As heel turns go, the transformation of
Gabriel Belmont from pious protagonist into the army swatting hell beast seen here is somewhat legendary!
Perhaps only tangentially following on
Lords of Shadow’s finale,
Belmont as
Dracul parallels his original form in an, at best, superficial manner.
Most notably absent is his signature combat cross- a mixture of chain whip and sharpened stake.
Meanwhile the most noteworthy addition is his ability to fly, suck the life from soldiers, magic up lightsaber whip things and turn into a gigantic smoke-dragon-bat-monster-dealie!!!
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is set to resurrect itself in 2013 and given the surprise success its forerunner enjoyed, rest assured clickonline.com will be keeping a close eye on this
Dracul character.
Sounds eerily familiar...
