Quick Look: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

" How DARE they rip off Shadow of the Colossus like that?  Fuck this stupid wannabe God of War / Shadow of the Colossus / Prince of Persia wannabe.  I'm sure it's better than the 3d Castlevanias Konami shat out earlier, but it's not enough to make me interested.  Even if Patrick Stewart lent his considerable voice over talents.  Also, Aragorn. "

"Nervous cams" usually irritate me, but this one just feels right, almost as if it's vibrating to a pitch near my own.

Is it just me or are their heads a bit small for their bodies?

I like the look of this. I own  the original NES game, the tiger hand-held of simon's quest, and Symphony of the Night. While nothing like the 2D stuff it looks interesting.

Alex is playing a video game? What universe am I in? 

stuff the movies alex, back to the gaming !

if i think it hard enough, it may happen.

This is just too similar to SotC, and that is not good...

I've heard that if you install both discs to the hard drive and play using the second one IN the drive, you don't ever have to swap discs.

Aarrrghhh, I hate invisible walls, but the combat looks pretty refined.

Holy crap those Golems really are from SotC.  Haha.
 
Looks cool, I guess

Alex better do like a video review, bring back the old times!

After watching this and playing the demo, I want it.

I love being from the bay area, I got me hella orbs indeed alex

I've got a fool proof idea: Take the gameplay from God of War and Shadow of the Colossus then slap on the Castlevania brand name, it can't fail, right...? It work for Dante's Inferno (didn't it...?)
 
In conclusion:   

getting this when it drops down in price

They didnt sound too excited about the game. I think Jeff's meh  on the game, rubbed off on Alex.

In conclusion, lol.

I'm meh on how the rest of it looks, but god damn. That book looks stunning. I wish more menus looked that excellent and compelling. I just want to browse that all night long. And that's what she said.

@SPACETURTLE: Watch yourself...

There are some people who are CRAZY about this game!

I rented a while ago and decided to buy it instead of finish it on the rental and never got to it.

Pretty cheap now so I'll get it soon.

I wish some more games like this would come out that just have a move set and a weapon or two for the whole game. Everything has to be upgraded all the time in games like this these days.

This game is Amazing!!!

Ive honestly purchased this game years ago and have played less than 10 min. My back catalog is that insane.

ZOBECK!

this looks like a real snooze

One of the most nauseating cameras in video games.

The best 3D Castlevania game is Dark Souls. If only the whip was better

@sharpless: it’s been 10 years and I just picked the game up on a Steam sale so I figured hey I would check out what the fellas thought about it and was not expecting a Darmok reference. Immediately made my day. I hope all is well with you. 🖖
