What at first seems like an admirable attempt to carry on the series ends up being a parody of it's former self.
When I first started looking at screens and videos for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate (what a long title.) I was a little disappointed to see that Konami had not returned to the classic 2D sprite based gameplay of the classic Castlevania games. While it is not quite as good or fleshed out as it’s older incarnation, this entry in the series will help pass the time and hopefully introduce more people to one of my favorite franchises of all time.
