Review Summary: What moves like Twilight could not achieve!
Once there was Playstation as destined to be, it ruled the 5th generation video game consoles, brought us many classics like Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Symphony of the night etc. His Arch rivals Sega and Xbox can only dream to be that successful. Owning a PS was considered a luxury in those days and bitchy spoiled brats in school always get their games first. They will flash their arrogant asses looking down to us with their disgusting faces and their nose high enough to touch the ceiling. So we troubled our Parents and many got our Playstations on birthdays and well-done report cards. And by the time we got our PS 1 and went back to school guess what happened? Those rich kid’s playstations grew turned black increased their memory cards and are now supporting DVD games with high graphics. Then again we trouble our parents, some kidnapped their moms and Demanded a PS2 for a ransom! And then we got what we wanted again. And for a long time we kept it on same level as those rich mother***ers cuz PS3 didn’t came until a century later HE HE HE!
Now about this soundtrack: well not since the days of Symphony of the Night we’ve enjoyed a Michiru Yamane work this much, maybe because with this one Yamane has returned to the same gothic symphonic roots which made SOTN a worldwide considered masterpiece. It sounds similar to her previous work SOTN, but is darker and more atmospheric. With this record Yamane has redefined the sound of Vampirism with inclusion of various musical styles which makes this a lot more diverse that SOTN. Including some "bizarre" styles like indian classical music and middle eastern chanting which one would never associate with Castlevania, But it works!
There isn’t a single flaw that I could point out about this soundtrack. Really makes it up for the mediocrity of the game itself.
Favorite Tracks:
Abandoned Castle
Belmont the legend
Garibaldi Courtyard
Sarabande of Healing
