Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Heard alot of great things about the game, but when i played it (steam version) i found plethora of performance and had trouble running it decently. When it ran, the keyboard control are complete smegma and controller doesnt help too. Tricking it using xpadder still doesnt change the awful camera and control.

I never pass that waterfall jump at the beginning before getting a headache.

Is it better the emulate the gamecube version with updated gfx and all?

Is there a GC version of LOK:SR? Wiki doesn't seem to list one for that particular LOK.

I would say the Dreamcast version with a VGA box would likely be tops. If that's not possible, then it looks like the PSX version is all that's left after ruling out the PC version.

Play the PC version with a controller. Using a WinXP machine may help.

Emulate the Dreamcast version with nullDC. It's perfectly playable and the best version of the game.

Start right, play Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain first, then when you get to Soul Reaver 2 you'll get all self referential stuff.

I have it and I played part of the PC version with a controller but codexers told me that the PC version is missing some sounds.

The PC versions of these games are broken and are bad ports - particularly the first Soul Reaver. Best emulating PS versions.
