User Rating: 9.5 | Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin DS
wow before i bought this i've never played castlevania before!!! but this was a wonderfull game to introduce me 2 castlevania !!!!!! i heard of castle vania portrait of ruin before so i checked gamespot! the game looked fabulos but it played even better than gamespot showed me! the only thing that made me wonder is why does this game have 16 - 32 bit graphics??!! sure people will enjoy the old feeling of the other castlevania games that started out on the nes in the 8 bit era, and synphony of the night (said to be a lot like portait of ruin ) was successfull to. i guess they could of at least updated the graphics to 64 bit. (most of you wont agree with me, i understand why) but once i got used to the graphics i thought it was kinda neat how they did that. the game play probabally for 20-30 hours and 15 for replay(considering that the player memorized the goals and maps);) . the levels are practially "bug free" no problems with saving,no confusing puzzles (except the bicycle one) no characters shakeing like they are cold ( i have experienced this glitch in other ds games ) this game also has good bosses and a gameplay style that I can not describe . but all i can say is this mysterous gameplay style will keep you trying one you have failed for the unpteenth time!!! oh yeah the game has very easy controles too!! this is my recomended control seting
A= attack
B= jump
Y= call partner
X= change character
L= backdash
R = partners sub weapon
overall: if i was you i wouldn't think twice about purchasing this game!
