Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I can tell you this and I can tell you right now, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a fantastic game. Its a title that should definitely not get passed up and I strongly recommend it!
LOVE
Beautiful. So beautiful...almost too beautiful. Yes, C:LoS is a great looking game, with its detailed textures, fluid models, awesome effects, and pristine environments it is a pretty game to behold. Combot-wise, C:LoS is very similar to God of War, but has its own unique flair and magic system. Goblins, lycans, vampires, stone giants, spiders, you name any mythological monster and Castlevania just might have it! Platforming and puzzles are sure to please as well as the wonderfully told story (Patrick Stewart, I am in love with you). The music is pleasing to the ears and its sound is epic and rich with orchestrated tone. The game has 12 different chapters, each taking a few hours or more depending on skill to complete so as far as the main story goes, its a good length. Also, there are many collectibles to obtain (what game doesn't have any?), so the replay value is a plus. C:LoS makes a very great impression!
LIKE
The book style menu is nice and when you want to upgrade a power or get a new combo, there's a hand-drawn type sketch displaying what it looks like which is cool.
MEH
Hmm..can't think of anything.
DISLIKE
The combat can be very hard and really frustrating so be careful of which difficulty you choose! Also, the stationary camera is fine and all, but it can be a bit annoying at times.
HATE
N/A
Really, you can't go wrong with this game. Rent it and have a great time!
9/10

Castlevania - Lords of Shadow,

This game is beautiful to say the least. There is so much detail put into the backgrounds, boss battles, and combat features. The gameplay is much like everybody's favorite God of War. Shadow of Colossus also seemed to inspire the developers as some of the bosses are huge titans that you climb and pick apart at their weak spots. You use a whip that is upgradable as well as many other weapons, but the whip is the most effective. The story is a little lacking, but is made up for by the impressive visuals.

Pros:
-Beautiful Visuals
-Epic Bosses
-God of War combat engine
-Weapon system

Cons:
-Lacking Story
-A little repetative
-Not much to replay for once beat
