GameInformer: "At E3 we got a look at Dracula at the height of his power, but during a demo at Comic Con, we got to see him in a more frail state."
From memorable boss fights to chilling lore revelations, here's why Lords of Shadow 2 may be the most underrated Castlevania game.
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.
it was ok. but the hide and seek BS was some of the dumbest stuff in the world.
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.
Four great games are on the way for Xbox Live Gold members this month.
Batman: The Enemy Within – The Complete Season.
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.
Sonic Generations.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
I really liked lament of innocence and Lords of shadow! Havent tried the other 3d games. But ive played most of the 2d games!
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.
castlevania lords of shadow is a very good game, i hope the sequel fixes some of the minor yet frustrating issues like
bad camera angles
too many puzzle rooms, towards the end of CLOS it was one room after another of puzzles, and some of them weren't as hard as they were frustrating because you had to jump or roll at a give point but camera got in the way
combat was a lot of fun and so was fighting huge bosses, but again some of the bigger bosses were made harder because a lot of times you couldn't tell where to attack because the camera got in the way
don't get me wrong if you haven't played the 1st go ahead give it a shot its a must play, but the sequel seems to have improved a lot. Whats surprising is we still don't know a release date and there is very little fan fare for this game
I absolutely can't wait for Lords of Shadow 2. I loved the first game...from the combat to the narrative to the graphics and atmosphere...it was just an amazing experience all around.
I also can't wait to get the first game for my PC when it comes out next month. It was such a great game, but the framerate on consoles detracted somewhat from the experience. Finally I'll be able to play it with 60fps and gorgeous image quality.
