They already alienated their fanbase with the original Lord of shadows game...clearly they're aiming for the smallest audience possible.

(note:no offence, i thought it was great but lets face it noone bought it and a lot of castlevania fans seemed to hate it as fans hate it when companies fuck with the formula)

sigh i just wish they'd stuck with the 'symphony' style games on the nintendo handhelds...

As a massive traditional CastleVania fan, for me it was thoroughly refreshing to play Lords of Shadow. It annoyed the hell out of me that all the recent CastleVania games were MetroidVania style ones. I much preferred the 8 and 16 bit ones.

There were some parts that they utterly nailed with Lords of Shadow, particularly in relation to Super CastleVania IV which was my favourite one. However they dropped the ball on the atmosphere. It wasn't CastleVania-ey enough for me. Though Symphony of the Night had an utterly mind blowingly good soundtrack, I'll give it that. I just preferred the more pure platforming experience of the older ones.
