I was a bit let down by the sudden ending, but all of the info about how much content was cut didn't come to light until some time after the game came out. It was disappointing to hear about it, but it didn't retroactively ruin my experience with the game. I played through it so many times over the years. I remember it came out right around the same time as System Shock 2, which I was very excited to play on my new machine at the time... but it was Soul Reaver that captured my imagination that summer. Another big part of it was that was MAJORLY burned out on FPSs around that time.
