Bar none the best Castlevania game to date. YOU HEAR THAT KONAMI! Bring this style to the 3D realm.

Exploration. Gothic Theme. Power-Ups. Great Music. Perfect Pacing. lots of Items. Huge variety of Enemies. Secret Areas. Well made puzzles.

I really love the ambiance of this game. From the very start this world is just dripping with grit. The boss fights aren't too tough, but if you're like me you like feeling overpowered. Additionally, this game has several play modes. I don't want to spoil anything, but you can play as people other than Alucard. Or as a modified Alucard ;)

MUST MUST MUST BUY! That is if you like fun games...

I hope you love it as much as I did! Enjoy

Wow. Gamespot really wants me to write a long review. Haven't I said enough! Buy this game! Seriously!? Buy it!

So....I am playing the new Castlevania Lords of Shadows. Why on earth is this game NOT set in a castle. It is CASTLEvania. SERIOUSLY KONAMI!? Why am I fighting in a Jungle? Why do I care about Jungle type things? I don't I promise. Put this in a castle. Have Bad A Music like in SOTN. Make it gothic, stop being so Jungly, and stick to the basics. Vampires, ghosts, goblins, Dracula, Death and a metro sexual protagonist.

BUY THIS GAME!
