Holy fuck, Castlevania Judgment actually looks GOOD
 

Why must you tempt me so, Konami?!

I mean, the game comes out either this week or next or last (don't remember), but suddenly I'm more eager to play it than before. It looks like Powerstone meets SoulCalibur meets waggle, and provided there's not too much of the last portion, it might be worth the time. And don't tell me Trevor didn't look like a badarse.

I'll rent this one, at the very least. I shall sacrifice my gaming time for you guys.

My only problem remains the same, they deviated from the original art far too much. But other than that, the game looks amazing. I'm definitely trying to get this or play it at the very least.

i dunno man... it's not the art for me, it's about the crappy gameplay and "Too-long" special animations i keep hearing about that prevents me of wanting this one

I find it funny how everyone's suddenly taking the Smash Bros concept of "Everyone vs Anyone" and applying it to their own franchise. Someone else probably did it first (I don't know for sure) but I'm not sure if the sudden outburst is a good thing or a bad thing.

This looks fun, regardless of how (un-)versed I am in Castlevania lore. Looks kinda like Soul Calibur. One thing I didn't like: the "custom character costumes" clip involved a person trying on different outrageous hats. There's such a thing as too silly.

Lastly, if Dracula doesn't talk about the miserable pile of secrets, they are doing it wrong.

Okay, so I understand that I can have Sephiroth beat the crap out of Misa Amane, but is there any solid word on how well this actually plays?

SNK with the King of Fighters perhaps? I could be wrong, but at least that's a good hallmark as crossovers go.

No Golem! You are not a gun, you are who you choose to be!


At the moment though I've been hearing too much negative about the game to consider purchasing it, and it really hasn't caught my interest much at all. I don't have any problem with the art though, aside from the fact that Simon should totally look like this:

You're one funny guy, Kaneda.

Yeah... apparently a lot of the people who tried it weren't all that happy with the controls.

According to the Wikipedia article, at least.

I still have mixed feelings... On one hand. Castlevania! WHOOOO!!!


On the other, Maria's legs are bigger than her head STILL...
