Castlevania: Lament of innocence

[MW8979]

Has anyone played that game yet? I want to know what you think about it. I'm considering buying it, but I want some opinions first, to know if it's any good or not. I think like other Castlevania games it should be fun, but you never know.

[Voltron]

It wasn't that bad. My quarrels with it were that they were so busy making the combat good that they forgot to add in a game, so you run around and whip the hell out of a lot of guys, but it gets really repetitive.

There are some cool things to unlock, at least rwo extra characters and a bunch of rooms. Also, the cut scenes were really good, and the story was pretty interesting. I'd give it an 3 out of 5, but then again I was crapping my pants for this game since I heard about it.


IN SHORT-

It's fun to play through once, after that its just boring.

It's fun to play through once, after that its just boring.

My thoughts exactly. I'd say a solid rental

[愛]

I beat it in a matter of 2 days. The game was fun for about 2 hours, then I realized that was all to the game.

Oh well, traded it in anyway.

[MW8979]

Hmm, sounds good to me. Pretty much all Castlevania games follow this formula, but I collect them anyway, so I'll probably get it, even if it has no replay value. I know no Castlevania game can ever be as good as SoTN though. That was a supremely well made game, with amazing replay value, great visuals and suitable soundtrack. I was hoping Lament would be done the same way (ie: Metroid style gaming, as opposed to doing sequential levels).

[Voltron]

It's hard to describe. Its not sequential levels, you can go anywhere you want. But SotN was incredible, I still play it till this day.

OH SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT!

Yeah, Voltron knows what I'm talkin' about...

[impetus]

This game was cool. I cry to think the Dreamcast missed out. :-?

Actually I got tired of running around looking for doors for keys and quit playing even though I'm near the end...

worth picking up, or at least a rental

[Voltron]

Dreamcast was the system to end all systems. Unfortunately it failed.

[愛]

Dreamcast was literally like a dream. The games weren't bad, the graphics were beautiful, and there was just so much potential in it. But...Sega jumped the gun a little too early.

Sigh...Oh well. I still play Shenmue to this day.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

I know, the Dreamcast is just SO much better than the 3 systems out today. :( :cry: :( :cry:
