    Put 8, because he began to get acquainted with the universe of Castlevania with this game. From the pros, I will immediately note: a Good plot, the ending of which was the cherry on the cake, the expansion of the game's Laura through various notes, notes, diaries, etc., a variety of bosses, a system of turns and blocks. Of the disadvantages immediately catches the eye: 1) the camera isPut 8, because he began to get acquainted with the universe of Castlevania with this game.

    In the longtime gamers scene, they always talk about castlevania games, which are only good in 2D versions. This game to my taste is the exception, good story, gameplay, music is a jewel that you must play.

    Benim için oynadığım en eğlenceli beni oyunun başında inanılmaz içine çeken ama ikincisi ile beni felaket mutsuz eden bir oyun. Bulmaca kısımları bazen sıkabiliyor.

    Sehr gutes Gameplay, das klettern sorgt zwischen durch für etwas Abwechslung, neben dem Kämpfen. Das Spiel hat eine gute spielzeit ( bei mir 15 Stunden.) Außerdem hat das game eine gute Story die schön voran getrieben wird.

    The game is good, has the right challenge, and re-does Castlevania's mythology really well. The combat, while tough is rewarding, most of the time, the puzzles and upgrades are good and add variety. The parkour can be annoying, and the puzzles and combat can be less reward then I'd like but otherwise it's great. I not a huge fan of the level select but is not bad and it works.

    The franchise needed this. It's not remotely original and it occasionally threatens to drown under the weight of its own bluster, but it's also clever, challenging, bewilderingly pretty in places and a ripping good yarn.

    While the fixed-camera isn't always your friend and the platforming relies too much on trial-and-error death, this is still one hell of a tight package. Give Castlevania: Lords of Shadow a chance to sink its fangs into you and you'll be surprised about how exquisite and long lasting its embrace can be. [December 2010 p74]

    Fabulous action game with nice riddles and cool fights, but with lacks in camera perspectives.
