What an amazing game since LoS 1 ive beeb hooked and 2 is everything i hoped it would be and this dlc just adds the cherry to the top....

nope1113696d ago

Minus the stealth sections and disappointing last boss battle, it was a really good game.

silvacrest3696d ago

i swear i got lost in this game more then any other game i have ever played and yeah, the stealth was terrible and took away from the gameplay

the last boss was also pretty bad too, oh well LoS1 was pretty good, i will just keep that in mind

cleft53696d ago

The problem is that the stealth sections constituted a large enough part of the game for them to be more than just an annoyance and some of the puzzles was just really poorly done. But when the game was just about kill stuff, fighting bosses, and getting ridiculous story with great voice acting the game was really fun. But their is a lot to overlook to get to that fun.

"The problem is that the stealth sections constituted a large enough part of the game for them to be more than just an annoyance"

Not really. The stealth sections were few in-between and VERY short.

techumseh19823696d ago

pretty good game but the ending was so weak.

silvacrest3696d ago

yeah

*SPOILER*

didn't he do all of this so he could die using the combat cross? it didn't even look like he changed his mind, more like he just forgot and went home

Ezz20133688d ago (Edited 3688d ago )

*SPOILER*

that's because he has his son this time
at first his memory wasn't back to him yet so he was doing this just to die until his memory come back to him and remember that he had a deal with his son
and was doing all this to get to satan and zobek

also if you notice , you can it in his face
he saw something in that mirror of fate before he crash it at the end and that's why he didn't kill himself yet
it mean this is not the end of lord of shadows
they will bring another sequal

Lords of Shadow 2 Is Castlevania's Most Underrated Title

From memorable boss fights to chilling lore revelations, here's why Lords of Shadow 2 may be the most underrated Castlevania game.

Gamerking821291d ago (Edited 1291d ago )

Well i enjoyed my time with it and thats all that matters too me, i could not care less what others thought. Please bring 3 out Konami or at least a 1 and 2 remasters.

morganfell1291d ago

Same here. I own it on PS3 and PC and love the title. The soundtrack is amazing and the tone they paint for the character of Dracula with Robert Carlyle's great voice work is perfect.

mrsolidsteel201290d ago

Same here, I’m a huge castlevania fan, have all of the games. Even the remake that was made on the Wii.

And I have the PS3 and PC versions of both games as well.

darthv721290d ago

They look really cleaned up on the xbo through bc. The LoS games are some of my favorites.

Bennibop1290d ago

Have been playing 1 and 2 on PS now and it's definitely better than i remember

FreeckyCake1290d ago

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is way more underrated than this one

bananacrust1290d ago

it was ok. but the hide and seek BS was some of the dumbest stuff in the world.

moriarty18891290d ago

great game. have it playable on my xbox one thru BC.

rgraf771290d ago

I remember the intro being fun an action packed. Then the game became "OK" with a lame hub system and sneaking around as a rat. The modern time frame levels weren't the great either. Lord of Shadows 1 was much better and I wish they had continued with that formula.

I'm a huge Shantae fan, but this selection is weak. It's official, MS is definitely skimping on GWG in favor of GP.

I mean...I guess LoS 2 is cool.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1515d ago

Don’t you mean it’s “your opinion “ that MS is skimping on GWG? I happen to like LOS2 and will be glad to play through it again. And GP is a PAID service don’t you think that a PAID service should offer better quality games? Yes yes I know XBL is also a paid service but that’s a different conversation

gangsta_red1515d ago

No it's an actual fact. Every comment I leave is a fact.

"And GP is a PAID service don’t you think that a PAID service should offer better quality games?"

Yes, I actually do think that a PAID service should offer better games, but as you also made mention and casually dismissed XBL is a PAID service and don't you think a PAID service should offer a better selection of games?

djl34851514d ago

@gangsta_red

XBL is a paid service for ONLINE SERVICES aka online multiplayer. The free games given every month is just a bonus. Stop bitching.

Finished Batman TEW a few months ago. It was the second worst TT game I've played. Really didn't enjoy it.

I hope those that do play it get more enjoyment out of it than I did.

darthv721515d ago

Sonic generations and LoS2.... hell yeah. My 360 has been itching to play these.

nevin11515d ago

As a non Xbox gamer, why are the free games availability scattered around.

I mean Batman is available the whole month

Castlevania is available March to the 15th

Shantae is available starting March 16th

Sonic is available the 16th-31st.

Has always been like this?

shabz6661515d ago

Yep it’s always been like this. It was weird then and it’s weird now

SpeedDemon1515d ago

Yeah its been like that. They do 2 games at the 1st of the month and then the other 2 on the 15th, some of the games are available for longer periods, it's depends on what they work out with the publisher .

Smellsforfree1514d ago

You just have to "claim" it from the store within those time frames so it doesn't matter that much to people who are interested, but I agree it is kinda weird.

autobotdan1515d ago (Edited 1515d ago )

Awsome!! Great games!

Terrifyingly Bad: A Look Back At the 3D Castlevania Games

If you decide to play a Castlevania game, make sure it's in 2D. Unfortunately, the series has never been able to make the jump from 2D to 3D successfully. Publisher Konami has tried. Six times in fact, but whether trying to build it in-house or with a third party developer, they never captured the essence of the series or make a good game for that matter. So just to be sure you know what to look out for, here are the six 3D Castlevania games that have been made.

isarai1648d ago

I loved the hell out of lords of shadow, lords if shadow 2 had its moments but just didnt leave as much of an impact on me as the first did, still loved it though. They are both great games IMO, maybe not the best "Castlevania" games but great games in their own right.

RememberThe3571648d ago

Yeah that first game was legit good. Really wish they hadn't taken a step back for the second, this series really looked great in 3D.

AK911647d ago (Edited 1647d ago )

According to one of the former devs of Mercury Steam the higher ups kept interfering with the sequel to the point where the game was nothing like what the dev team had envisioned for the sequel so we got the mess that was Lords of Shadows 2.

PhoenixUp1648d ago

I enjoyed Lament of Innocence and Lords of Shadow. They were entertaining titles and I wouldn’t mind trying Lords of Shadow 2 on PS Now.

Just because a game isn’t GOTY worthy does not mean it’s not worth playing. You could do a lot worse than those exceptional titles.

Abcdefeg1648d ago

Curse of darkness was ahead of its time

Hedstrom1648d ago

I really liked lament of innocence and Lords of shadow! Havent tried the other 3d games. But ive played most of the 2d games!

gangsta_red1648d ago (Edited 1648d ago )

I don't know why Castlevania: Lament of Innocence gets a bad rap. It was one of the best in the series at that time and really was a compliment to the Devil May Cry 3rd person style of action that was getting popular at that time.

I rented it on a fluke and was seriously surprised on how good it was. So much so I went out and bought a used copy of Curse of Darkness and instantly returned that trash.

The problem with Nintendo 64 games is they all tried to mimic the Mario/Zelda 64 style of gameplay and how could they not with that whacky ass N64 controller. Almost every game outside of Nintendo's own felt horrible and incomplete.
