• Reviews around control (3.49 of 5)

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Playstation 3

    • The elements are very forgiving, which is good because the controls are lousy.
    • On its own merits, the game looks very polished, the controls are satisfactorily intuitive, and the variety of gameplay elements makes it a worthwhile weekend rental
    • The graphics are 10/10 the controls are good (
    • If you like third-person action games which has puzzles to solve, giant bosses, easy controls, great story, and wonderful scenery then this game is for you.
    • Responsive controls, good level design and puzzles.
    • The controls, in my opinion, would have been better if they were an exact copy of GoWIII
    • Controls: controls are fine for the most part until you get into the platforming areas of the game.
    • The controls are frustrating, the camera angles are bad, and the game is hard.
    • but once you master all the controls and timing it doesn't matter what difficulty you're playing
    • Fixed camera angles in a 3D environment and loose, over responsive controls will be more of a villain than the bad guys of this game.
    • The controls make you feel like you are less controlling the character as suggesting what he do.
    • The controls were inconsistent; sometimes you pressed down to drop
    • The camera will sometimes work against you (happens to me anyway) when trying to time a block for a parry, but other than that, the control is great, and the whip mechanics are pretty much near-perfect
    • If they wanted to do a God of War style game, that's not a bad idea, but the game should have been far less linear and had better controls.
    • Decent controls, sometimes a little awkward
    • The controls were easy for me to learn.
    • Gameplay is good and the controls are very smooth and responsive.
    • This game is awe inspiring, with impressive controls and powers, andamazing graphics and was highly exalted by the media, scoring a "9" in Game Informer Magazine
    • Along with annoying controls and shockwaves, there are times where the camera angle is very poor
    • The controls are sharp, no slacking in that department
    • The time you spend working the control to accomplish a task is ridiculous
    • The controls are sharp, no slacking in that department
    • i felt i got a good value from the trade, game has nice graphics, controls, and fluid motion
    • Decent controls, sometimes a little awkward
    • It's a hack n' slash and there will always be the 'light' attack button, the 'heavy' attack button and a grab and jump
