that his fate was unimportant and he was there to help kain.

  • better sayd

    they both were based as tools to meet more big conflikt i dont understand is in the Blood Omen 2 part or in the next over defience :P

  • Awesome! Raziel is the Best!!! 5/5

  • Kain>Raziel, Amen.

  • Kain>Raziel, Amen

  • I like the painting Historic Cutstenes..

  • raziel è un ventriloquo...troppo forte!!

  • bene. sono 40 minuti che guardo video in inglese. ho capito il 20% di quello che hanno detto. dopo una giornata che lavoro a cercare di capire cosa dicono le mie registrazioni, ho nella testa le scimmie urlatrici. che qualcuno traduca questo capolavoro in italiano(e che i dialoghi non li facciano in stile Goku)

  • nn ho capito bene...vuoi sapere tutta la storia di legacy of kain?! madonna se è così è davvero 1 macello...li ho giocati tutti qualke anno fa ma nn mi ricordo quasi nulla! XD

  • no, voglio dire, c'è qualcuno che di buona volontà si è messo ed ha riunito tutti i video di tutti i soul reaver, proponendo una bellissima storia. ora io dico, dovremo fare una roba simile in italiano! io ci sto re-iniziando a fare tutto d'accapo, ma mi mancano i BloodOmen...

  • eh...a me mancano tutti quanti...li ho giocati ma me li avevano prestati...ke saga spettacolare cmq... ^^

  • Does anybody know how to go into those bars where the gravestone looking thing is???

  • Raziel is a ventriloquist :D

  • Ihave uploaded the full movie.. go my profile to watch it!!

  • finish the stuff, damn you! i need closer!

  • Indulge you hunger!!!!!

  • cok güzel oyun buoyunun devamı cıkmıcakmı

  • how can raziel talk? and with a really good accent

  • Michael Bell does the talking for him lol ;)

  • Wow,arile's a bitch.

  • part 3 pls?^^

  • ... ok I have a question... , why is it that yanos the very first vampire of nosgoth, or any other vampire cant be conscious without their heart, but kain can be conscious without his heart (raziel tore kains heart out, well it was yanos's)... ok what im basically asking is, yanos + no heart = unconscious ... kain + no heart = conscious ... but why? yanos is just as old as kain is, if not older...

  • Kain's role as the Scion of Balance prevents him from dying...

  • His Pride does. Kain choses to rule a decaying empire rather the kill himself.

    Later you learn that if Kain killed himself to "restore balance". The world would have come out worse.

  • For one the Scion of Balance thing, but for another remember that Janos is an ancient. The last remaining one at that.

    His race is the precursor to the modern vampire race, but not the same. He and Kain are two very different animals.

  • Is this game real old???

  • dude about 3 years but im just now geting it mine tha i order is comin on the 6

  • YOU SUCK!

  • SHUT UP!!! I CAN LIKE WHOEVER I WANT!!!

  • Wow they can all teleport.... why can't we do that in game?

  • Yes Kain lives ;)

  • Raziel will so kill Kain, he's too blind to see his only escape.

  • Nope he doesn't

  • Asceticwolf, sorry but are you on drugs by any chance? Sorry, didn't want to sound offensive, but Duthoin asked you why Kain didn't die after having his heart removed. WHAT THE FUCK HAS IT TO DO WITH HIS PRIDE?

  • Yes, thank you for noticing. I probably took that question another way.

  • Right, me too...

  • is very good this game raziel is fantastic

  • oooh i love this game and i love raziel so much <3

  • ma igrica je vrh .. ... . voleo bi da izadje jos koji deo :)

  • Ive always liked raziel becaouse he is too much alike me.

  • Sounds like you just want to be like him eh?

    always on his balls when playing the game?

    you will never be like Raziel. =/

  • haha, good call, I was thinking the same thing

  • but this game did not came out I am looking for it and I can not find it

  • yes, it is out. look for it.

  • Мама ви КУРСКА!

    Само Локо ПД!

  • yeah yeah yeah....Kain is the best character because of Raziel...can't any of you understand that?

  • Man the replay value to the game was non-existent! But the story...I wouldnt mind a CGI movie >_>; shoot...I still want one!

  • I have been dreaming and dreaming... maybe when I'm a movie director with a cool million I'll make one for us Soul Reaver fans... haha

  • where i can see all the FMV's Of LOK DEFIANCE LIKE MOVIE TYPE??

  • I think Raziel looks alot more decayed and worn out than the second one so he's probably a couple years older nice work

  • yeah man,however the original design is the same better graphic had something to do with defiance raziel, btw his wings were badly done

  • I agree they have put not to much effort in to this one although it's better than the shitty first one crap graphics

  • this game had the best voice actin,but the puzzles were to damn hard and i never beat it.

  • Indeed, the voice actors are the best ever used in a game series, but the puzzels were not as hard as i wished

  • The game is just perfect in every sense, but in my opinion it was too easy, I finished it in a few days and I have been years starving for more of LOK..... Anyway Kain is the best character!!!!

  • Hey motha fuka, where the hell is part 3

    it has been good so far so finish the job.

  • ive only played sr1 and i really luv it. ive watched all the videos for the other games but its just not da same. T_T can any1 tell me were i can get da other games?

  • eBay

    its where i got defiance

  • this game is suuper

  • guys the game is cool and i have played bo 1 also and its pretty cool legacy of Kain rulz

  • Thank you,i use like a gide to beat the game

  • ah watching these maks me want to re beat the game over again but i got to find the dreamcast

  • vorador took growth hormone

  • He's /huge/ isn't he!

  • lol. Vorador puts the sword in the sheath and the later its GONE!!!!

  • You played all except Blood Omen 1? Well, in terms of story and atmosphere, BO1 is still the best of the series, and I loved Defiance just because it was a chance to play through classic BO1 locations (like Kain's Mausoleum, Vorador's castle) for the first time in 3D.

  • game with the best story-line of all time, and a very, VERY good game. I need help from many fansite to fully understand the story. Played all except Blood Omen 1.

    Above all, my favourite game.
