I'm not personally a Castlevania fan, maybe that why I'm not that harsh on the score, to start with, the beginning is pretty boring, just whip and jump, on my case I'd like somethng more demanding, however all the beggining of every gae are pretty simple and boring. The spells are somthing you do by combining a couple of cards, ok that's on the good side as strategies have to be carefully planned. However I don't really beleive this game has replay value,has it got several endings? Are you competing for high scores? Well maybe if that's the case you'll spend all those hours of playing it again, but personally I wouldn' do so.
