OK, bottom line, is the DLC a game changer? In the months since LoS came out and I beat it, I finally went through GoW 1 and 2 in entirety...and I realized the extent of inspiration LoS took from them (which was extensive by the time I completed GoW2). Ironically, though, by GoW2, the platforming was ages better than LoS. I've recently gone back and played a little of LoS, and despite being a solid game, I just find it bland from a Castlevania perspective. There's not much about it that makes me want to replay it. It doesn't ooze Castlevania too much more than GoW does. Will the DLC convince me otherwise? I just wasn't crazy about the direction LoS took Castlevania in (not that I was loving IGA, either, mind you), so I'm not confident about DLC.
