Modernized Castlevania
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a long time follower of the Castlevania series and have played them since I was a kid on the first Nintendo. So I have seen the progression over the years. This game has modernized the series quite a bit. Almost too much. It has kind of taken a page out of how the Batman games are with the on screen map guide, way of choosing the different items to fight with, and incorporating the bats in the game used for different reasons. It feels weird when Dracula is walking through modern day scenes and in warehouses, etc. I feel the game really shines when he is back in time playing scenes in the time periods you would expect from this series. Overall, the graphics are beautiful. Storyline is a bit unclear. Almost like too many things are packed within. But overall I think the game is good so far as I've only had it for a little less than a week. Just takes some time to wrap my mind around the modernization. I loved the way the game was before in LoS1 but realize things adapt with time.

Amazing Game
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great game if you like to play action packed RPG games. It has a different way to play with a lot more combos to obtain and learn with more challenging enemies, and the challenges in this game are quite intense as well. It's awesome how they made this game an open world unlike the first one where they had chapters which makes the game fun in its own way. If you loved Castlevania: Lords of Shadow you will definetly enjoy this game just as much.

Fun diversion
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Okay folks, did you play the first game in this series? Either way, forget anything you knew about it. You're Dracula this time, and he has some interesting powers which gives you some interesting mechanics. Drac is weak at the start and gets stronger(like any metroidvania game) the strange thing is, some enemies that you had to sneak by in the beginning because you were weak, can still instantly kill you when you are at your strongest. Some strange design decisions and I never really feel like I'm an all-powerful Dracula even at the end. If you can get a good price for the product, it is a fun diversion and will kill some time. Just don't go looking for some Game of The Year material here, It's fun, nothing more, nothing less, and you'll forget about the game not too long afterwards.

Good game
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good game, where you play as Dracula, It has similar game play to the first game but with a open world style. The stealth segments really break the flow of the game but the combat is very good in a DMC style. The story is very interesting as well.

Excellent Follow-up to the first game
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In summary, if you enjoyed the first Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, then you'll like this game. It continues the story of Dracula's ascension and pretty much has the same graphics with some tweaks and same style combat/gameplay.

Much better than first Lord of Shadows
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely much improved from the first Lord of Shadows game. Much better graphics, I think and the enemies are stronger or at least the boss fights seem to be. And I love the voices in this one; especially Patrick Stewart's.

Great Game
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This game is a bit different from the other games in the series with a bit more modern settings... However, it is still a great time with good music and dark creepy cool graphics!

great game
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always loved the castlevania series of games and this one is no exception. Great story, great graphics. The only thing I don't like is all the back tracking for power ups.
