I love Lords of Shadow. It's not really a Castlevania game in the sense that the gameplay's more God of war than SOTN but I enhjoyed it alot. I'll be looking forward to the sequel. It's possibly my favourite series Castlevania. I really do enjoy them.

SotN is not really a Castlevania game since the gameplay's more like Metroid than Castlevania
Bullshit. You must not have played very much Castlevania.
SOTN is more like Castlevania than Metroid Prime is Metroid. Metroid Prime did almost a complete change in genres while SOTN is still side scrolling action. It just so happens that you can now level up your character. Going from level to level to having one huge map is really not that big of a change either. It just makes it a bit more non linear. Big whoop
Castlevania started off as an action platformer, SotN turned it into a action RPG adventure game. The IGA games have almost 0 challenge in the actual platforming opting to have more exploration and making all the challenge in the combat.
There was an entire change in design not just "making the map bigger".
