Forgive me for I missed yesterday due to feeling like utter garbage...hooray 24 hour flu! I'll write 2 blogs today so that way it stll counts right? Yeah sure it does! Anyways, I love....absolutely love Castlevania. It's a series I've grown fond memories of. I remember back when I had a Super Nintendo. Man I'll tell you Super Castlevania was amazing.  I've played a lot from the series, so when it was announced that a Castlevania fighting game was being released exclusively for the Nintendo Wii....I was beyond excited. However, I was so wrong.

So the plot follows the character Galamoth who has an idea to send the Time Reaper, from 10,000 years in the future, into the past to destroy his rival Dracula and change history. A man named Aeon discovers this and pulls together champions from different eras of history into a time rift, in order to find a chosen one capable of destroying Galamoth's servant, the Time Reaper.

However, In the awful story mode, the characters you face off against spout painful, random nonsense. It's utterly boring as you go from fight to fight in lifeless repetitive compat. There's not much positive this game has going for it save for the rocking soundtrack and music.There are  too many design ideas that are neither well planned or well executed. There are dull arenas and limited enemy monsters.

There is a crippling lack of character balance. Not even its graphics are what they should be. Its a very poor game on every aspect. I even remember attempting to play this onlne, but a functioning online system wasn’t enough to get over the broken, unresponsive, and unentertaining fighting mechanics of the game.  It either comes as too simple in easier settings or you'll find yourself flailing like a jackass in harder difficulties.

The problem with this game is that it doesn't satisfy...not as a Castlevania game for sure and certainly not as a fighting game. It's got far too many ideas that fall flat. What could have been awesome certainly wasn't.
