All I can say is...WEIRD!!! It's the kind of game where I think I understood the story, but probably isn't what I think it is. I enjoyed it mainly for the shooting part and how you can upgrade each of your personalities. The game is kind of limited on the freedoom side since you walk along an established path only by pressing X and the puzzles are kinda easy. Definitely not for everyone, only for casual gamers.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I finally finished Castlevania Curse of Darkness in time for Onimusha 4. Here's my little review.

-Graphics 5/10
Well, they aren't the best I've seen. The level design are simple, there's not enough diversity in them. Each level is composed with rooms that look alike one after the other.

-Sound 10/10
Wow, the soundtrack is magnificent. The musics are one of the best. To be honest, the soundtrack really help you a lot when you are backtracking troughout the game. Since the levels look so much alike and are repetitive, only the soundtrack keep you in the mood to continue going fowards. Listening to it never gets old.

-Gameplay 8/10
Compared to other button mashing game, it's no God of War or Devil May Cry 3. You only have a limited sets of combos, starting with square and ending them with O. It can get a lot repetitive since you pretty much gonna do the same type of combos with almost every weapon you get. Now, the interesting feature in the game are the Innocent Devils. They are little creature with special skills, different type and different evolution path that help you killing stuff or exploring hidden passages.

-Controls 7/10
The controls are OK, although when Hector start is combos, there's no way to stop him. Also, you can choose to lock on your enemies, but it's advise not too because if so, your camera's gonna go bersek.

-Story 6/10
Well, typical Castlevania story. Hector, a devil forgemaster who served under Dracula, want revenge for the death of his wife who was killed by Isaac ,another forgemaster. Isaac who plan to revive Dracula once more and you know what's coming. There's not enough cut scenes and character interaction in the game to keep to story more interesting. Since the game follow the story of Castlevania III Dracula's Curse, Trevor Belmont is seen in the game, but not Alucard.

-Replay value 8/10
I'll admit, this game offer plenty of replay value. Tons of weapons and armor to be forge and a lot of unexplored area to find and optional boss. You can also level up your character as well as your I.D. When you beat the game, you can play as Trevor belmont. What I would've have wanted in this game is a new game + feature because I really would've like to keep all the Innocent Devil I upgraded and keep leveling them up further in a new game.

Overall
CoD is a good game. But, it's missing something really important, platforming. Because all the rooms look alike. All you do when you enter in one is fight, then leave, then enter another one then fight again, then leave and so on. Don't get me wrong, its fun, but it would've have been better solving some puzzles or to do some platforming just so the game offer something different once in a while.

Final score 7/10
