And now its Castlevania, I guess. As usual its the SDM that gets the Castlevania treatment, but now in 3D! The character models are all quite good, and I appreciated the detail of the strange yellow orbs outside the SDM entrance. The game controls well, and the addition of the slide attack does wonders to keep the movement interesting. Some of the progression requirements are pretty devious. Each time I thought I found a secret it ended up being required. The boss theme was great and makes me wish more of the game had such jams. The voiceover intro was a complete surprise.
I found the gate jump exploit and thought I was going to be so slick with a world record, but dang people are already way ahead of me. Still, it was nice to go back and complete the game in a 1/5 of the time of my first go.
