Is castlevania lords of shadow worth buying?

Is castlevania lords of shadow worth buying? despite the review i see that the user score is way higher... so shall i buy it? i like GoW 3 a lot and i deffinately like castlevania games..

im not the person to ask, but oh well im throwin in my 02.c

I didnt like that game at all. Everyone compares it to Gow 3, and i feel thats a bad thing cause GoW 3 is way better. This game felt repetitive and uninteresting. Way over done. It was also annoying to see how the developers tried to really run with the whole 'epic' feel, and thats where it really pushed it over the top for me.

In fairness though i really didnt get to far into the game, so maybe i missed something. I do have a friend though who tried to disagree with me and made it about halfway through, but then he quit playing and wound up agreeing with me.

I am the minority, but i disliked it so much i felt compelled to share. This is all just my opinion, many others really enjoyed it.

thx a lot for your reply.

Well, in my opinion I have to disagree with hawk549. I really enjoyed the game and had one of the better endings in a game that I have seen in a really, really long time. Was it the best game I ever played, no. Was it worth playing, yes. The camera angle is a little annoying, but you get used to it. Also the DLC is fun to play also. On a side note, I love how people are comparing itand saying it is a ripoff of God Of War. I have played every Castlevania and God Of War game ever made. Similar play sure, many hack and slash games are. Remember this though, God Of War came out in 2005, Castlevania came out in 1986. So who's ideas came from who?

One of the most underrated games of 2010 - deserved a 9 (only problem is framerates but theyr'e only low during some cutscenes - the game looks PHENOMENAL)

I'm playing it right now, and think it's a great game. I would recommend it to any of my friends.

If there's one game i really think is underated this gen, it's Castlevania Lords of Shadow. Okay first things first, people complain that it's similar to God of War, why on earth would you complain it's similar to the best action game around? Personally i don't think it's that similar anyway, the only thing they have borrowed from God of War is the finishing moves, the whole layout of the game is different.

If you play this game on Hard difficulty, that's when the game really shines. I really enjoyed having to time all my blocks and counter attacks, and god of war is far too easy even on the hardest difficulty in the game, and yes i have completed them all on the hardest.

The game just has this certain feel to it, and i really love it. There are so many unique different types of enemies, and areas. That's why this game beats God of War if you ask me. I don't know how anyone can call it repetitive, it's one of the least repetitive action games in existance. It has platforming, lots of action and puzzles. What more can you ask for to keep things varied?

Overall it's one of the best action games i've played, and i'm just getting ready to platinum it on my Ps3 (after completing it on my xbox360) and that's how good it is. It's one of the most underated games around, and i'd rate it up there with God of War 3 anyday, especially noting that you get way more for your money considering it's about 3x as long as God of War 3 with much more varied gameplay.

If your a fan of action games you'll LOVE it! (sorry for the huge post)

My only complaint is the camera isn't rotatable/moveable so sometimes you have to run around for a different angle to see the action better, other than that I have no real complaints and really enjoy the game (though I am not that deep into it). I think it's a great game, good cutscenes, story seems good, and all around the battle system is alot of fun.

the thing is that its not a castlevania game i am a huge fan of the series and los is just another gow clone thats why it has good reviewselbert_b_23

Do not listen to what this guy says. It has has some things in common with GOW, but it's FAR from a clone.

Take it to the recommendation thread, please. Thanks.
