User Rating: 10 | Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin DS
I been a huge fan of castlevania since I played the orginal back in the old NES days when 5 or 6 years old kiling bats, zombies, Medusa heads, etc it brings back good memorys. Now fast forward 20 years to the current game of Castlevania: Protrait of Ruin which is a master piece since day one, and the castlevania series isn't going to die like dracula does every few games you fight him. The graphics are very good, and remind me of Castlevania: SOTN on PSone which was perhaps the best castlevania game ever. Now not are the graphics great, so is the sound and music which has been redone and sounds just perfect and well performed. The action is awesome with not only a large variety of weapons for the main man who bears the whip of the belmonts, you use can control a witch with great spells and a neat melee attack weapon (which brings a new word to pop up books). The monster list is huge with new monsters as well old ones and classic ones, each either better or tougher then before. Their are more sub weapons besides old the fashion ones like Crossbows, Shurikens, Gernade, Javalin, and much more. The witch however her sub weapons happen to be a huge variety of spells to fight with or summon monsters to do the fighting for you. Castlevania fans rejoyce for this game will not go to ruin, and it shall have you spending hours to get 1000% completion.
P.S. Yes I do really mean 1000% that was no typo or joke, so get ready for a long time of fighting and sleepless nights.
