DESCRIPTION

Konami's whip-wielding, vampire-killing series makes its PlayStation 2 debut with Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. Set in the 11th century, the game traces the origins of the Belmont family through the story of original vampire hunter Leon Belmont. As with Castlevania and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness on Nintendo 64, the game eschews the standard 2D format in which the series has flourished in favor of a 3D engine with fixed camera angles.

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence consists of five sprawling sections of one castle: a cathedral, laboratory, garden, opera house, and a dungeon. Each area is riddled with traps and puzzles as well as numerous monsters roaming the castle's grounds. While there are hidden areas and a variety of items to collect, such as armor and relics, the role-playing elements found in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and the Game Boy Advance versions have been dropped to keep the emphasis on action.

In addition to the trademark whip, players can acquire the following sub-weapons: holy water, crystals (which act as mines), daggers, axes, and crosses. Combining these sub-weapons with orbs found in the castle will enhance their powers over time. The whip can also be altered with magic, and it can be used as a rope to swing across platforms or to pull Leon up to otherwise unreachable areas. There are two standard attacks players can perform — weak but speedy and powerful but slow — against more than 70 different creature types, including bosses and mini-bosses. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide

I'm missing some games! AHG! by: EarthboundX

“God I hate this, I finally started to alphabetize my games, which isn't too hard, since I already have them alphabetize on my games I own text list on my computer. Turns out I'm missing a few Ps2...”

“I've forgotten that Persona 3 and 4 aren't listed on GamerDNA.”

“Sigh...Mass Effect on the 360 is missing as well...”

“I have all my games on a bookcase, I don't know how people lose their games. I don't even leave mine in the system, when I'm done playing I promptly return them to their cases and place them back on the shelf. It took a long time to train him, but even my nine year old little brother does it now.

On a side note, I thought Liberty City Stories was only for PSP. Interesting.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Yeah, all my games are on my two bookcases, I have no idea how I would lose something, unless they were stolen. But since I got my entire collection stolen those years ago, I barely let anyone in my room.

I'm hoping they are somehow mixed up with my other games, and I'll find them once I alphabetize everything.

If I don't, then I have no idea where they are.”

“Hope you find them.”

“you poor bastard, you lost Mass Effect as well!”

“How do you misplace a Persona game? They are rare gems in the game world.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Well they weren't mixed in with my other games, so I have no idea where they are.

So far the most expensive to replace would be the Personas, around 30 bucks each.

I can get Mass Effect new for around 15.”

“Gonna do a mass cleaning of my room tomorrow, so maybe I'll find them then.”

“@EarthboundX Here's hoping you find your games soon.”

“noooooo hope u find mass effect soon”

“Woo! I found Persona 3 and 4! Kick Ass!

I have a feeling I'm gonna have to buy those other games again though, but they are pretty cheap.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Actually, losing these games gave me the reason to alphabetize my games, so something good came out of it.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Wondering if I should do my player's guides as well, have over 50 of those.”

DarthOdium was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“You should because organizing your games will put you in the mood to play old ones, which is why I'm playing the .hack//GU games now.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@DarthOdium I organized all my games last night, and today, took quite a while, The PC ones the most.

Might do my guides tomorrow, those might take longer, since I don't have a list of those.”

Fallout2Forever was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@EarthboundX Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

BTW. you came to show me something last night, but I was half awake. What was it?”

Lilit was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“That's seriously messed up. I know how that is. I came back from getting discharged from the military and over a dozen of my games were gone from my boxes where I packed them. Including Chaos Legion, Legend of Dragoon (orginal version) Koudleka, Xenosaga Ep 1 (the orginal version, not the greatest hits version)and many more. Some of my rarest games turned up missing. I found out my younger brother stole them and pawned them off to get games for himself.

Now lately he's stealing my movies.... four so far. It's not a good feeling to have games and anything else missing really.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@Lilit I know how that feels, my brother has stolen my games before as well. I just glad I ended up finding most of them, plus all my games and guides are in alphabetic order now, so it'll be easier to find.”

Lilit was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@EarthboundX I alphabetized just about anything that can be alphabetized. Books, strategy guides, games, movies, music. I have massive OCD when it comes to stuff like that. Glad to hear you're able to find your games, or at least most of those games, if your brother takes them.

I don't find my games however when my brother steals them. He trades them into games stores for money or games for himself. It's been so bad I have to keep a spread sheet of all my games and what consoles they belong just so I can keep track of all my games and what games he owes me for stealing them. Which is a little ridiculous, especially since I have to spend my time wrestling my 10-month old son to keep him from throwing all my games on the floor. xD Shouldn't have to worry about an 18 year old klepto of a brother.”

“I have a sheet of my games as well, haha.

Text document on my computer.”

“@EarthboundX It's the way to go now days, hehe.”

“Plus if you notice, I have a freakish number of game, the list is the only way to keep track of them.”
