Yes I bought it. I personally think it is a good game, however some of the bosses really need to be increased in difficulty and the stealing technique needs some refurbishing but either than that yes it is a good game, however I think they need another 2D for the consoles (PS2, XBoX, GC)

45 days until I can play it. . .

I wouldn't listen to any of those bad reviews.

I snuck a peak at the game's guide, and just flipping through a few pages got me even more excited than I was about Curse of Darkness (I'm not sure how that could even happen!).

Thanks for the feedback guys, but isn't there anyway to increase the difficulty in the game?

Never mind, i have an issue of nintendo power, some kid wrote a letter saying how he broke his arms and couldnt' play video games, so he'd play his NES with his toes. After a while he got better at using his feet than when he was able to use his hands. Even has a picture of him playing SMB3 with his feet..

Yea, he had one of those advantage joysticks for the NES, this way he could put it between his toes and control it a bit easier than a standard controller.

FInally got around to playing CoD. It seems the game is a bit too easy. I plowed my way through the first two bosses and the only time i was in any danger of dying was durring the second boss fight. I'm hoping they put an "@crazy" mode in this game like they did in Lament, because this game is too easy on normal so far. As for the visuals being bleak. You're in a plague striken Europe thats under a horrible curse, I wouldn't expect the place to look all that pretty. The level variation that's in there so far seems to be perfectly fine. I have no idea why Greg K is whining about it.

For those who want a tad bit more challenge...

*spoilers*









When you beat the game, just enter @CRAZY just like in Lament of Innocence and you play it on "hard" mode. The game is EXACTLY the same except everything is 20 levels higher than their normal form.

Also, when you beat the game on any difficulty and finished off every boss, you can play Boss Rush like in previous games but all the bosses have increases levels.

I wouldn't really call that a Spoiler, since i was hoping for a crazy mode anyways. THe early game is far too firgiving in normal mode, it dosn't start to get tough untill you start running into Slogara's (SP?). *Now this on the other hand is a spolier* Also i should have beaten Trevor, that fight took about 20 Minuits for him to actually kill me ... i'd have had his life down to atleast the last 1/4 of his second bar if it weren't for the fact that you can't beat him when you run into him in the beggining of the game.

Saddly, "OK" seems like the most accurate description. the "bland" enviroments don't bother me at all, like I already said, i actually like the visual variety they give you, but the levels are still pretty looking boxes like they were in "Lament of Innocence".

Actually... I was considering whether or not to bring my PS2 to my parents house and play it for a good portion of the day...but it might be more effort then its worth... especially sense I just got Castlevania DS

I've already beaten the game with Hector, and now I'm playing the game again as Trevor Belmont, which is very awesome!! But the game doesn't let you use any of Trevor's weapons when you're playing as Hector, and it doesn't let you use any of Hector's weapons when playing as Trevor, and the game doesn't let you buy items and weapons from Julia's Shop when you're playing the game the 2nd time as Trevor, just like Rinaldo wasn't at his shop to sell you stuff when you played the game as Joachim in Lament of Innocence after you beat the game with Leon Belmont!! That is just really, REALLY stupid and dumb of Konami to do to the fans of the series!! But it's a very great game besides the way the battle movements are concerened.
