This game is absolutely awesome. Having the map screen up top for quick glance is very helpful! No having to hit a button and wait for a map to load, however quick it may load, is a great time saver. I have always enjoyed the barrage of weapons that you get and use! It is a lot of fun switching weapon to weapon just to see it's unique properties and attacks! And if using all the weapons isn't enough, I love treasure hunting for the new items, equipment, etc. The enemies are farily easy to a point, provided you are well leveled and you use your abilities well. Then there is the monster pit with a bunch of monsters just thorwn at you, and let me tell you, GREAT FUN! Doing it with the fastest weapon to the slowest is one thing, but try doing it with the slowest and weakest for a little added difficulty! The team work can be a little annoying at times when you get into a button mashing frenzy, but overall it is new and fun! I would definetly suggest everyone interested in the Castlevania series give this game a try. It's very hard to be disappointed!
