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?
