I dunno if this was mentioned anywhere yet, but Castlevania fans should take a look.

Great game... everyone should go buy it!



My PSP GOTY already...

So wait, do you get it when you preorder, or pick up the game?

[Apollo]

Probably (hopefully) when you pre-order

[77punk]

just the fact this game is coming out for something other than PC Engine CD is awesome... now i just need to find a psp.. off to the mall, maybe some kid dropped theirs?

[RadiantSvgun]

I called the store, and they said you get it with pick-up.

The reviews I've read have been mediocre to downright negative. The main complaint is the punishing difficulty and the need to repeat entire levels whenever you die (ala the NES days). Also, you can only unlock SotN by completing the main game (which is almost impossible). Obviously I have no idea if this is truly the case, since I've never played it.

I'll still be buying the game on day 1. A "new" 2-D Castlevania should always be a must buy for any self-respecting gamer.

Um, Castlevania games are difficult. So what? That is part of the fun. Dracula X was one of the harder ones, and I would be disappointed if it was easy.

Yeah, I am going to buy this game no matter what, and would like the little figurine because it's cool, but I've been burned so many times not getting pre-order bonuses when pre-ordering in stores, and it turns out that since the last time I ordered on gamestop.com they've started charging tax in my state, so between tax and shipping it is a noticeable amount more than if I just bought it in a store. I still haven't decided what to do...

Incidentally, I was at a GameStop yesterday, and the manager told me that both this and the Phoenix Wright doll are to be picked up when the game comes out, and that they won't be there before.

Dracula x was one of the easier ones.But Dracula X on the snes is a different story.

Well I have the game... played through it... etc... Those reviewers are eh.... weaksauce I guess... lol...

But really though, for 29.99... This is a great deal... even moreso if you're a fan of the series...

Which reviews are these? It's been well-received at most of the magazines.

Reviewers these days are pussies! They bitch when a game is pretty hard. :P

This'll be fine, so don't worry.

I just pre-ordered mine a minute ago. Normally I dont pre-order anything, but I figured if I could get something else video game related I might as well, since I planned on picking it up anyway.

[kainemaxwell]

So it's out and who has it?

[segagamer4life]

I will be picking my copy up at noon..... man I have been waiting a long while for this release... and with good reason, this has to be one of the best castlevania releases in a long time...

[klausien]

I too will be getting mine at lunch time. I still wish this was for PS2, but what can you do?

My thoughts exactly. I'll be picking this up today.

I'll also be buying it at lunch but I won't be able to play it till about 6PM tonight. I'll have it sitting in my car till I get outta work. Oh man I can't wait to try it.
