Castlevania - Curse of Darkness

[rb]

Just played a little bit of the new castlevania for ps2/xbox in work here , I gotta say its a bit different than I expected. Don't know if its just me but from what I've seen the game doesnt have the same castlevania feel. I don't particularly like the camera for some reason could just be me though. The music is great though, got some of the mp3's from the castlevania dungeon. Fans of the castlevania music will not be disappointed.

Anyone else playing this game ?

yes. I find it is complete sh!t. This game boring no @ss.......walk....fight.....walk fight........not even combo fighting.....nothing. Static and boring level design and enemies. I find Lament of Innocence is better. I dont understad......... the Castlevania for the DS and GBA running things...they MAD. WTF goin on.....Konami should stop being so early 90's with these games....and do something about them graphics please. It look like they STILL using hte same engine from 2 years ago.

It was THAT bad? And to think I liove the series so much that i contemplated actually buying a PS2 just to play a few specific game, castlevania being one of them, the concept of the castlevania atmpsphere, replayability and total imersion combined with kick a$$ 3D graphics seemed too good to be true, seems it was just that. I wonder if path of Neo also sucks a$$. That was also one of the few games i was going to buy the PS2 for. Any news on that Shivadee?

im "aquiring" PoN right now. If i dont get it in time Gamefly will bring it for me this week. Im anticipating a good game.....but we know SHiny has been known for f*cking up Matrix games. I played the demo and E3 and it was very mad.....all the same beat em up fun there iwth better colision physics and graphics....but then we still hoping for good and CONSISTENT gameplay.

I don't care if the game sucks or not, I would still like to play it. Just because I loved all the Castlevania games since the first title came out on NES.
