Remember that 7-minute-plus trailer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow from Tokyo Game Show? Konami’s got more where that came from, issuing a new, gameplay-filled preview of Mercury Steam’s take on Castlevania that can go all night.
OK, so it really goes for about 11 minutes and change. But it’s narrated by Jason “Lucius Malfoy” Isaacs and describes what Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, the greatest 3D hope the series has ever had, is all about. There’s a big focus on the characters, the combat and the various reasons why this Castlevania game really isn’t like any of the others.
If you’ve waited this long to learn about Lords of Shadow, it might be a good idea to grab a turkey leg and watch. You don’t have much time, as the game whips its way to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next week, specifically on October 5 in North America.

Wednesday, September 29, 2010 at 2:25 PMIts not a copy of Gody of War…..god of war is just the pinnacle of a certain game type, hack-n-slach.
Dante’s inferno was a copy because the game character, leveling up and everything mimiced god of war which was a shame.
Although the whip looks identical arguably Castlevania always had the whip and to lose that would be stupid.
The gameplay looks very similiar but I hope/beleive it will deliver a fairly different experience.
