   Much like the first, amazing game, this one has some split opinions. I had a tremendous amount of enjoyment with this game. The negativeMuch like the first, amazing game, this one has some split opinions. I had a tremendous amount of enjoyment with this game. The negative reviews from "professional" critics are unfortunately a trend with games that are released on current gen hardware only when next gen consoles are out on the market. I know for a fact that sites and magazines associated with retail outlets are encouraged to give these types of games mediocre reviews to encourage console sales. If you read or watch reviews done by real gamers on various blogs and YouTube, you'll see that they all loved LOS2. Combat is fluid, dynamic and satisfying, the art direction is top notch (although I will concede the factory settings are a bit drab) and the story is a notch above most of the drek from the likes of CoD and Assassins Creed. The stealth is kind of shoehorned in and unnecessary but thankfully it's a very small part of the game. Wholeheartedly recommend.… Expand

   Such a tremendous game .Amazing graphics for a little company like Mercury Steam,such a great story with lots of twists,such a dark and murkySuch a tremendous game .Amazing graphics for a little company like Mercury Steam,such a great story with lots of twists,such a dark and murky environment ideal for the actions of the mighty Dracula.Cool bosses with noticeably details and voracious combat with challenges.I liked this game because they made a sequel different from the other castlevania games and this sometimes is a way to kill monotony in the series of a game.If you dont like it's just your pathetic taste,go support your COD games like always and let us enjoy these marvels!… Expand

   I was a fan of the first one. You do fight the camera a bit (it is easier to keep it fixed) but the graphical improvement is amazing. This isI was a fan of the first one. You do fight the camera a bit (it is easier to keep it fixed) but the graphical improvement is amazing. This is my new favorite hack n slash. It beats out God of war 3 by far. How it is getting mediocre reviews blows my mind. There is way more to upgrade and the reward for beating enemies using skill is just DOPE! Even taking out regular minions is a lot of fun! Maybe it was the setting that subconsciously turned people off. I can only tell u that you must own this game. Since the reviews are mediocre it will be on sale soon, so pick it up. It is long. I assumed I would beat it in two days non stop gaming! NOPE. You will thank me for my honesty. I hope the dlc isn't a disappointment like the extremely difficult first game. Enric Alvarez.....next time keep the camera fixed. (Creator of the game) 9-10 A REAL MANS GAME...NO NONSENSE BLOODY ACTION....PUT THE KIDS TO BED AND DRINK SOME BLOOD!!!… Expand

   for clarity's sake, i am going to admit that I not only have not played CLOS 1, and neither have i finished this one, and i will most likelyfor clarity's sake, i am going to admit that I not only have not played CLOS 1, and neither have i finished this one, and i will most likely never do so. but I AM a big fan of character action games, and i happened to have this game in my steam library and thought i would give it a try. i sincerely wish i didn't. this game spits in the **** mouth of action games, decent writing, and fun in a way I have never seen before, and i think the only thing keeping me from expressing the fullest is the 5000 character limit on Metacritic user reviews.
   
   THE STORY
   it's **** boring. who are you? some **** vampire from the previous game?. what are you doing? trying to **** kill yourself (which totally isn't just for shock value and edginess) why does hobo Dracula want to die? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
   
   THE GAMEPLAY
   I came to this game for combat, and within the first 5 hours, i was met with 15% **** awful button mashy gameplay, 30% boring as sin uncharted wannabe platforming 10% stealth sections, which are everyone's favorite part of games, 10% walking segments, which I'm not even going to elaborate on, you know they **** suck, and 9001% **** cutsenes featuring, and with no hyperbole, some of the blandest characters in any piece of fiction I have ever seen! Gabriel is playing catch up with Kratos in terms of personality (and kratos already barely has a personality), let alone some of the best action game protagonists, like Dante and Bayonetta. i would go into detail on the other characters, but I can barely remember most of their names!
