Castlevania has been a brand name I’ve been able to trust since the NES, and so I’m always excited to hear about a new release in the series. (Besides Castlevania: Judgement, and the movie that Paul W.S. Anderson is attached to.) This one looks a bit different than some of the others, but it looks well developed if nothing else.

It looks most similar to the PS2 release, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, but it doesn’t even really resemble it that much. In this robots honest opinion, the game looks more like God of War, but I’m sure with its own unique spin of course. With Patrick Stewart on the cast, I’m sure it’s more story oriented than some of the previous titles, but I only say that because who would want to waste Patrick Stewart? Not because Castlevania hasn’t had good stories in the past, I’m just saying I think they are going to one up their game.

As always they have some cool artwork. (Click the pictures to make them grow.)

The game play looks good, phenomenal from a horror aspect, but also not the best actual graphics I’ve ever seen. (Click the pictures to make them grow.)

I think this is going to be a good investment, Don’t make the mistake of not buying this one early. Castlevania games have a tendency of having low print numbers, and raising in price rather than getting cheaper. You can get it for PS3, although it doesn’t seem as if you can pre-order for PS3 at the moment.
It’s also being released on Xbox 360. And Amazon has that version for pre-order,  you can get it through this link.

This title is being shipped December 31st. And be sure to check out the trailer below!
