I played this right after playing Potrait of Ruin (which is also enjoyed very much) and wondered how this one could possibly receive a better rating. Well, it did and its gameplay and in game features showed why. The enemies and spells/weapons were actually almost identical to Potrait of Ruin, however some were different. Also the addition of weapon creation and upgrades were surely a plus. The monetary system and maps were classic of any Castlevania title. The story line kept the tradition going as usual and provided a nice way to keep you interested at the max. Just as I said for Potrait of Ruin, this is a classic. The extras and Boss Rush mode were also points to take into consideration when experiencing this game to its full potential. Online play in included which gives those Wi-Fi players even more reason to buy this title. I look forward to even more Castlevania games to come out in the future.
