I know Castlevania since childhood, and was enthusiastic from the beginning. I must say that it more than Lords of Shadow 1 Likes the gameplay. Graphic atmosphere is just wonderful to stunning! One feels in the middle instead of just splashing around here. So I think it is equally good compared to Lords of Shadow 1 only graphics and gameplay I find something better. The tragic story that touched me very much of part 1 continues here, and is just as exciting and tragic. I would be extremely over a third part! Lords of Shadow is my opinion as Castlevaniafan the first hour, the best series. I also find Gabriel Belmont is the date in lengths best, most charismatic and most interesting Belmont. Gabriel is exactly as Dracula in the first part an absolutely cool Sau;) I find it very unfortunate that it on the net, from criticism and some would like gamers who think that would taste and idea is just so trampled. Lords of Shadow deserves better. This game is awesome and as Castlevania and action adventure, almost unsurpassable. A musthave for every Castlevaniafan, Ps3 gamers, and fans of action adventure a la Resident Evil Devil May Cry. 4 I can describe it this way: It's kind of like Zelda Wii (which I also love very much), but in the Castlevania (Horror) robe. Do you something good and putting it to you. And a lot of fun
