The full video is a bit lengthy (9+ minutes) but it contains an entire boss encounter, so what better way to preview what you'll be getting yourself into should you decide to play Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2?
to learn more, follow the jump. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will be out on February 25th.
