IMPRESSIONS: Castlevania Judgment
« on: March 02, 2009, 08:52:35 PM »
It's been on my review assignment que forever, but I just now got around to renting it. Played it for about an hour last night.

It's not as horrible as most reviewers are saying. It's not Soul Calibur, or Street Fighter. It's more on-par with the 3D King of Fighters games. Like KoF, Judgment probably would've been more fun on the 2D plane.

Character design is intriguing in that some characters look great, others look absolutely silly, and still others look like they're from a different franchise entirely. I'll keep on keepin' on and you should see a full review by the weekend.

The reason its not as bad as reviewers make it out to be is because reviewers were bitchy about it being a spin off title and decided to place that on top of actual information.

I am sure many just took a look at it, shuddered and wrote the first paragraph based on that.

Or they went with the internet anti-hype and wanted to tell people what they wanted to hear: That a 3D Castlevania spinoff with completely redesigned characters on the console for casual gamers is the worst game ever.

I agree with this. And honestly, I feel like the game would've been better if it was a more traditional fighting game. CJ didn't really use waggle effectively. Then again, neither did Super Mario Galaxy......
