What is it with boss battles? Why, oh why, is it so hard not to make them really annoying? The number of times we find ourselves saying, “Oh yeah, great game… awful boss battles, though” you’d think developers would have started to cotton on. If Platin...

lange Spielzeit , Lichtund Schattenmagie nützlich, sinnvoll und frisch, nette Kombos, sehr schöne Kulissen, teilweise coole Bossfights, super englische Sprecher, schöne Musik mit thematischem Bezug, sehr gute Checkpoints, teils hoher Anspruch an den Spieler, Level mit alternativen Wegen und Gründen wiederzukommen, gute bis exzellente Rätseltypen...

allerdings manchmal durch recht zähe und sich wiederholende Passagen begründet, Videosequenzen sind häufig etwas lang geraten, ... die allerdings zum Teil etwas schwach verglichen mit Griffattacken sind, ... die oft sinnlos lange in, keine deutsche Sprachausgabe, ziemlich neutrale Charakterzüge Garbiel Belmonts, viele unsichtbare Wände...

Renne und springe, töte und rätsele. Sei Kratos! Oder sein direkter Nachfahre Gabriel Belmont. Die Parallelen zum Altmeister Kriegsgott sind nicht zu übersehen, aber an und für sich gar nicht so wild. Denn God of War haben die meisten Genrefans sicher...

Over et Castlevania-reboot, som gør et så forbløffende godt job i at bringe en stor serie tilbage til frontlinjen.

Når Gabriel ikke just er nogen Prince of Persia, når det kommer til at kravle omkring i høj hastighed.

This return to MercurySteam's Castlevania universe is one that fans will want to sink their teeth into.I know several people that played MercurySteam's Lords of Shadow for a few hours before putting it down, citing that it felt more like a "gothic God...

Adds new gameplay elements to Lords of Shadow's gameplay; has a surprising amount of puzzles; "tobecontinued" twopart structure means the narrative doesn't feel tackedon or too abrupt.

Turns as Laura are too short; puzzles aren't terribly difficult; cliffhanger ending and short length leave you wanting more, despite interesting end plot development.

Now, before we go any further, there are two things you ought to know about Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: 1) it's a reboot and plays fast and loose with the Castlevania mythology. Well, actually, that's a bit of an understatement, as pretty much the on...

Konami describes Castlevania: Lords of Shadow as a reboot for the 25-year old franchise. I'd say it's an unrelated game that borrows the "Castlevania" name. None of the common gameplay elements you'd expect from the series are to be found here, nor doe...

I recommend Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, but not to Castlevania fans. Pretty much anything you would expect to find in a Castlevania game is not to be found here. But fans of combat-heavy action adventure games will have fun if they can excuse a lot o...

It's a beautifullooking game, Core combat mechanics are great, Music and voice acting compliment the game well.

Fixed camera creates a few problems, Some puzzles seem forced and aren't enjoyable, Just about everything in the game is derivative, Story loses focus on important characters.

Entertaining highs and frustrating lows punctuate a Castlevania game that--in an effort to redefine the series--loses its identity...

Snyggt som få. Bra berättande och läcker design gör spelet till en fröjd att titta på.

Lite för långt och en del brister i kontrollen och den låsta kameran.
