Description : Soul Reaver ( Scary version of Tomb Raider )

Review : Yes, it's a Tomb Raider clone, but it was developed by the same people who made it so who cares? The main appeal of this game is you can't die. Yes, you heard me right. Mr Grim Reaper makes few appearances. (Well apart from your enemy's demise) Also Raziel (Main Character) can morph between world, sometimes essential to proceed. Raziel is a ghost vampire who needs souls to survive in the material world (Real world, peeps. Try to keep up...) and when he runs out of energy he enters the spectral world. (Ghosty world...) Each world has differant enemies and vampires in the real world need to be killed in a certain way, be it impaling, burning (which IS fun), throwing them in water, sticking them to fixed spikes or dancing and miming to the latest Britney Speirs Single. Also you learn new skills from each boss you kill and the game is totally non linear. You'll find yourself crossing the same areas more than once and solving plenty of puzzles. This game is far more action packed than Tomb Raider but wasn't successful because the main character does have 54 ZZ boobs. I would urge anybody to buy this because it's better than most 3rd person adventure games, good design of characters, story and environment and most importantly, it's dirt cheap. I picked up a pc copy for £9.99 and I think the playstation is much the same.

Rating : 97% easily. Brilliant game
