Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is great. Let's talk about it.

Good graphics, nothing else was that good or anywhere near as good as the 2D castlevania's. A lot of it felt like "trial and error" in terms of challenge so to me it felts dumbed down as it lacked the skill mastering that you had to do in the 2D one's. If it wasn't called Castlevania I would like it much more.

Exactly as Rob-ot said...this game wasn't called castlevania till E3 2009. Franchise cash in Konami?

And yeah, I agree the graphics were great, but the cost of making them great (static camera) is a pretty poor design choice in 2010.

Supposedly it was always intended to be Castlevania, but they weren't sure how people would react to a western-developed Castlevania and wanted to make sure it would be up to snuff before they revealed that fact.

Anyway, is Castlevania really a franchise one can cash in on?
