Castlevania has been a brand name I’ve been able to trust since the NES, and so I’m always excited to hear about a new release in the series. (Besides Castlevania: Judgement
It looks most similar to the PS2 release, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, but it doesn’t even really resemble it that much. In this robots honest opinion, the game looks more like God of War, but I’m sure with its own unique spin of course. With Patrick Stewart on the cast, I’m sure it’s more story oriented than some of the previous titles, but I only say that because who would want to waste Patrick Stewart? Not because Castlevania hasn’t had good stories in the past, I’m just saying I think they are going to one up their game.
As always they have some cool artwork. (Click the pictures to make them grow.)
The game play looks good, phenomenal from a horror aspect, but also not the best actual graphics I’ve ever seen. (Click the pictures to make them grow.)
I think this is going to be a good investment, Don’t make the mistake of not buying this one early. Castlevania games have a tendency of having low print numbers, and raising in price rather than getting cheaper. You can get it for PS3, although it doesn’t seem as if you can pre-order for PS3 at the moment.
It’s also being released on Xbox 360. And Amazon has that version for pre-order, you can get it through this link.
This title is being shipped December 31st. And be sure to check out the trailer below!

I have my fingers crossed for this one. As the N64 showed us, Castlevania did not do too well in 3D. I hope this game gives it the upgrade, without losing the feel of the classic.

Well, I think they have already made it work in, Lament of Innocence, and Dawn of Sorrow. Although I like Lament of Innocence better.
The N64 version I played, and I didn’t like. I think that was because of the gameplay itself though. I don’t think it had to do with 3D. But I have to admit even the N64 version had its moments.
I think this one is going to work, because I think it is just playing it safe and “ripping off” God of War. Which is a fun button masher. (I don’t think GoW owns the trademark.) I mean GoW with a horror feel, sounds like a terrific idea to me.

P.S. Every time I said Dawn of Sorrow, I meant to say Curse of Darkness.

Don’t forget, Hideo Kojima from Metal Gear is on board for this game. We might get giant bi-pedal nuclear missile launching robo-vampires.
