Really? I thought Castlevania was WAY better than God of war 3, which is probably the game youīll be referring to.
If not, please continue
Though I do agree on the music and the camera to a certain extent. The music was just a lot of wasted potential. I mean, Castlevania games have about the best music in any videogame franchise ever most of the time and what we get here just doesnīt cut it. Not at all. The cam...well, itīs shaking all the time for no reason. Other than that I had no complaints about it.
And again about Gow3...and in spoilers because I donīt want to force you guys to read my ramblings about that game AGAIN

I did play through God of War 3 and I really didnīt like it. Itīs all the same...again for the third time in a row...or fourth if you count the PSP-Game. The gameplay is boring, the moves are boring, the weapons are all the same except for the gloves, the writing is...Iīm lacking the right word here...atrocious? Yeah, atrocious. You can basically skip everything and yet you miss absolutely nothing, cause you already know what happens. Someone talks to Kratos, he doesnīt care and kills them all, the end. Cause thatīs what heīs been doing from minute one in the first game.
Gow3 looks great, of course it does. But to me, thatīs really all the game has to offer. The music is as generic if not even more generic than LoSīs, the gameplay is FAR worse in my opinion since you just run around and mash buttons and get away with it (apart from the Cerberus fight which was just annoying and way too drawn out), and they seem to rely more and more on really useless violence as a feature for their game.

I know Iīve said all of these things at least twice before, but I just really donīt get why people like Gow3 so much...it IS more polished than Castlevania, that I admit. And it has Kevin Sorbo, so thatīs probably a plus too...
Also, I ordered Lufia for the DS and Dungeon Maker 2 for the PSP...I donīt know why but I really want to play both after reading about them. And finally, I did give 2 Worlds 2 back and Iīll get Hot Pursuit on Thursday instead, who knows, I might even like it.
