Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow

Searched the forum and there seems to be no Castlevania: LoS thread.

I got the game yesterday. It was either LoS or Enslaved. I went with Castlevania in the end, as it looks more of my cup of tea. I do like Enslaved as I was impressed by the demo but it didn't dramatically want me to buy it.

I'm really liking Castlevania at the moment and I'm still on chapter 1 starting mission 5. Total reboot to the franchise and right thing to do by Konami. Definitely going to bring new people to the game. Combat is like your other hack & slash games, and easily common comparisons with God Of War and Dante's Inferno. The environments are really good. The colours are very lush and I like the switching between the colourful areas to the really dark areas. The cut scenes are very good.

Voice sync are perfect, didn't notice any out of sync.

I would say that its a slow starter for the plot. Combat wise, great introduction on what you are going to get ahead. The story seems to be starting off now on where I have got too. The great bit to my pleasure is that its 2 disc's. Lots of gaming to be had and a lot of killing to be done.

I easily recommend it so far. I shall write up a more in-depth comment the further I get into the game. For now, Castlevania will have to wait. Dead Rising 2 is calling.

I think that I might get this for Christmas, I mean, it looks a little too like God of War and I have all three of them, so I'll probably just wait for the price to drop.

Very impressed by the demo though.

The only way Castlevania has a comparison to God Of War is the gameplay. The scenery in some places are familiar but when you meet this creature. I got a Pan's Labyrinth feel and when continuing with the game it will differ from God Of War.

Finished Dead Rising 2 twice now. Thanks to Clockpunk. Really is a good game when playing with friends.

Now my attention can focus on Castlevania for a while till MoH comes out. I will then be juggling them both and with WWE Legends.

Does the story make sense if you haven't played any previous games?

I just talked to my buddies who have played it and they said its just a lesser version of God of War. Anyone feel the same way, disagree?

Let me know cuz I have yet to play it.
