Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a Xbox 360 game publish from Konami and develope by Mercurysteam. Its a reboot to the Castlevania franchise and have no connection to the previous version. The story is set in 1047 during "the end of days". Brotherhoods of light, an elite group of holy knight sent Gabriel Belmont (the protagonist) on a quest to save the world arm with a whip called the Combat Cross. while he's at it, he is on a personal quest to fine his beloved wife murderer.
The storyline is abit to light. its like your just walking from level to level without few story development. buts its not that bad. Gabriel is voiced by Robert Carlyle( The world is not enough, eragon) and his mentor his voiced by Sir Patrick Steward ( Star track the next generation, x-men).
You can expect a good voice over and since Hideo Kojima gave a helping hand in it's developement. you can know for sure its a game u wont want to miss.
While the game is a reboot form the previous franchise, the game is not really that 'castlevania' since most of its battle are mostly on the outside that range from a decaying village to a hand grabbing swamp to a music box....it sounds funny/cute but it's actually kinda cool.
The battle system is pretty much the same as before; battling from goblin, vampires, werewolves to colossal titans using a whip. This time you can see a a lot more of the whip action rather than a gymnast with a ribbon. you can slice, dice, grab and pummel enemies. there is also a quick time action for grabs and certain cinematic battle. you can also upgrade you whip to add more of its destruction level. but can be a bit toooo pricey. and it take a while to get use to the battle system so expect alot of dying.
in the nutshell, its a good game. its pretty much similiar to God Of War but nowaday, which game cant be compared to that game. and i say its a pretty much a very good game. so good i'l give it a 4/5.
