Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Review

Note: I tried to keep the review as spoiler-free as possible and even the damn trailer dropped a rather large spoiler, anyways, here's my review of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.
Due to the fact that I lack writing skills, I will review the game like this:


Available Platforms: PS3(Reviewed), Xbox 360

The Good:
-Diverse storyline with a surprise and an unexpected twist at the end.
-Long Game that can last over 26 hours.
-Structured Combos that focus on both attack and defense.
-Epic Boss Fights.
-Great Soundtrack.
-Terrific Voice Acting.
-Great Graphics.
-Great Level Design.
-Replay Value.
-Completely Identical on both PS3 and Xbox 360.

The Bad:
-Platforming mechanics are a little wanky and they can often result in cheap deaths.
-The Story can sometimes focus away from important characters, making it easy for someone to lose track of the plot.
-Some puzzles feel a bit unnecessary and forced.

The Ugly:
-The Frame-Rate can drop dramatically in a few areas.
-Lack of Originality(Button Mashing Grabs, Shadow of the Colossus style bosses e.t.c.).

Overall: 8.9

I might rent this game. I don't care about the framerates, I Played Fallout NV on PS3 :face:
