Im so tired of these posts about casltevania being the "best loking game...".

The game has a static camera, and by doing so feels limiting, dated and borderline frustrating due to camera sucking ass in some moments. The cost at making this game good looking was too great and really wasn't worth it... Taking that visual movement freedom away from the gamer in 2010 is criminal and knocks it down visually in my eyes.

Not to mention that gameplay is completely dwarfed and plays second fiddle to its presentation and voice acting. Thats a blasphemy for castlevania games. I played around 4 hours of it and then returned it to blockbuster for Enslaved with is much better.

Hope it fails badly and that they never try making a serious, story based castlevania with second rate gameplay.

Also, where the F*** are the heavy metal inspired tunes? Nothing I like about castlevania series and 10 games I played fromt hat universe is present here.

Enslaved??? seriously? I loved the videos, I loved the characters, and I wanted to love the game but its just damn boring!! What is that? can I even call that gameplay? blinking object ? extreme tearing, popup graphics, camera? sheesh... I would change it everytime for castlevania...!

I havent played any of Castlevania yet-not even the demo-but I do have Enslaved and it's visually stunning, offers lots of variety, and aside from some 2D plants I noticed in one level, a technical marvel. Nor one instance of screen tearing in the 7 levels I've played either. Nor was there a hint of pop-up at any time. In your attempts to build up Castlevania, let's not exagerrate. Okay?

I do NOT own castlevania, I would like to, instead I bought Enslaved collectors cuz I loved Heavenly Sword... Technical marvel? never... even Characters are shaking, everything, I played it... remember, I played it to the end... This is NEVER the best multiplat title, I would like to call it so... but it is not! Also there are audio problems I have encountered.

Characters shaking? Everything (could you narrow that down a bit?) Audio problems? I haven't encountered any of these, ever and I have one level left to go. I'm not one of those "Frame per second, 720p" guys but I know that the final image/presentation that appears on screen is pretty impressive. And you called it out on a lack of gameplay. The Cloud riding segments, the areas with Pigsy, the parts where you have to sneak past robots without setting them off, the cool boss fights, using Trip as a decoy while you avoid enemy fire, finding the right path in the robot factory, the puzzles in Trips village.....C'mon, MAN!

I never said it was the best mult-plat, either (not seriously, anyway). I'd give it an 8/10 unless something truly amazing happens in the next chapter. It's definitely worth my money and it's definitely a beautiful looking game. One of the best I've ever seen. I'm downloading Castlevania's demo as we speak. If it's good, I'll buy it. I don't have any ties to Enslaved other than the fact that it's a game that I thought was cool and I bought it. I've done that hundreds and hundreds of times before. I just think that you may be exaggerating its flaws just a tad.

The 360 version runs better, but both versions of the game are plagued with screen tearing and choppy frame rate. You're very lucky if you don't see them. The frame rate drop is particularly annoying when you rotate the camera in action heavy sequences. Again, good for you if you can't notice those issues.

The game still looks good, but its engine shows as many flaws, if not more, than Castlevania's (which mostly only suffers from some frame rate drops here and there, with no screen tearing issues at all. And its lighting engine is absolutely fantastic!).
