Just FYI about Castlevania LoS. The game sucks balls. I'm currently playing it and it isn't as much fun as it is a drag to play.

If you've ever played ANY of the GoW games, you'll find this title severely lacking in polish, tightness of control, and general fun. The QTE is done terribly, I find the design ugly, and the gameplay isn't even as good or as fun as the first GoW. I'm currently replaying the GoW series and am having infinitely more fun with GoW 2 than I have had with CLoS.

I also find it a joke in modern day games when your character can do double jumps to reach certain ledges but can't manage to step over a curb. It really feel super limiting after having played Uncharted and Infamous recently. Claustrophobic almost. Super linear design.

ugh... the game is just bad.

Don't let the name fool you. This is no Castlevania game.

I've already run into 2 game crashing bugs where the game totally freaked out and I had to reload my save, losing all progress I had made in the process.

I don't like the way they handle the cinematics, either. Quite lazily done, I think.

Really... not a good game and not worth paying more than 25k won for, IMO. Unfortunately, I paid 50USD for it on a recent trip home Sad

Haha on that note, I have a copy of Castlevania for ps3 that I could part with. The previous poster is right about some stuff. The game is much more restricted than Uncharted, but the graphics are really good. The bosses in the game are good too, sort of like Colossus. If you like Devil May Cry, you will like this game, it has a much more Japanese feel to it. I will take 30 for the game and I can ship if you want.

Oh sorry. Xbox 360.

I guess I should have mentioned that.
