Games Castlevania Lord of Shadows

[Talivar]

Anyone else get this?. Finished my copy today and enjoyed the gfx,music,story,atmopshere,replayability loads.

Tried the demo and thought it was a bad God of War clone. How does the full thing compare to the demo? Is the horse riding section really shite or is it just me?

 

[Talivar]

I found gameplay to be similiar to gods of war aswell but overall the game was way way better. IMO anyway

 

[ST^]

Way better than God of War? I know I only played the demo, but there's no chance of that being true. ¬_¬

The Story,setting,music,atmosphere do it for me. The gameplay itself is just like GOW with more puzzles. It also has better replay value due to fact after u complete each level a trial/challenge opens up for that level and the fact when u get more powerfull you can explore earlier levels to reach places and items you couldnt reach before, due to things like super strengh or double jump ect. Finally its size, its way way bigger than gow3 so you feel you get more value for your money.

That's a huge claim to make, one I've not seen backed up by most impressions of the game I've read.

 

[Talivar]

Most forums ive seen have had people who either love it or just like it. Almost every person who doesnt like so much either had different expectations of how a castlevania game should be or try to hard to defend and compare it to gods of war.

How in the world did Castlevania get a 7.5?? - IGN Boards
that thread is an example and gives a prety varied set of views.

Well I didn't really want to have it compared to God of War (I mean, unfair comparison...), I was just asking if the demo was an accurate representation of the game or not. Because the demo was shit.

 

[Talivar]

Oh didnt mean you m8, i mean ppl on forums who go crazy defending it lol. As far as demo goes i found it soso but prefered retail game much more due to getting into the story

It's Castlevania. I'll complete it

(wait for a price drop though...)

i can understand why the god of war fanboys are apprehensive, but after you get past the first couple of levels and start gaining combos this game gets really great. the combat system is good, the visuals are stunning and the exploring/puzzling elements are really great. think this will be one of the few single player games i actually complete this year.

Played the demo last night and was quite impressed, will wait for the price drop, though its a must buy because of Patrick Stewart narrating.

Not tried the demo but from what i've read people who actually have the game really like it, as others said though price drop will come very fast for a game like this as it won't sell great.

Defo will get it when its a tenner at christmas ;]
