When I booted up Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, I prayed for the best. I hoped that someone was brutally honest with MercurySteam, the developers of the Lords of Shadow series, and gave them the constructive criticism that they needed to hear. Someone who could point out the specifics on why the original action-adventure game fell way short as a Castlevania experience.
