Topic: Castlevania Review Mini

[Pandareus]

This strikes me as a Ghosts 'n Goblins style debate. Meaning, some people hate GnG for being a rigid, unforgiving game that demands near perfection. Others love it for those same reasons. This game seems to be similar; it's just what kind of game do you want out of it?

For me, this review kind of crystalized that I don't really want to go back and replay this game. I'd rather replay Super Castlevania IV (which I own on Wii VC and hope I'll be playing it on my GamePad this year), because I think that improved some of the tougher parts.

You might have all your tools, but that doesn't mean the tools are a blast to use for everybody. Some people hate GnG's jumping, while other love it. It's all perspective and preference.

I find IV harder and more cheap in parts than the first game, to be honest.

I don't think the review is an accurate description of playing the game at all.

I'm sorry but how?  Super IV is the least cheap old school Castlevania since the 8 directional whip allows gamers to hit any enemies now, so you don't have to worry about being cheap-shot by the diagonal flying enemies anymore.  It also give you control over your jumps so there's no more cheap deaths from accidentally jumping into an enemy because you jumped a pixel too early but the game has to make your character move the same amount of space every time you jump like every other old school Castlevania did.
