Castlevania: Curse of Darkness for Xbox - GameSpot

Anyone try this yet? Came out today, so I snagged a copy. Reviews are mixed, but I'm a sucker for this series and will probably dig it anyway.

I'll give it a shot....but Castlevania should always be 2D. They've already fucked it up once in 3D, hopefully this will be better.

You can just borrow my copy after I zip through it. :yesway:

Well, it's not exactly similiar to the old Castlevania games, for me it's more like a God Of War and Onimusha mix, but the graphics are gorgeous and the game is quite enjoyable on its own (I'm currently finishing chapter 2)

EDIT: Ooops, I somehow overlooked the title and thought You mean the Lords Of Shadow one

I've got it on PS2 and it's more or less SOTN-Lite and 3D. I say that is that it's a semi-sequel to Castlevania 3 on NES (what a stretch) much like how SOTN was a sequel to Rondo of Blood. Plus both also have the Belmonts as secondary characters and the main character gets to summon familiars to assist in battle.

Also the music rules too.

EDIT: Also interesting fact, Trevor Belmont (In CV3 and COD) and his other friends also show up in SOTN as zombies. Alucard is excused because you play Alucard in SOTN.

Patrick Stewart voicing the intro is an instant win.

Game is kinda blah. Boring combat, super linear, great graphics, but you can't look around (think Dante's Inferno).

Gonna plow through it and toss it on eBay. :\

6/10

Curse of Darkness is like 5 years old and sucked big hairy moose (George Wendt) boobs.

You mean Lords of Shadow? Yeah everything I've heard makes me think it sucks. Not picking it up.
