Summary: Freaking Amazing
Comment: This game's combat system makes the Castlevania series worth playing again. Since Symphony of the Night I've been yearning for something and this game was my answer. It is simply incredible. A must have for all Castlevania fans!

Summary: Castlevania: Curse of Darkness(Who needs Belmont?)
Comment: Castlevania as a whole started with one thing in mind. . . kill the vampire plaquing the land. The same can be said about Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. You play as Hector, a devilforge master. What's a Devil Forge master you ask? A person with the ablity to create monsters/and or weapons. Devil forge masters in this game have the same amount of power as Dracula's right hand man, Death. Huge 3D like invorments(like from LOI), wild monsters, gorgeous graphics, and a suporior sound track help Hector along the way to get revenge for the love of his life Rosaly. As far as story line time, this happens a little after Castlevania 3: Dracula's curse. So in other words, you old school guys(like me) will enjoy seeing what happeded after Castlevania 3. Pick it up today, you will NOT BE SORRY. Oh yea did I mention, that you get to play as Trevor Belmont? Oh I didn't, good luck, and make Dracula pay!!!

Summary: True To Your Dreams
Comment: Castlevania Curse of Darkness is a true gem, among xbox games. I think, it was more designed to be a bridge for a game that's coming out in the future, that be two player (Probably xbox360 or Play station 3). So they have get you (the gamers) used to someone other Trevor Belmont. One Dracula Is NOT DEAD. He get's reborn, he needs one of the devil forger masters to get reborn. So its either Hector or Isaac who has to die to bring forth Dracula. So since your Hector and that leaves only Isaac who becomes Dracula. (Dracula is mad at Hector for running off during the big battle, thus blaming him for his down fall to Trevor Belmont.) But here only point in the whole game that gets me Hector is way up in the army of evil and he has a change of heart just because Dracula wants to kill every human who wants them destroyed. That part brothers me but who cares its fun game anyway hacking and slashing all the creatures of the dark. So its like a complexed stories line. But along the way you don't know what's what's. It come to you in the movies and not all what you see is what is. Like in the beginning you meet Zead and Saint Germain. Now Zead wants to help you on your quest and Saint Germain wants to try and stop you. They both hate each other, Zead seems so nice and Germain like a total pain. Why not any help that helps you average the death of your wife to the town people who bur her as a witch sounds good. You have to fight Saint Germain latter, and to tell you the truth he is hard, he pulls out a gun try's to shoot you, when he near death. Latter you find out Zead is Death "the Grimm Reaper"., after you fight Isaac and Zead takes Isaac and turns him into Lord Dracula, for the final fight. When you beat Dracula you seen the ending. Now everyone says this game is to short. When actual its two games you can play as Trevor Belmont and its totally different then playing as Hector, as game play is concern more classical Castlevania from the NES and SNES days. So if you don't like the devils and want a more classical game try beating it once and play as Trevor. But you also find out in the ending from Saint Germain there will be another finial battle (hint another game of Castlevania in the works). So honestly the game play is cool, the battles are fun and if you play long enough you can truly enjoy this game and its plot twists. It took me 30 hours to beat it, with hector and I'm finish play it with Trevor Belmont, but can say its good. I cant campare this to the play station games my last Castlevania was Castlevania X for SNES. It reminds me a lot of that game the stages do, but these are more in detail and more fun 3d. One more then there is a love stories at the end, yes I know not what you where expecting, between Hector and Julia Laforeze. Doesn't it melt your heart. Yes Isaac sister and the hero. How ironic. There hidden stages more bosses after you beat it and its truly a gem among xbox games. Some will be mad cause I wrote this but the cheesy plot line about Dracula being death and fighting for so long to beat this game figure ill just go ahead and tell it. Its great game.

Summary: One of the best Xbox games
Comment: As someone who enjoyed previous Castleavania games going back to the early Nintendo systems, I did find this new incarnation to be somewhat different than the 2D games of old. But I still liked it a lot. Basically this game has been my main preoccupation for the last 2 weeks or so. I'd rank it as one of the top 5 Xbox games I've ever played (out of 50 or so) in terms of sheer fun level. Primarily I liked the fact that as you gain new items & skills, you can go back to previously explored areas and new areas will open up. This "expanding universe" aspect makes it similar to the Super Metroid games and a little like some of the Zelda titles for Gamecube. I also found the "Combine" system (of seeking out materials to create new weapons and armor) to be very engrossing, and I liked the various ways to obtain those materials - steal from monsters, seek out hidden rooms, etc.
The graphics and sound FX are well below the "all-time great" level of games like Halo 1 or 2, but they're perfectly servicable, ranging from very good to excellent. I thought the spooky ambiance of the various castle hallways, dungeons, etc., was actually captured rather well.
Although I did completely get into the process of exploring the various worlds of this game (especially with the help of some online FAQ references!), I will concede a few drawbacks. The currency's uses are fairly limited. There's only one shop, and the things you most want or need cannot be bought there. And in the later stages of the game, you accumulate a lot of excess cash that can't be used for anything. Also, the process of levelling-up your character and his "I.D." (innocent devil) companions definitely got rather repetitive and a little boring after awhile. Those are minor drawbacks, however. Overall, this is a great game!
