Haven't received the game yet so can't talk about the game itself other than the demo, but when it comes to graphics, framerate, how the game controls. I do think the people who worked on it are great at developing games. Great looking game with a locked 30fps. All your combat skills control really well. Uncharted style climbing, even though has been done on the previous game is also done well.
In the demo though there's a lot of hand holding. Every time you get to a new section, the camera pans over to that then looks over where you'll climb. It has to feel to teach you how to block, etc. That's one thing that was also common early in the first game for the first three chapters and then a little bit here and there throughout the game. The first game is amazing and one of my favorite PS3 games, but the whole hand holding thing is an annoyance. I thought Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate was also a good game, just check points were way too forgiving.
I'm inclined to believe the person though because on every single review I've looked at, whether it was good or bad, pointed out that the biggest problem in the game was turning into a rat in order to unlock a door or area, or stealth sections. None of the reviews said much more than that, but if they're that bad, I wouldn't doubt that people would say they don't agree with those being in the game. As a Castlevania fan I don't think they belong in the game. Also, you're Dracula and supposed to defeat Satan. You can kill Satan but can't kill a few armored guys with guns? You're forced to sneak around them? Doesn't make much sense.
Anyways. I'm going in the game with an open mind. So will give my opinion once I finish it. Should receive it today hopefully.

There are so many complaints of Dracula in modern times, but why can't there be a modern setting with guns and such. Dracula was killed in 1999 in the original timeline. There were guns then. You can get a gun, silver gun, and positron rifle in Aria of Sorrow. There are some enemies in the Castlevania series that use old rifles. I'm just saying that people should keep an open mind about the setting because having a modern setting doesn't mean that it can't work. Ninja Gaiden has enemies that use machine guns and the gameplay works fine.
So much bias out there from people that haven't even played the game because a perceived notion from those players that a game can't work well because it is in modern settings, or it has an emo version of Dante, or etc. How about take the setting and theme of the game as what the developer wanted it to be and rate a game on what matters. Gameplay and possibly story if there's a lot of it forced on the player.
