Anyone played this game yet? I have yet had the chance to rent it at the video store, and I don't exactly want to drop 50$ on it until I know its worth the money.
-
Not yet, although I'd like to. I'd want to see it first, though, as I think the Castlevania series has been somewhat hit and miss.
-
What are you talking about Tage? There have only been 2 bad castlevania games. Castlevania 64 and the one on the Genisis (bloodlines). Castlevania 1-3 (nes), Super Castlevania (SNES), Dracula X (PC Engine), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS), Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (GBA), Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA) and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA) were all very good games.
-
Well, I never much liked Castlevania 1, 3, or Super Castlevania. I guess what I'm saying is I only like the ones with strong RPG elements.
-
then you woudn't like Lamaent, it's more like super Castlevania (which by the way I think is the best one) and Devil May Cry.
-
Although Symphony of the Night was my favorite Castlevania, DMC series and Armored Core series are my two favorite video games. I think I'll wait another week and see if I can manage to rent it before just going out and buying it.
-
Actually, I've been checking Lament's reviews and such, and I think it's probably a very decent game. I never played DMC much, but it definitely looked cool. So maybe I'll rent Lament sometime. Gamespot mentioned that it's only like a 10 hour game, so I doubt I'd bother buying it.
-
10 hours?? I think I'd rather buy Return of the King. It probably even has more replay value.
-
Yay- my review has finally been posted by these really generous dudes at the twg. Thanks a lot.
-
yah, sometimes it just takes a while because we have a bunch in.
Thanks for the submission!
-
Nice website u got there. Loads fast too.
-
oh, thanks. It's low on content and needs a serious recoding to be easily updated, but I like how it looks, myself.
-
??? TWG is easly updateable SE. It's not easly Modifyable, but most sites are that way. And the only ones that are were designed with that purpose in mind.
-
I think he was talking about his own website, not TWG.
-
heh, yeah, I was. That was my assumption since w_men and I had previously talked about his web site off-forum, and uh.. I'm ego centric, I'll admit it. The "there" is what did it. If he'd been talking about TWG, I would have expected "here"
-
My comment was directed towards SE's personal web site. But TWG is a great site too.
-
I was just waiting to see who'd be first to misinterpret that. I'm glad Sprig didn't disappoint me.
-
I aim to please

Well I picked this tital up at the Ultamte Electronics sell that I mentioned in another thread. And it's realy fun. While the review WM (http://www.timewastersguide.com/view.php?id=616&dep=1) wrote for us did a good job briefly expalining the game, there are so many good things to praise about this game. First off the atsmophere is amazeing, both music wise (which is probaly the best VG music I've heard in a while) and scenery. There's a lot of detail in things like paintings, statues and other stuff. Konami did a good job adding a heavy christian theam to the artwork, and the paintings aren't blurry or fuzzy like you get with somegames.
The combat is realy fun if you like action/adventure games. I've probaly only got a 10th (if that) of the weapon skills and it's more then most of these games give you. Also there's a menu system that you use in real time (the reivew mentioned that the game didn't pause when you accesed it), but it works realy well and dosen't distract from the combat.
if you've got a PS2 and want a good action/adventure game this is a very good one. I've heard it's short (i've played it for about 2 hours and have a 17.4% discovery) so you might want to rent it. Mr.P, I know you'd love this game.
-
Mr.P, I know you'd love this game.
Yes, I bet I would. I love Castlevania in all of its forms...I own the latest GBA title for it (Sweet, Sweet Gameboy Player) and am hunting down the other two which are OOP. Maybe I'll borrow a friend's PS2 someday and check it out.
-
I am wondering after you beat it if the game has a lot of replay. I still want to get this game, and I wouldn't care too much if it is short if there's also a lot of replay. A short game doesn't bother me all that much, its more how long you can play it before its just boring and you don't care about it anymore. Like Devil May Cry 2, that was a really fun game that is short. It has decent replay value because if you beat it muliple times you can unlock different features like new characters and levels. Then you have a game like Vagrant Story that has so many things you can do that you could play it through a dozen times and not achieve them all. Then you have a game like Final Fantasy II that once you've beat it, there's really nothing left to do and its not even fun anymore (unless you play it like 10 years later, but that's almost more of nostalgia than actual enjoyment).
-
Dude, there's an entire soundtrack to be unlocked. The game also has a lot of hidden rooms and stuff. I'd suggest that you buy this title.
-
The games only 30$ now, I don't know why...yeah, it's an ok game. To me, it got kind of repetitive, but it was really fun, especially once you get all the combos and spell orbs.
