The demos of Dante's Inferno and Castlevania put me off buying those games. I didn't like the combat or story telling of Dante's Inferno or the combat of Castlevania. 

@ OP: If you want tight and satisfying combat go with NGS2. IMO It's the best hack'n'slash combat system. If you want a more story filled, character progression type game go with Castlevania. 

I have played the demos of all 4.

dante is an extremely bad looking game .(eliminated)

darksiders look like fun but environment feels very boring like a boring PS2 game. very dark with no soul if it makes sense.(eliminated)

now i loved both Ninja gaiden 2 and castlevania.

I  really liked the fighting mechanism of Ninja gaiden 2 better but i liked the overall look of castlevania better and don't know when you upgrade castlevania how trhe fighting will be like.

you guys are making it harder :(

Castlevania 10

ninja gaiden sigma 2     10

Well, Castlevania got its 10 faster. :P

BUY BOTH!!!!!

1. Castlevania

2. Ninja Gaiden 2

Haven't played the other two because they look like poop. If you want a more action oriented game then get Ninja Gaiden but Castlevania is better in all other fields.

Tie breaker time, if your torn between castlevania and NG get the cheaper one.

Which would be NG.

same price for both $35.00 here in canada

Castlevania            12

ninja gaiden 2        11

we'll ng is still better

BUY BOTH!!! Both games are awesome.

after watching castlevania gameplay combos online i m really disappointed how unsatisfying it is.It looks awesome though.

castlevania combo:

(very beautiful yet very boring gameplay wise)

ninja gaiden sigma 2:

(not as beautiful  but much more satisfying imo)
