“Castlevania: Lords of Shadow reinvigorates the franchise by borrowing from other games, adding its own wonderful magic system, and ratcheting up the epic factor to ludicrous degrees. It’s huge in scope, length, and depth, and it’s polished with obvious love and passion.” – Games Radar

“Whether you’re putting an end to lycanthropes, vampires, ghouls or animated suits of armor, Lords of Shadow’s combat never fails to excite — and never feels like filler stuck between sessions of cinematic spectacle.” – Joystiq
