The graphics and gameplay are superb. As is the music. When youre exploring the castle, the awesome graphics and organ heavy music really sets the mood. The main chracter Leon controls smoothly and his whip strikes look and feel powerful. Plus the boss battles are tough but not overly difficult. And the camera doesnt seem to blind me as much as in Devil May Cry.
Though Lament of Innocence has plenty of short comings.
1) The enemies and level design are reused way too much. Too many of the corridors and enemies look and act exactly the same.
2) The magic system is 'dumbed' down. This games magic system is based around your subweapons, much like Harmony of Dissonance. Why they couldnt have implemented the awesome magic of Symphony of the Night or Dawn of Sorrow, i dont know.
3) Too many things are overly simplified like the combos and armors. There are no 'secret' armors or combos. You get them all as you gradually progress through the game.
In the end this is a great game and i enjoyed it much more than Devil May Cry. But when it stands next to some of the other Castlevania games it is far from perfect.
As for the Symphony of the Night comparisons, I for one think it holds up admirably for being in the 3D realm. Leveling up is done now through combos rather than just beefing up attributes like every other RPG, and while the items and weapons inventories are cut down from SOTN, they still provide a wonderful selection. But on another note, people should realize that this game is NOT SOTN, nor should it be. If people want to keep playing SOTN, then actually play SOTN and stop expecting Konami to continually clone one game for the rest of eternity.
All in all, I am thoroughly enjoying this game and I think people that are not obsessive fans of SOTN will enjoy it also. (For the record, SOTN is my favorite PSX game so I am not bashing it, just those who seem to think all gamedom should be based upon it.) A rental is always probably a good idea but if you like Castlevania then I recommend a buy for this one.
Always judge something based upon its own merits.
