For the PS2. Second Castlevania game to grace the system (I think its the second at least...)

Lament of Innoncence was just passable for fun.

Curse of Darkness is just depressing goddammit...

I'm sorry, so sorry. I love Castlevania, I really do, but they seriously need to stick to side scrollers. Curse of Darkness is so... so boring! It has the air of a horror game, which sort of makes you uncomfortable... but then, nothing happens. There are so little enemies, and whenever you do find one you kill it in one shot before it can do anything. The cutscenes are the cheesiest things I've ever seen. They are so overly dramatic that its hilarious. The graphics are okay, they're not to the perfection anyone would want them to be though, but they're merely passable; I'd give them a C+ if they needed a grade... that gives me an idea...

What I think of Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Graphics: C+

Gameplay: C- (its easy to play. Its fucking boring. There are mildly confusing aspects. Nuff said.)

Storyline: F- What the hell does it have to do with Castlevania's storyline? NOTHING thats what. Its some guy... who's going after some guy, who has Dracula's powers. The only part that makes it seem like Castlevania is the fact that if you can beat the game, which you probably won't cause you'll get so bored of it so fast, you can play as "Trevor Belmont". I don't know, it looks like somebody needed to capitalize on the Castlevania name. Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but it just doesn't cut it so far.

Don't waste your 50$ to try and make your own opinion. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take my word for it and just rent it if you need to see for yourself.

If you've played it, put in your own good word. I really really hated this game, it was incredibly dissapointing, and if you've read the Dawn of Sorrow thread, you know how much I liked previous Castlevania games.

Yeah, I'm not a 3D CV fan myself. And it's true I've heard tons of people say this is even worse than Lament.

Funny thing is, is that I really enjoyed Castlevania 64. Even though it was 3D, and pretty weird, I thought it was a great game. But yeah, being a huge sidescrolling fan, I've always favored the old formula for CV games, and always will.

I might pick this game up or Lament when they're dirt cheap, but for now they just don't interest me.

I'm waiting for the Harmony of Dissonance + Aria of Sorrow Double Pack.

That Double Pack is gonna kick so much ass, so hopefully it'll make up for the sheer polly-wolly crapiness of CoD. Lament of Innocence was barely tolerable, I would imagine that they would learn from their mistakes. I mean, Dawn of Sorrow just came out and that was an awesome game. Its like it wasn't even made by the same people.
