  • Calm down people it was a castlevania reboot. Otherwise this is one of my top favorite games,especially because it has my favorite quote. The quote is the 1st things said at the intro of the second level.

  • Here's how you can some up a review. On this fun loving piece of shit... its castlevania rape. Bad story bad game play bad camera. I now hate konami and I want my money back. Burn in hell konami for slapping the good name of castlevania on a used tampon

  • Now that im reading the reviews, i,m currently playing the game and i though about the same thing! The game dosn't feel like CastleVania... But in my opinion the game is not bad... Different than other CastleVania, but good game... For those if you that dont like it.. ... two words for you... suck it.... jaaaaaa

  • i agree

    

  • This has to be my favorite Action Adventure game for this generation. I think its so lame that people complain that it doesn't "feel" like a Castlevania game. But those are the same people who hate all the new gen Castlevania games anyways. I think they took some of the coolest gameplay mechanics from AMAZING games and took this game into a great new direction. Also I am pretty sure (I haven't played in months) you have to manually pick up the orbs because you have to choose light or dark magic.

  • i have loved castlevania platforming games since i learned to wipe, but i dont think i would like this one.

  • ...poor review...the game is a borderline 9...and must play for this generations consoles....just ask GameInformer.

  • If the game was just called Lords of Shadow would he have given it a 9/10 then? How people like this are allowed to review games is beyond me.

  • A 7?? A 7 only?? For most of us, this is at least a 9 out of 10 (I agree with the fixed camera being more cumbersome than helpful, other than that, it is a fantastic game!

  • Did he just say that this game doesn't feel like Castlevania? Yeah right, if you have only played DS Castlevanias it doesn't. That's the only excuse he could have. And it deserves at least a 9

  • 7 OUT OF TEN REALLY???. 9 OUT OF TEN MY OPINION.

  • @Anya22936 xbox sucks balls cheap piece of shit

  • its getting annoying to hear people saying that this game sucks because its not like the other games because if it was they would just say its shit because its the same thing. also its an action adventure game and every action adventure game is the same.

  • Why the fuck would we expect a 3d hack and slasher to play like the old castlevania games? Im sick of this game being poorly reviewed by so many people. It's either critisised for being aGoW rip off or for not being enough liuke the old Castlevania games. All games should be judged on their own merits!

  • japierdole, ale chujoza, takie gry to sie robilo kurwa 10 lat temu

  • OK so the reviewer says something about how is it similar to other games but then he complains how, and i quote, "orbs [aren't] automatically absorbed like in most games." i lol'd

  • @Pendry007 You know that God of War is a ripoff of Devil May Cry right

  • this games sucks, im sorry i could not pass the 2nd lvl not by dificulty but bc of the anoing controls and camera

  • @MrMah1981 learn to spell you fucking retard. im starting to think you were to stupid to pass the secnd level. you cant call a game shit after only playing two fucking levels.thats a tutorial and one level not enough to judge a game.

  • It was a good game but not a good castlevania game cuz it hardly feels like it. I really really hope that this reboot was a one time thing and that the story written for this castlevania was born with it and dies with it. well if mercury steam does make another castlevania i hope they let Koji igarashi, ayami kojima, and Michiru Yamane help them so they can keep that castlevania feel to it.

  • Hmm, pretty nice game if you don't compare it to the game it does share some simular stuff, God of War 3. I still pick God of War 3 over this, but this was a nice game to play anyway.

  • Also, you go through plenty of big ass casltes in this game...

  • The reason why you have to click on the left stick to absorb orbs is because your left stick butten is light magic. Later in the game you also get dark magic which the right stick is used to absorb. This way, you have a choice to absorb magic in dark or light magic for tactical uses.

  • Looking at this review, the reviewer didn't seem to get past Chapter III. If the orbs were automatically absorbed then how would you be able to choose to fill the Light or Dark meter?

    LOS is a great Castlevania game with a good story and EPIC ending. If the reviewer wasn't so occupied in comparing LOS to the DS games, he would realize it had more in common with Rondo of Blood another great Castlevania game.

    Great game, poor review.

  • No theres 12 idiot

  • Not Castlevania

  • @MadHaTTe1992 whip, belmont, castles, dracula's origin story.....not a castlevania game? I bet you haven't even played it

  • @brunobb1 Dracula's origin story? Hardly, putting a scene at the end of the game and showing omg its Dracula! Does not count.

    And anyways, Mercury Steam was not making this a Castlevania game, they were making a standalone title and then Konami decided they wanted to put a Castlevania title on it.

