[quote name='Kezmer']i got the CE of castlevania for 29 at best buy, can't say that it does much for me, I have played maybe 4 hours and I don't like it much. maybe it gets better but it just feels totally generic and not like castlevania to me. I am probably just an old grumpy guy but I prefer the side scrolling DS versions a lot more than it but for 15 bucks I would say at least try it[/QUOTE]
If you were not impressed by the first 4 hours, it is not going to improve any for you. I was in the same boat you are in, but I pushed through the game so that I could trade it in and get most of my money back (I do not like getting rid of a game unless I finish it).
Gameplay wise, the game is decent, but I enjoyed God of War, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, and Devil May Cry a lot more than Castlevania. As much as I tried to like the story, it just did not do anything for me. I kept hoping the story would get better, but it actually gets worse. Unlike showtimefolks, I did not like the ending, and it definitely was not worth all of the hours I put into this game. To be fair though, it is not like the stories in God of War, Ninja Gaiden, and Devil May Cry are that great either. I rather enjoyed Bayonetta's story though (even though I know most people did not).
The music really made up for everything else in the game though IMO. I really enjoyed the music and background sounds, which is one of the main reasons I hauled through the game.
