Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Options

OK this game rocks hard.
Voice overs are pretty good. If that's not your cup of tea, you can change the voices to Japanese.
Graphics and animations kicks ass.
Music is top notch.
The game picks up rather nicely. The intro totally sets the mood to OMG.
Dual wielding! And you can swap between 3 configurations later on in the game.
The game is harder than you think.
I will try to finish it before the next show.
But yeah, pick up the game mang.

A lot less like Metroid this time around. The first half of the game has linear stages old school Castlevania style. There is very little backtracking unless you want to get a 100% complete game to get items you missed. This game shines most with its difficult boss encounters or parts they throwing lots of enemies at you with the damn crows. The later half of the game is Dracula's Castle and its got the standard Metroidness to it but its actually still pretty linear compared to other Metroidvania's.

I like the game because it is more old school than the previous games. The thing I hate most about Metroid and Metroidvanias is the backtracking. You know the you need to get to this area and keep trying then you realize you need some special power you find much later. But I almost always forget I need to come back when I find the power up anyway and get stuck. Whatever. I was glad that I did not have to worry about backtracking in this one.

Oh and the main character is a girl.
