Castlevania: Lament of Innocence reviews

Solid entry.
Good combat and while it's not visually impressive, the castle has a lot to explore.
Worth a go.

A good Castlevania/DMC mix.
The castle is expansive and varied, bosses are good and combat has decent depth.

A bit too much bootleg DMC

I haven't played any other Castlevania.
This was the first game I've bought on PS2.
I like this game because it has a replay value, it is fun to whack thing with a whip, I found it quite challenging at times.
This game has a cliche story and vague characters, but I find artistic solutions in the game pleasing and aesthetic to the eye and ear.
I could say this is a ,,cozy" game, sometimes scary.

Is not that Lament of Innocence is such an awful game or anything but is just plain mediocre, the combat is clumsy, the platforming is clumsy, the boss fights aren't even fun, they broke the little to less rhythm of the game and transform it to a waiting game. As for the story, I think is an interesting one but is also very lazy written that almost every part of it feels like a cliche, that being said, I really liked one of the last dialogues. In the end, is a playable and sometimes fun experience that will long 7 hours or so and you will forget it by the next Tuesday.
