Even Dracula needs help sometimes. Players will get the Void Sword pretty early in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, and judging by this video footage, will proceed to lay waste to enemies.

The sword also has another side to it: When it strikes an enemy, it adds some of that enemy's health to Dracula's.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 comes out on February 25 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Digital subscribers to Game Informer can check out our review here.

For more on the game, here's a look at the Toymaker boss fight.

I'm pretty excited for this game. I wish GI would just hurry up and upload the review on the site.... LOL

Stoked for this game, loved the void sword in the demo. I think Mercury brought some really interesting and fresh ideas to the second LOS. Dracula's story has always been a favorite of mine including film.

I have to say...this game looks amazing...and I'm not even a fan of the series.

I've had my doubts about the game since the pathetic DLC for the first game. The review by GI confirms my doubts. They gave it a 6 or 6 and a half. They screwed up what could have been good. I wonder if this will be the end of Castlevania?

Was that a giant predator that he just stabbed in the face?

I really enjoyed the first one but GI's rating of 6 has me a little hesitant to buy it now.

Some things Im still wondering about this game. Is this still in modern time? In the E3 2013 trailer it showed an aged/weakened Dracula in a modern day city. Do we still get that in the game? Most of the time you only see the innards of Castles and that one trailer where he fights off an army which still looks like medieval times. Also can we change costumes to the old looking Dracula?

Absorbing enemy health...luv it

I find it hard to believe this game is a six.
