The game's a little disappointing... I think DoS is a better game. So, think before you buy this cos' if you want a Castlevania game get DoS.
I played Castlevania Portrait of Ruin!, Bad news everyone...

I LOVE this crap till death (played for almost 2 hours in one sitting). Controlling a cute short skirt magician girl running around killing crap = instant win. Not to mention it also has them Desu sisters. The only thing bad about the game is the english dubbing, every fricking where. And I can't change the voices to the original Japanese either. Some of the enemies sounded lame and pathethic in english when attacking/dying (ie: witches and succubuses). What's so great about DoS anyway? I almost forgot how it played like (it was like what, 2 years back since I played it?). |

I played it, its not half bad actually. This is the only castelvania games that i have played more then 2 hour.
Previous castlevania games is too much of an hack and slash. This is at least a bit more fun and intersting. Good game for a starter. Maybe a bit too ez for those that are long time fan of it |

I think Charlotte's spells (Tempest kills Death quite easily during the first encounter) made the game a wee too easy, not to mention some of the dual combo attacks, like the meteor (deals instant 360+ damage to everything on the screen), or 1000 swords (deals 20+ damage for what, 100 times?).
Here's something fun to do, change the character to Charlotte, then hold up for 10 seconds. Then do the same thing for Jonathan. |

For people who hate the english voice acting... Key in this code,
L + A (at Start Game) U will hear, "Show time" if key in properly. The speech will now change to kawaii jap. Geheheh... IMHO, I think this is a better game than DoS. The graphics is better and best of all, u get to use 2 characters at the same time. If im sick of hack and slash, I can switch to kawaii Charlotte and start spamming magic. Anyway, both are still great games and I like them all. |

I find it that Charlotte is powerfull with her spells... Ice shard? Think machinegun ice! Woot! Some of the bosses are too ez too. And this is coming from a none Castlevania gamer >.>
