When the game is something with a cool and distinct art style: "I love this cute little distraction."

When it's a 360-gen grey-brown shootbang game that's indistinguishable from every other 360-gen grey-brown shootbang game: "Currently breaking this game's legs."

The worst thing to happen in 2001.

gameplay stinks but the remaster sprayed febreeze on it

I remember renting this game from Blockbuster back in 2008 when it came out, and on the way home I had to shit so fucking bad that I was begging my Mom to drive home faster. I literally was in a half-standing stance in the backseat pleading with God. A moment that makes you truly realize time is a construct and that 5 minutes isn't always just 5 minutes. It was the kind of sweaty, painful, and restless experience that you never forget; I couldn't believe I didn't shit my pants.

Anyway, I remember that experience more than this game because it was so bad. You know a game sucks if even as a Sonic-obsessed kid you just have no interest in it.

a litmus test for gamer sentience

maybe also the all-time least interesting game to have a debate about? if you think this game is badly designed or that it controls poorly, then i'm genuinely not interested in hearing it. i strongly recommend running it back - without the bitch in your ear yapping out all those cookie-cutter tier arguments

Everything about this game is good. It makes it really painful when it's over, as the rest of the series of Castlevania just can't compare.

Still one of the best turn based rpg games ever made to this day. Art also done by the GOAT Akira Toriyama. Rest in peace....
