Castlevania: Harmony of Despair croons on XBL

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair is such a fun game.

I was really looking forward to Castlevania and after downloading the demo I was really disappointed. First off, even zoomed in on a 42" plasma the characters are hard to see. The controls leave a lot to be desired and it's just not fun to play. Stick to the Castlevania Rebirth on the Wii, Symphony of the Night or any of the DS games are better. Your points are better spent on last weeks Hydro Thunder.

@mrsniper83 - I fell asleep twice playing the too human demo...i didnt get the game...

I would had been more excited for this one if only this was a true Castlevania game and not a spin-off disguise as one.

It looks like Harmony of Despair is barely passable! I'll just keep playing Symphony of the Night and get a used DS...and forget this ever happen!

I agree with some of the others. This Castlevania game has no personality, or soul. I played the demo, and it feels like "Castlevania: Arcade" - like it would have been right at home eating quarters. I'll jump back on the REAL Castlevania train when Lords Of Shadow comes out.

Too human was BY FAR the worst game that i have ever put into my xbox 360

I enjoyed Too Human, If it was tweaked a bit better without all the bugs it would have been a pretty solid game, I wouldn't mind a second one at all

Harmony of Despair is pretty fun

Batman is a great game, but it would be a lot smarter just to rent it. Or buy it used.

Go Castlevania HD!!!!!!

If the single player mode sucks, I'll pass. I want to be able to play the game through in single and multiplayer mode. I don't want restrictions where you have to play multiplayer to make it to the next level or room.

castlevania hd, is different than other castlevania (2d side scrolling) games are. their are various levels that you can complete alone or with friends. althought tried it by myself and alone is not the way to go

disappointing

ill wait for the new console verison of 'Vania, hopefully itll be on par with games like dmc and ninja gaiden

Too human on demand? yeah right, and I'm the tooth fairy.

So, I picked up Castlevania: HoD last night, and I must say it's really fun. But, a word of warning, do not buy if you're only going to play single player, as you'll likely never get past the first stage.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair has me very excited! Castlevania: Harmony of Despair is the true sequel that fans of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night have been waiting a very long time for! I remember when Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was released exclusively for Xbox Live Arcade for only $10 with "Enhanced Graphics" that looked awesome on HDTV sets and "Remixed 5.1 Sound" that was updated to work perfectly with all the new 5.1 surround sound A/V Receivers. I thought that I was in heaven since Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is considered a legendary game and one of the best platform games ever created. Castelevania: Harmony of Despair is the game I have waited ages for! I really love the way its name "Harmony of Despair" intertwines perfectly with "Symphony of the Night" in order to prove that the two games are mixed together with their plot and storyline. I think it's awesome the way Harmony of Despair adds co-op and multiplayer to Castlevania! I'm looking forward to Harmony of Despair a lot!

Castlevania is not that good. It's primarily a multiplayer game but in single player it fails. No story, you can't adjust your equipment without going to stations, controls don't feel very tight when compared to SoTN or any of the DS titles, the characters feel very tiny on closest zoom (I suppose so you can see teammates nearby in multi), and while advertised as 1080 it sure doesn't look it all for $15. Despite all this I am Castlevania starved and want something besides FPS. That is a sad commentary on me as well as the sad state of affair for games atm. If only I hadn't beat Starcraft II already.

I think Batman might be the first game they put on there over 30 bucks. Makes me wonder if we can expect more newer games to come soon.
