“Order of Ecclesia is the best since Symphony of the Night” would fit better…

[...] is the best ever made for an FPS. One writer called Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia the “best Castlevania ever.” If you check the upcoming titles, Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, Call of Duty: World at War, [...]

meh, I think it’s gonna suck.
Everyone, why don’t you see that they just don’t include the whole gylph thing to make the game more enjoyable?
No, IGA’s intention with each and every feat, combat system, or levelling system included in any CastleVania is, and always was!,
to force the player to use and overuse it in order to commence with the game.
Believe me, kiddies:
You won’t be allowed any advances in the game without extensive levelling or monster farming orgies (cause you will need – for a lot of game situations – a certain relic, ultra-rare glyph drop or a high exp level to proceed).

While I understand that some of you are still going to college and have nothing else to do (esp. in American college, as compared to much tougher European school),
the more adult CastleVania fan will have neither the time to play in this manner nor any interest in enforced levelling/glyph collecting orgies.

The game’s gonna suck cause IGA wants a game to be a little bit on the tough side – and he achieves this through the enforcement of hour-long levelling instead of demanding arcade or jump’n'run skills.

I’m not sure it’ll be “the best ever”, but it doesn’t hurt to be at least impressive to one fan. According to Shane, the real Castlevania freak at the 1Up offices still needs to evaluate it.

What a relief. I was a little upset by the lack of quality I percieved in Portrait of Ruin. It’s nice to hear that the difficulty has been ramped up a bit, and that there’s some gameplay throwbacks to Simon’s Quest. Konami seems to be pulling out a few more stops on this title than they have in the past, and we can all agree that’s a good thing.

Good news, I’ve enjoyed the last few iteration of Castlevania on the DS but nothing has really wowed me, so now I’m looking forward to this even more!

Thank goodness it’s good too, as we have that terrible Wii fighting game coming out if both of them had been bad it could have killed the franchise!
