He has the usual dentistry problems and could probably do with a manicure. However, a bigger problem right now is that he's actually been 'dead' for years and has just awoken to find that he's lost all his memories and previous powers. His other pertinent problem is that Nosgoth, the land he once ruled, is now under the control of a group of militant humans known as the Sarafan.
Basically, poor Kain should have woken up about a century earlier. In Blood Omen 2, the fourth in The Legacy Of Kain series, it's up to you to recover Kain's powers and unite the land of Nosgoth under vampire rule once again. Blood Omen 2 is not a complex game. OK, there may be the odd rudimentary lever puzzle thrown in to stem the relentless flow of blood, but effectively you have 11 levels to savagely mutilate everything you see.
At first you can only kill with your claws. However, as things hot up in the streets and alleys of Nosgoth the usual array of clubs, swords and axes appear to usher proceedings on their bloody way. Controlling Kain in battle couldn't be easier.
The lock-on fighting method keeps your closest enemy in front of you at all times and you just wade in with your weapon. Your victims do offer some resistance; especially the knights and guards who block obvious lunges, but even they still follow a preset attack pattern, which once sussed means you can usually dispatch two or even three enemies at once.
You can also block attacks yourself every time you successfully do this Kain's rage meter increases slightly. When it reaches maximum you can perform special attacks, which do more damage than usual. You can also pick up enemies by the throat and throw them or and this really does look painful pin them up against a wall with one hand and then with the other swing your current weapon up between their legs.
Our undead hero can also kill other vampires to relearn his forgotten 'Dark Gifts'.

Many of B02's levels consist of repetitious switch-flipping and crate-pushing. Returning fans will dig the quality narrative, but newcomers may find BO2's arbitrary puzzles and cardboard cutout levels tedious.
The sour taste left by RaziePs last jaunt has been replaced by the warm, sweet taste of blood. Issues that dragged Soul Reaver 2 down are not present -- Kain's artery-sucking escapade keeps the cutscenes to a minimum and actually rewards you for fighting. Puzzles constitute much of the game-play, and while early levels are heavy on switch-flipping and crate-pushing, later levels like the stylish Eternal Prison feature inventive obstacles requiring Kain's use of Dark Gift spells.
The gorgeous, Gothic graphics will make your head spin If you can, get the speedier Xbox version. Like all good video-game heroes, Blood Omen 2's star, Kain, brutally slaughters innocent townspeople, drinks the blood of his foes, and is maniacally blinded by vengeance. Actually, come to think of it, those aren't very heroic traits at all. Hey, who needs valor when you can be a bad-ass anti-hero? For the first time since the original Blood Omen game, Crystal Dynamics puts you in control of Kain, the deposed king of the undead, and the Legacy of Kain series may never be the same.
Chronologically, this title takes place years after Kain's first appearance and 1, years before Raziel's adventure in the first Soul Reaver. The last few centuries have been rough, and Kain's power and influence have eroded. Angry, bitter and vengeful, he sets out to regain his lost powers, the Soul Reaver weapon and control of Nosgoth.
You'll do your share of grisly murdering, but you must also chat up the locals in the pub to gain information. In combat, Kain's hand-to-hand fighting skills shine, and he can skillfully wield any weapon dropped by an adversary. However, these weapons can only sustain so much wear and tear before breaking. After felling a foe, Kain can heal himself by sucking his prey's blood. An impressive cloud of crimson spray flies from their corpses directly into his mouth.
In addition to murderous moves, you'll also command abilities like shape-shifting and high jumping once you begin to amass the missing Dark Gifts. Visually, BO2 sports amazingly ambitious graphics. Exploring a crowded, medieval city and underground maze is entirely seamless, so there is no loading as you enter and exit buildings. Kain's resurrection as the series' star is truly a grandiose one, and fans of the series will likely eat it up.
