Excellent review, Sqoon.
I love Konami as much as you do, Yoshi, but my fondness for the Castlevania series is far from unconditional. Sqoon quite eloquently echoes my own thoughts on HoD.

Nice review, even though I don't agree with your grade. I find the game satisfying, if not challenging, and I think easier Castlevanias tend to take a beating. Still, you justified your points well.
Yup. Sqoon is an excellent writer. (just jaded) :p
Fine. Ignore my initial review on this game, why don't you. ;)Quote:

I like brutally honest reviews. This review is just more than harsh, though. I guess Konami was afraid to mess with the "tried-and-true" formula of SoTN, right down to the blanco coiffed hero. After the horror of the mundane n64 Castlevania, I'd also attempt to go back to forumla.
But why did was Boss Battle mode totally disregarded? It really made a wonderful addition to the game, even if the bosses were hideously easy.
My biggest pet peeve about magazines and websites is when they reveal the unlockables. (I really regret reading the Ape Escape 2 preview in EGM...)Quote:

didn't you slip and do that once though, man?