    And its hard to call a game Castlevania when there isnt even CASTLEVANIA in it. Sure theres Carmilla's castle but there is no exploration, no weapon variety. ITs not a bad game, just not Castlevania.

  • @brunobb1 Having now played through it twice I am more charitable to it, its a solid game overall, biggest problems being is that it does not feel like a Castlevania game and a camera that is more dangerous than any actual enemies. This game is however, what Castlevania needs, a good, solid, console version of Castlevania. It would have been to easy for Konami to just declare the franchise dead, but that does not make this game immune to criticism.

  • This guys an idiot. How the hell does this not play like Castlevania? It has a member of the Belmont clan using a whip and its based on linear levels. Isn't that what the original Castlevania's were?! Symphony of the Night was great but it was a one and done game and should not represent the series. The awesome nintendo castlevania games started it all and this game is a great reboot of those.

  • @4SonnyD here here, my friend! If anything, this is the prequel (if you know what happens at the end) of all the castlevania games!

  • 7 of 10??? COME ON! THIS IS THE BEST GAME ON XBOX 360.

  • So the gameplay is fun, the graphics are amazing, the story is great, it's a very long game with various types of gameplay, but it only has 8/10 because the title is castlevania...dude...seriously­...

  • @brunobb1 *7

  • I was excited about a new 3D Castlevania but I'm slightly disappointed now. It still looks like a fun game though. Now if only I had a tv..

  • This looks like Shadow of the Colossus

  • is this an action adventure game or more of a hack n' slash?

  • why do so many ppl say "They just put Castlevania on there to sell more"....or maybe its a reboot. like ppl have said SO many times

  • I haven't played that many Castlevania games.. but isn't the basic premise of these games generally just whip, climb and solve puzzles? That's what the ones I've played have been like, and that's exactly what this looks like. So I don't know where all of these reviewers are getting off saying that this isn't Castlevania. The only major difference is the 3D environment, but even then I'm pretty sure there was one on the PS2 that was 3D. So it's not exactly anything new.

  • @l3awl3ag Play through the games before the PS2 was made and you'll see what their talking about.

  • what the big nitpick is, with some people- is that it doesnt take place entirely inside a giant gothic castle. Which is ridiculous. Since Castlevania 3 didnt take place all in the castle either.

  • @FlameG102

    its all Symphony of the Nights faults for people wanting Castlevania games to be set in the castle. most players only know Metroidvanias and think that they are the only ones there are, so when a Castlevania game comes out that isnt like that they instantly bash it to be just some ripoff or copy of recent action hack&slash games.

    I really liked this games aproach on the world/map system where you make your way to the end boss and not just wander around in castle, which was beautiful!

  • Awesome game

  • This game plays more like the original Castlevania than for example SOTN. I think people has forgotten that Metroidvania != Castlevania

  • I think it's a Castlevania game, personally. What about it does not "feel" like Castlevania?

  • i hate fixed cameras

  • reviewer is right it isnt a castlevania but it isnt bad as a game but its bad as a castlevania

  • I love ur reviews and all but why does every game get a very good 7 out of time. Every game u review gets a 7 unless its a really good game that everyone likes. Like mw2, that game was shit

  • ARE YOU ON DRUGS YOU DUMASS GAMEWIESEL THIS IS NOT THE FIRST 3D CASTLEVANIA YOU IDIOT!!!!! GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!

  • @YLoPlatano Castlevania 64 right?

  • every reviewer shut be forces to have a English accent like this guy : )!

  • I lived in England for a while, and did a lot of traveling. I can say, with a certain amount of authority, that your accent is fake.

  • @omegagilgamesh WOW u figured that out WOW. ofcourse its fake ive never been to england and i can tell its fake. i think he does it for shits and giggles

  • @lolllllllllllkkkkkkk Dude, what decade do you live in? You don't spell the word "wow" in capital letters these days, people will have no idea you're using the word and not the abbreviation for World of Warcraft. Sheesh.

  • Comment removed

  • @omegagilgamesh wat r u the text police a 12 year old girl shutup and go and play with ure barbie and fuckoff

  • @lolllllllllllkkkkkkk What?! Dude, I was trying to make a joke, I wasn't criticizing you. Calm down.

  • I've been playing castlevania: dracula x for the snes recently, and I've just gotten past a part were very large bats are flying down at you while carrying flea men, dropping them off and flying away. In Super Castlevania 4 there's a point were you're platforming over water while fighting the mermen that jump up to meet you. At the same time, stopping can mean death because there are mermen in the water trying to shoot you off. The point being is that Castlevania has always been about action.

