Castlevania its one of the best games this year, or maybe even past 5 years.

Enslaved doesn't have much replay value and is very clunky

i don't know about Vanquish yet.


never played any castlevania before,,,,whould i still like it more than enslaved??


Yes, its not related to any castlevania game and its the first part of a trilogy (i think) ,has an epic storyline, good characters GREAT music and overall is great game.

Enslaved and Vanquish are both great.  So I would definitely suggest one of them.  If I must recommend one, then I would say Vanquish.  Enslaved is a very close second.  But definitely not Castlevania.  It got boring very quickly. 

Edit: Just wanted to add that enslaved and vanquish are very short games.  If you don't like replaying games then they may not be worth the full price.

i haven't played any of them yet but i'd probably play castlevania or vanquish first

is enslaved a linear game,i don't actually know is it a puzzle adventure type

I got Enslaved and I loved it a lot.  Like many said, not much replay value but it still ranks as one of my favorites.  Just thought I'd mention that both Enslaved and Castlevania are currently $39 at K-Mart.  You can grab one for $20 off or grab both for $20 more than the price of a single brand new game.

I went through the same thoughts you've been going through. I've asked around at numerous Gamestops with employees and this seems to be the consensus. 

 

-Vanquish is a highly recommended rent. Great adrenaline fused gameplay but a short campaign with a shitty story.  

-Enslaved has a great story, but the campaign is too short and the gameplay is pretty good but not great.

-Castlevania has great gameplay and good story and is over 20 hours give or take of gameplay.

 

I bought Castlevania and right now I do not regret my purchase. Plus, I just got Gamefly so after I finish castelvania its Vanquish, then enslaved.

 

The force unleashed was the game I actually pre-ordered, but the game only has six hours of gameplay. I watched a guy at my dorms play it. It was amazing yet saddening to see how short it was
