Castlevania is great. Since the NES original its been a hard, but extremely rewarding series. This one takes Castlevania is a bold new direction. There are now 2 playable characters. Johnathan Morris, weilder of the legendry whip Vampire Killer. And Charlotte Aulin, really smart magic girl. You can swap between the two at any time. The story is that Johnathan and Charlotte try to kill a vampire called Brauner and 2 scantily clad vampire twins. The gameplay is just GREAT. Whiping zombie hides is so fun. It has slighty disturbing bosses but dont let me put you off (Im used to gaint headless knights, freaky Egyptian girls and busty vampire twins) this is hard. But not as punishing as Castlevania: Order Of Ecclesia (I'll review it soon) however there are some puzzles that get the gray matter working. So be prepared to think and whip armored knights. However some bosses are just too easy (The gaint jelly in a jar being a prime example) but if you can find it, buy it ASAP.
