The tools of the demon-hunting trade define Curse. [Nov p.84]
Its nicely implemented Innocent Devil scheme and its varied, and useful, assortment of weapons are great, but its environments are lackluster.

Beautiful atmospheric music in the game! Challenging, interesting and diverse bosses. And pumping your own hand demons is a unique and memorable feature of the game. I played for a long time, but this is one of the few games on Playstation2 that I remember many years later!
Прекрасная атмосферная музыка в игре! Сложные, интересные и разнообразные боссы. А прокачка собственных ручных демонов, это уникальная и запоминающаяся фишка игры. Играл давно, но это одна из немногих игр на Playstation2, которую я запомнил спустя много лет!

An awesome game! Gameplay is excellent, music is on a highest level. Everything about this game makes you spend many hours in it.

But truly, this slightly-above mediocre release is not what Castlevania should be. The action needs to be tougher, tighter, less "me too" where "Devil May Cry" is concerned.
For players that can muddle through the often copious and tedious battles and sometimes lackluster environments, this is a worthy Castlevania adventure -- and thanks to the devil forging and item creating, a rather unique one at that.
Just like Lament of Innocence, the presentation and core gameplay fails on almost every level, making it difficult to differentiate it from any other generic action game out there.
The weapons system is an awesome idea, and the specialized combos and moves for each weapon makes things seem pretty fresh.
For the determined vampire hunter, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness can be engaging, but only in the manner of any item-heavy level grind.
This is the best PS2 game, no contest.
Amazing music, a lot of customization, beautiful graphics, badass boss battles, kickass action and a LOT of loot!
I think the only thing that I could complain about is that the story and characters are not all that interesting, but this is a minor flaw and definitely not something I put as a priority. This game is an underrated masterpiece.

It's a beautiful game for PS2 and the perfect grinding game if you want to listen to podcast. I really enjoyed the combat and Munster system. It was fun growing them into unique monsters of Destruction . I think the story Works it doesn't it has some few interesting points but I can't really say I'm going to remember it. level design is quite poor it's not awful it's just not good but listen to podcast and it is enjoyable

This was very different than other Castlevania games preceding it. I didn't have a problem not playing as a Belmont, because many of the other games had done that. However, the Devil forging was very unusual. I enjoyed it, but didn't really feel as though this were a Castlevania game. But it was fun to make your own weapons and beat Isaac with a frying pan. This game definitely had its silly and serious moments, but one of the most frustrating to me was fighting Legion. I thought fighting Legion would be like The Forgotten One in LoI, you choose to fight it and you get a pretty nice payoff for it. But you get nothing when you beat Legion, just a pat on the back and your back on your way. Other than that, the gameplay was very fun, the storyline was interesting, and the fact that you could play as Trevor once you'd beaten the game is what held its replay value for me.

From the first moment I picked the controller, I knew that this game was special. I only was allowed the privilege of playing on "crazy mode", a mode of extreme difficulty. Lets just, it was fun.
