![]() ![]() ![]() Mid-sized wolf creatures, of which there are tons? QTE. The Quick Time Events, unlike in God of War 3, are somewhat varied, providing button-specific timed presses as well as any-button timed presses, but none of them are enjoyable. Most of the first chunk of this game consists of one extended QTE, broken up by small amounts of hacking smaller enemies. It is comes from the same manufacturer as the infinitely-extensible-and-retractable-screen-filling-chain-blade-combo, the Blades of Chaos. Castlevania is famous for its whips, but if you've played the game you know this is definitely not a whip. You even have a bloody chain weapon! It just so happens to be a crucifix, err I mean Combat Cross. If the Lycan's were skeleton/demon things, you would be Kratos. Actually "ala" is too soft a word, more like "exactly as seen in" would be better. You start out helping some villagers beat off a horde of Lycan wolf-man creatures, throwing you immediately into the action ala God of War. If the new 3D Castlevania game, Lords of Shadow, had been released appropriately in the early to mid aughts, this review would be entirely different. Let me get this out of the way right now: I want to like this game. But here it is again, for all to disagree upon. Sorry to post this late, but I erroneously put this in my blog, rather than the Reviews section.
