The game is a mixed bag, but i have completed it to 98%, so this will probably be the most accurate impressions you will see.
First, every review that moans about the stealth sections, ignore. Yeah they are puzzles and not actual stealth gameplay, but they also ammount to about 2% of your play time.
The real hazzards on this game are the auto targeting system, mostly on ranged projectiles and incredibly complex matrix the levels are connected by. Of course, you will only notice these if you try to delve deeper into the gameplay, but they will rear their ugly heads eventually. The only other thing is that the story didnt turn out as epic as i was expecting and is actually quite predictable aside one short appearance.
Aside from those execution problems the game has adefinitive castlevania vibe and if you liked the first or are curious about the series, its not a terrible game to get. Graphics are amazing too.
