  Legacy of Kain: Defiance for Xbox Review - Xbox Legacy of Kain: Defiance Review
Legacy of Kain: Defiance is instantly appealing to fans of this long-running action adventure series, since, for the first time, it lets you play as both the arrogant vampire, Kain, as well as the determined half-demon, Raziel, in their continued quest to confront each other and defy their respective fates.
The story of Legacy of Kain: Defiance is convoluted and seems intended primarily for those who've been keeping up with the series, but even if you have, you might find the events of this game difficult to follow.
Kain's journey begins when he raids the Sarafan stronghold to confront the manipulative Moebius, who seems to know how Kain's and Raziel's fates will intertwine and what is to become of the land of Nosgoth once their conflict comes to an end.

 TVG: Legacy of Kain: Defiance // PlayStation 2 // Review
These range from smartass grumblings from Kain as he performs a fetch quest to conversations between Raziel and Ariel as he tries to find out what on earth is going on.
Kain plays a combat oriented fetch quest sort of game, while Raziel plays a far more puzzle based game, though still more action packed than before.
Kain also has a secret weapon unlockable with a cheat code which makes me wonder who at Crystal Dynamics has been reading Penny Arcade recently.

 Legacy of Kain: Defiance (Playstation 2) Review at RewiredMind.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Both characters, Kain and Raziel, are on a similar quest which cover similar areas, with the proviso that about 500 years separate each character's story.
This however, is amply compensated by the range of offensive moves that Kain now possesses and he is now able to perform lift attacks and mid air combos with a satisfying helping of blood letting, along with the extremely entertaining telekinesis, allowing you to move enemies from a distance with some amusing consequences.
Despite this major irritation, Defiance is a worthy addition to the Kain series and is to be applauded for it's engaging storyline and absorbing gameplay.

The Legacy of Kain series has always been about talking heads, and Defiance is no different.
Yes, some of their moves have slightly different timing, but for all intents and purposes, Kain and Raziel are the same character.
If you've never liked the Legacy of Kain series because it was too much about story and not enough about actual gameplay, then Defiance might be the installment that you've been waiting for.
