Forums - Gaming - Castlevania Lords of Shadow review - by IGN

"I recommend Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, but not to Castlevania fans. Pretty much anything you would expect to find in a Castlevania game is not to be found here."

"In the end, I'd rather play a more traditional 2D Castlevania game, but there is no denying that this is a beautiful and enjoyable change of pace."

edit - what the hell happened here and the format?

7.5

Kinda less than what I expected after reading the review.

Also, isn't the framedrops only exclusive to the Xbox 360 version? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading that somewhere.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

20 hours is now considered incredibly long? I really hate the average length of games this generation.

For an action/platform game i'd say it's very long. Much longer than any similar game out there and this is not a case of copy/paste like DMC4.

IGNorant imo. That is not a professional review. :P



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

"This action adventure game that's heavy on combat actually has much more in common with God of War than Castlevania."

I told you so.

Thats gamespot, IGN and Gametrailers,1up giving it less than 8...

Not that i put too much stock in reviews, but quotes like the IGN one are really dissapointing for castlevania fans. I still may try it...however it being a rental is a sure thing now. I think I'll rent to for PS3 actually...
