Castlevania: Lament of Innocence

Lament of 2D side-scrolling

We were quite happy with how the Castlevania series was going. In our minds, the “new age" of Castlevania started with Symphony of the Night on the PSone. It was easily one of the best games in the entire franchise, and its follow-ups came in the form of Game Boy Advance games – all of which were quality.

Then Konami does the unthinkable and announces a 3D Castlevania (well, a new one) coming from the teams behind Harmony of Dissonance and Aria of Sorrow. Hath the 2D masters gone mad?! Castlevania: Lament of Innocence is a full 3D adventure on the PlayStation 2 casting you “in the role of Leon Belmont, the forefather of the legendary Belmont Clan and the first in the family's long line of vampire hunters. With social and political activities operating under the oppressive grip of clergy during the Crusades, Leon is a nobleman about to be engaged to his beloved Sara. However, when his young lover disappears one fateful evening, Leon sets out to rescue her. Armed with only a dagger, it is not until an unexpected ally, an alchemist, offers him a protective whip that Leon is ready to begin his hunt."

Didn't I fight you in Metroid Prime?


Anticipation factor: Sounds like a great Castlevania storyline, but now the only question left is can Konami make the gameplay ‘distinctly Castlevanian' and not just ‘a lot like Devil May Cry'? We'll find out this November.

Some Castlevania games of late have had slightly different titles between the Japanese and English versions for reasons unknown to us.

Nocturne in the Moonlight = Symphony of the Night
White Night Concerto = Harmony of Dissonance

We think they all sound pretty cool.
