Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is an action adventure game developed by Konami for the Xbox and PlayStation 2.

Why It Rocks

  1. The game features a more complex, action/adventure style of gameplay, much like Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow. The game can be best described as a 3D version of the two Metroidvania games.
  2. The protagonist can equip a variety of different weapons ranging from swords (both one handed and two handed), spears, axes, etc.
  3. Detailed graphics.
  4. Awesome soundtrack.
  5. Hack and slash gameplay similar to that of Dynasty Warriors.
  6. Raise and evolve creatures called "Innocent Devils", which help the protagonist in combat and to solve puzzles.
  7. Curse of Darkness features a more complete and open game world, unlike the hub mechanic than its predecessor.
  8. Many craftable items and equipment, which can only be created by gathering the necessary materials.
  9. An extra gameplay mode after finishing the game that allows players to play as Trevor Belmont, equipped with the "Vampire Killer".
  10. Many secrets and unlockables.
  11. Exciting and varied boss battles.
  12. Up to 40-60 hours of gameplay.

Reception

The game was generally well received, generating mid to high review scores. Common praises often go to the game's battle system, the Innocent Devil system and musical score.
