- The Bottom Line:
- "Highly addictive"
Story: it's really just a typical Castlevania story.
Game Play: even though most Castlevania's these days use the same formula,
some how, it's still very fun! and it has cool bosses, good items, everything a Castlevania veteran will enjoy too! however, it's not for everyone.
Graphics: the graphics in this game are pretty average, but everything uses
a pretty good use of colors. and some enemies look great (IE, Old Axe Armor)
but the only problem is that most enemies are reused from past titles such
as ectoplasm and Old Axe Armor (SOTN).
Sound: I'm not really into music, but i sure people will like the music.
and SFX is better than in DOS.
Replay Value: this game lasted me 61+ hours, and I'm still playing it!
and there's a lot of things to do like getting all the unlockables!
overall, this game is worth it, and it's a must buy.

My 1st impressions after beating Portrait of Ruin. While it has a lot of replay value, PoR is just more of the same.

Castlevania in 1944. Co-op is a neat idea
