Review: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Wasted Potential | Dualshockers

The original Castlevania: Lords of Shadow ended with the main character Gabriel becoming Dracula. This was a nice tease that promised great things for a sequel where players would get to control the Prince of Darkness in a modern setting. Unfortunately, the allure of playing as Dracula quickly vanishes after playing Lords of Shadow 2 for a few hours. What could have been the ultimate power fantasy fails due to a muddled story, imprecise mechanics and an overabundance of gameplay styles that never come together to form a unified whole.
