Blood Omen and Soul Reaver are part of the same series, The Legacy Of Kain. All the games are linked the one to the other and are developed by the same team (Take a look at our special on Soul Reaver 2). Anyhow, it's important to remember that the first Blood Omen - the game that started the series - was an RPG.
Actually, I did like the suspended ending of the first Soul Reaver. Too many reviewers, on my opinion, didn't have the time to notice the enormous project behind the whole series. The story of The Legacy Of Kain series is extremely ambitious; the voice acting, the great narrative parts are worth of a Shakespearean drama.
Soul Reaver 2 is one of the most impressive games released on Playstation 2. It's an incredible journey in a vast gothic world. A must have, on my opinion. We had a special on Soul Reaver 2 in November: you can read it clicking on the link below.

We'll have a review of Blood Omen 2 soon...
