Castlevania: Lament of innocence
 

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.

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.

My thoughts exactly. I'd say a solid rental

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.

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).

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...

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

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

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.
