A Castlevania Best!,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness for [Nintendo 64] (Video Game)
I think it a bit sad that a gem such as this game has gone under the radar or even dare I say hailed as not a true Castlevania game. However this is quite possibly the best 3D Castlevania ever made and pays more that its fair share of homage to the originals.
In a neat twist you actually play as a werewolf, Cornell, searching for his captive sister. Cornell is unique in the fact that you can transform into a wolf at any point, so long as you have jewel to activate the transformation. This gives you an edge in some of te boss battles or if you fall from a great height it can save you a game over. The trick is not abusing it. If you use it in the wrong situations you may be sorry when you run across a particularly challenging area or boss. The graphics are great and with time always moving it can quickly go from day to night changing the, type of, enemies you will run across. Not only does time change but the weather as well. There are great effects of fog, rain and sun coming through windows. Some classics enemies make an appearence as well including the stain glass warriors, zombies and cerberus. There is a particularly nerve racking point where you must escape a chainsaw armed frankenstein through a hedge maze. Oh and by the way he doesn't die. The level designs are not linear per say. As certain levels require quite a bit of puzzle solving in them selves but once you leave an area you won't be coming back. Like I said though some levels require quite a bit more than hacking through enemies in order to progress. Now the controls are what I hear most people cry about and yes they are... difficult. But they are not impossible and once you learn how to negotiate the camera from fighting to action the controls are a breeze. The fighting is not terribly difficult and the sub weapons can be upgraded up to 3 levels to devestating effects and can help you out untill you get the melee mechanics down. This game offers more than the first release as you get 4 different players to play with. Even though you will revisit pretty much the same areas the stories intertwine nicely. There are different characters and events that happen in similar areas depending on your character as well making those similar levels not too daunting or repetitive. In conclusion this is one of my favorite Castlevania games and has a ton of replay value and nastalgic elements that made the originals great. If you are a fan of the series then this is a must have for your collection. A truly epic and original game with a lot of extra and great new hero's to keep you coming back.
