Sorry for the offtopic.  My wife last year had a pretty present to me too:

I guess that all IGA haters are rejoicing now. Have fun with your fancy Belmont Dracula and rat stealth.

Spanish magazines were overly positive with los1 too. But I agreed with them so that 95 (!) is good news for me.

Para ser sinceros, playmania es un revista con una reputación muy dudosa, creo que es de las que le ponen un 95 a RE5  cosas así de exageradas, no dudo que Castlevania 2 se merezca excelentes notas pero no de esta revista

I'm very lackluster at spanish so it will take me awhile to read it. For me it has always been key words that help me in spanish and italian now that I think about it I need an italian that's non scholastic. but I do like that if I'm reading this right is that Los 2 is more technical than the first in combat and it sounds good not only there are alot of things that stated that's just not in the american ones. The skill tree,combat,ect but it does not bag on it for one section.

I think I got the jist of it now and I just woke up. Is Los2 really going to be that polarizing?

edit: http://www.play.tm/preview/81819052/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-2/

this is a preview but I see the factory and while it's just a picture it seems well detailed.

i agree that reviews are just the same as individual opinions and no one should rely solely on a review(s) they read on the internet, but the fact remains, if theres a common element or complaint that consistent in each review you read, good or bad, then theres some truth to that. its not all just bullshit from "noob reviewers" or haters.

Right, but if stealth is the worst part, then I'm fine with that. Didn't expect much else.

But Neobelmont makes a very good point, one that I've been trying to stress: these bad reviews miss an awful lot. Sure, tell me the stealth is bad or that the pacing is a bit bloated, but don't gloss over everything else in the game just to tell me that.