  • I've noticed people making references to shadow of the colossus, god of war, etc, etc. Well, the developers said that this game was inspired by super castlevania 4. Taking a look back to that game, it was very action based, to the point that platforming was more of a side note. It was linear, but then again, all castlevania's before SotN (except for simon's quest I believe) were that way. Bosses were always larger than life in the series. Item crashes (Rondo of Blood) were big and flashy too

  • Castlevania Lament of Innocence on the PS2 was 3D too!

  • im new to castlevania, but are they always this bloody? im thinking of getting it for my nephew

  • @9movierox No, not really, but alot of times the bosses are very large and grotesque looking.

  • @9movierox im a veteren of castlevania, i havent played the DS games but out of all the ones i have played, they are not that bloody, except for Symphone of the night for the PSX and xbox 360 marketplace, great game by the way

  • This wasn't the first Castlevania in full 3D, fukin GamesWeasel.

  • @MaicoMoon I didn't say it was the first game in 3D. I said it brings the series into 3D (as in since the DS games) - the last one was so long ago on the N64!

  • @MaicoMoon he never said it was so your just showing what a retarded asshole you are.

  • @MrSirwidebottom Try distinguishing between the word your and you're, you dumb shit. It's obvious you're the retarded asshole here, and Castlevania LOI was 3D and on the PS2 prior to this one.

  • This game is AWESOME! Get it!

  • This game doesn't look like the kick ass castlevania that I like (Castlevania 1,3,4,5).It look more like a castlevania 64 and prince of Persia mix.

  • @markolipovec Yeah, I'd prefer some hack 'n slash action.

  • another GOW rip off

  • @calman160 Just like GoW was a DMC ripoff, right?

  • @Clonetrooper1139 Exactly.

  • @Clonetrooper1139 never played it before but could be a rip off

  • @Clonetrooper1139 And DMC was a river city ransome rip off :D

  • @Clonetrooper1139 every game is a ripoff from another game so yeah :k

  • @Clonetrooper1139 Onimusha??

  • @Clonetrooper1139it is not because it is extremely awesome

  • @TheMrkaratekid2000 It is. GoW creators even credit DMC for the inspiration. That being said, both are great and this new Castlevania is awesome.

  • it's a mix between god of war, shadow of the colossus and onimusha

  • Its an impressive game

  • I like rewiever's voice and accent ^_^

  • This game is fucking great! 9/10

  • wtf that is just stupid comment that you have to click to get the magic orbs. they made that so that you have a choice between dark or light magic

  • the combat system looks like god of war

  • 7/10 naaah how about an 8 :D

  • to tell the truth it kinda reminds me of God of war

    i guess.

  • I think this is one of the better games of the year,...

    And it doesn't feel like a Castlevania game cause its

    a reboot...

    they just named it Lords of Shadow at the time cause

    they didn't want it to clash with the castlevania which they were

    launching...

    I do think it needs a better score...

  • umm why does he only give like pure 7's everytime i see his reviews

  • This game is cool and all, but I never thought the old 3d ones were as bad as most said they were

  • nah konami didn't use the name to sell it if you know castlevania then you know that the developers always experiment with new ways to play it

  • Hmmmmmmmm this is good.

  • ........for once...gay review. everybodys bagging on the game because its not castlevania. yet it is...didnt know games get punished for trying something new, and SUCCEDING!

  • these gamesweasil reviews or whatever bother me.. never seen them give a game more than a 7/10 and theres something wrong with that

  • @fungas4201

    He gave 10/10 to Super Mario Galaxy 2

  • @fungas4201 He just gave Enslaved an 8!

  • not an 8?

  • First, I think it deserves a lot more than 7/10... but actually, I think it doesn't matter in this review. Really good things was said, and good opinions I totally agree with. Other big reviewers just bash the game. Score doesn't matter too much. It's what's said that counts.

  • 1:50 looks excactly like the movement from Prince of Persia sands of time.

  • mhm psm3 gave it 95%

  • Omg a review that doesnt mention god of war

  • @theskill123456

    They did take cues from God of War though, I don't know why people get so butt hurt and sensitive when people mention that.

  • @xxSUMBLKGUYxx i know, i said it because people are usually trolling when they say about gow but what better game to compare it to than gow?

  •  think I'll stick to my snes and nes versions of the games

  • @dexterme you should avoid the internet too.  by all means abandon all technological progress.

  • @starvedsanity ...cough

  • thumbs up if u are not first !

  • I played it and i must say i found it verry boaring but i dont like god of war also so thats maybe why.
