   Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is pretty entertaining. It might lack the intense atmosphere and eerie feel some of the previous CastlevaniasCastlevania: Curse of Darkness is pretty entertaining. It might lack the intense atmosphere and eerie feel some of the previous Castlevanias had, but it's still a fun adventure RPG style game. The events of Curse of Darkness happen 3 years after the events of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. You play as Hector, a devil forgemaster, who can summon various types of familiars to help him in fights, ranging from fairy type that heal you, to battle type that are good damage dealers, etc. Curse of Darkness has some similarities and some very huge differences to Lament of Innocence, the other 3D Castlevania that came out on PS2. For one Curse of Darkness is an RPG-style game, meaning the player gets to gain experience points and level up. Secondly you're not only confined to one weapon, but can use many different types. The fun part is that most times you'll need to craft better weapons from the raw ingredients that you find dropped by monsters. Each weapon type has different fight combos, making the potentially repetitive gameplay somewhat varied. The other fun thing is that depending on what weapon type you use, your familiar follows a different evolution path, which can make you interested to try out other evolutionary paths of the same type of familiar. Curse of Darkness has an incredible soundtrack. In fact in my opinion one of the best in a Castlevania game (and that says a lot, since Castlevania games generally have great music). There are a lot of stages in the game, most going outside of the castle. Some stages are rather fun to explore, such as Cordova Town for example, but some others can be a real pain. The game really does grow on you. When I began the first stage it looked incredibly mediocre, but further into the game you get, the more stuff there is to do and more fun it becomes. The characters are interesting, the cinematic sequences, especially the fights, are great, and there are some extra bits added too, like a secret boss in the temple basement, and also two monster-filled towers. This is a much longer game than Lament of Innocence. Perhaps not for everyone, maybe even not for all Castlevania fans, but anyone who likes adventure RPGs or even JRPGs should give this a try at least.… Expand

   Castlevania:Curse of Darkness is the black-sheep of the Castlevania series, but for all the right reasons. CoD utilizes action mechanicsCastlevania:Curse of Darkness is the black-sheep of the Castlevania series, but for all the right reasons. CoD utilizes action mechanics similar to the first Devil May Cry game. I'd even go as far as saying CoD has a bit more depth than the first Devil May Cry game. Similar to an action RPG you're able to loot, and craft new equipment, but what's really unique about this game is its summoning mechanic. Kinda like the Shin Megami devil summoner series you're given the ability to utilize companions which you can fuse with other "innocent devils". All these mechanics come together wonderfully, and deliver a very promising experience. This is definitely a "gem" in the ps2 library. The only downside of the game is the repetitive environment, and sometimes a lack of detail within the environment itself. ie:You're in the save room;it's beautifully designed, and the room looks GOOD;then you leave the save room, and you enter the hallways corridors, and it's the blandest thing about the game. This game could have easily been a 10/10 masterpiece with the environment of Lament of Innocence, and retaining the combat, and summoning mechanics of CoD. This game is NOT a metroidvania, but a great action rpg with a twist. Definitely play it at least once.… Expand
