The only way I would play that game is if it guranteed my entrance into Heaven.
IGN gave the game a 2.5, and I'm of the belief that Tecmo only sold 2.5 copies of the game. I say 2.5 because one of the copies probably broke or either the guy took it back and managed ot get his skrill. Avoid at all costs.
I bought a solution on accident, but those problems are there. I'm trying to enjoy this game, and enjoy it more than halo:reach which is an over hyped, over rated and and overall shitty game.
OK, but why have the cut scenes? Yes you can skip them, but why do you have to do the levels over and over?
The fact that you have to redo them (or do a portion of them) makes absolutely no sense at all. Some of the design choices make no sense at all. Think of all the times you saw a flashing ledge and all of the times you didn't see a flashing ledge. That inconsistant shit needs to be resolved. For the most part, the pacing is ok but this game needed a bit more polish and whats up with the one save? Why not multiple campaigns?
And I'm not looking at it like a Castlevania fan because a lot of them are saying it doesn't do the series justice. I'm looking at it from a design point and how it stakes up to other games in the genre.
It does have it's good moments, don't get me wrong and I'm not saying the bad moments should prevent a person from playing the game, but the polish you would get from other action adventure games (like an Uncharted 2 for example) isn't there.
But try Vanquish. You like Japanese titles and Vanquish is as Japanese as it gets. It's visuals were based on Casshern, the enemy mech design is good, and the boss battles take some time to beat and can be killed off in a multitude of ways. You can also change audio and text to the language of your choice. Unlike Gears, you score points in this game. The quicker you run through the level, the more enemies you kill, the type of kills you did, etc increase your score. Dying takes away from your total points, etc. I turned the points thing off because I didn't want to see it (wish I could have killed the hud also), but cop it if you can find it.
