The game is really good, I'm very glad I bought it!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a very good game, and I can't wait for Lords of Shadow 2!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is one of the best in its category. A must buy!

The graphics and sounds are stunning. Challenging battle combos, very entertaining! I am very happy that I played it and I would recommend to anyone.

A wonderful game from Mercury Steam that gathers the best things of every genre. Action, exploration, puzzles, thriller, drama, and even beauty from the very evil. All of them in one game. The artist's work is simply delicious, and will surprise you in every chapter of the game. The combat system is just awesome and reminds the good old N64 brother. Just one more thing to say, if you have doubts on buying it. Forget about them, as soon as you watch some gameplays, the one and only thing you will do is this: eat your nails.

The pros start from astounding graphics, which fully utilize the PS3 GPU to a slightly renewed gameplay that focus on linear levels and pre-rendered cameras. The cons are that the camera and the gameplay aren't really up to the fast-paced action, and it could take a while to get used to it. Story-wise, the game is up to the Castlevania franchise: you'll be able to find all the old enemies as well as new surprising adversaries. If you like third-person action games, especially those with a gothic-fantasy atmosphere, the game could be a good choice for your collection. But the difficulty and the tricky movements could be an hindrance to most. The best thing is to try a demo and then decide whether to buy it or not at the price offered here, which more than good for this kind of game.

The atmosphere isn't as dark and gloomy as expected, but it's a great game. The bright and green landscapes alternate with dead forests, the dark, looming castle, and more... The game play is fluent and solid, combos always look new. Rather than getting boring levels with experience points, you get cool new animations. The basis of these combos is always the combat cross, your weapon. It looks a lot like the whip you get in other Castlevania games, and it's well thought out. The boss fights are great, every boss will throw something different at you, and they sometimes require as much thinking as the puzzles. The storyline was great, and kept me awake until the early hours of the morning. I can recommend this one to every fan of action-based games (similar to the God of War series, which is my only issue with is game), I'm sure you will enjoy!

Beautiful but very very difficult.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a deep product from the point of view of the dynamics. The game offers a wide variety of combat and is much more technical than God of War, much longer, and incredibly rich in secondary activities with plenty of secrets to discover. A game to play and play again!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a Great game, very fast shipping.
