What Gamespot Users have to say about Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
- Rating:8.5
While not as good as Dawn of Sorrow, this is a great game that is definitely worth playing.
Portrait of Ruin is the second Castlevania for DS, and I'm surprised that it's worse than the first one. The main change in gameplay is that you have two characters, Jonathan and Charlotte. Jonathan is the warrior-type, ... Read Full Review

One of the best Castlevania, platformer, DS, and overall games to date.
With it's unique story, superb gameplay, pretty graphics, balanced level of challenge, and perfect soundtrack, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is the best installment in the series since Symphony of the Night. The story ta... Read Full Review

It is still a really fun game, but has gone downhill a lot since Dawn of Sorrow.
Story: Dracula's castle is back! Surprised yet? Yeah, you, a whip using young lad must go through it, but find out that some crazy artist controls the castle and not Dracula. You also get a partner this time who actuall... Read Full Review

No Problem?
Alright, so I'll start this off with a little confession. I fell for the hype, big time. Video after video of the impressive animation, remarkably well designed beginning stages, and screenshots of single areas, all of w... Read Full Review

It's like Dawn of Sorrow... But with more people, a weirder story and better replay value.
Okay, so Portrait of Ruin... Hmmm. In recent years I've come to love the simple side-scrolling zombie killing fun of the Castlevania series. Dawn of Sorrow was a very good game. I have Death's Scythe. Heh. But anyway, to... Read Full Review

Same great game - with some old friends from Dawn of Sorrow
I've played through all of the NES, GBA, SNES, Sega Saturn, Playstation Castlevania games (now I've completed the DS games). In my opinion I feel that the game's fundamental side scrolling game mechanics is timeless and ... Read Full Review

Great game for everyone but especially someone that is entering in the Castlevania series for the first time.
I'll admit, this is my first Castlevania game and I am very impressed. From what I have seen in the past, Castlevania games were just hack and slash side scrollers. In many cases I would be fine with that because they ar... Read Full Review

Go ahead and frame it...
Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula began as a trashy serial. Today, it's humble beginnings have been forgotten and it is hailed as one of the greatest works of fiction of all time. Written in the form of letters and jou... Read Full Review

PoR is another great game in the Castlevania legacy.
Here is an example that 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' mainly cause castlevania PoR is the same great gameplay that started back when Symphony of the night came out. PoR does do a couple thing's different this time ar... Read Full Review
