I will tell you why this is the best castlevania to date` (may have Spoilers)
This is a really big review so take the time to read it:) and i hope you agree with it
This is by far the best Castlevania game ever made, Konami really deserves to be complimented.
I have been a Castlevania Fan since , well, i played castlevania adventure as a kid ,and stopped playing castlevanias or at least forgot they existed till 2000 when i saw Circle of the moon and said (i must get it)
i cleared the game and i loved it , so i bought evry single one up to date, including previous ones like SOTN, and some older ones as roms (had no other way to play them)
so untill now i cleared Castlevania 1, Castlevania 3,Castlevania IV(played it on the Wii),Castlevania SoTN, Castlevania Rondo Of Blood (original and the new one),Castlevania The Adventure, Castlevania Belmont´s Revenge, Castlevania Lament of Innocence,Circle of the moon,Harmony of Dissonance,Aria of Sorrow,Dawn of sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and now, Castlevania Order Of Ecclesia
Well ill get back to what i wanted to say on this Review:
Order Of Ecclasia:
From the moment i started Playing this game i noticed that it would be an instant classic,the graphics , the sound, the gameplay , everything was really good looking,so i went ahead and played almost 4 hours on my first day getting 49% of the game.
I can really say that it is in fact the best castlevania game ever made
The songs are Epic, the gameplay is really great, making good combos ,trying diffrent spells, having 3 diffrent sets to customise, and the graphics are better than ever.
The boss battles are simply amazing (yes they are hard thats what makes them amazing)
the only thing i never liked in castlevania games was the difficulty it was allways to easy, i could finish the games easly (except for Castlevania 1 and 3 wich were really hard)
so when i fought the first boss, killing it at my first attempt i said, ok thats harder than the previous castlevanias i cant wait to see the second boss, so when i fought the second boss i was amazed at the variety of things to do, from using thoat magnet thing to slingshot around while trying to avoid a skeleton 5 times your size was simply amazing)
so at the third boss i was stuck, and i finnaly killed him on my 4th attempet.
at the moment i was really enjoying the game but the only thing concerning me was that i was afraid that the game was to small, then i got to albus, killed him and used the 3 glyphs (yes i didn´t know) and i got a game over screen wich i was already predicting that it was the bad ending so i went to look for the 3 missing villagers and fought albus (his battle song is simply amazing) and saw that a new location appeared , Draculas Castle, so i saw that i had alot more to explore and that made me even happier with the game.
Gamespot says : The bad : recicled Enemies and Punishing Difficulty.
so what? evry castlevania fan Loves a hard castlevania aswell as seeing some old school enemies like those baloons , or that flying horse head.
for Castlevania fans this is the ultimate castlevania, it has the hard difficulty ,stunning gameplay,an amazing soundtrack ,great variety of weapons equippment, combos, quests.
so what would we want more?
a second Order Of Ecclasia as the next game!
