Castlevania - Innocence Lamented, 3D Debated

Thanks to GameSpot for their review of Castlevania:Lament Of Innocence for PlayStation 2, released today in the U.S., as they pronounce this "new 3D installment" to be "a fun, though fairly short and simple, game that marks a promising new beginning for this beloved series." GameSpy also have an interview with the creator, Konami producer Koji Igarashi, but end up judging the title a "very playable but somewhat dull game", and 1UP try a different tack by nominating the Top 10 Belmonts, discussing the "Belmont family of vampire hunters", before ruling similarly to the other reviews, albeit with a more upbeat edge: "Taken on its own terms, Lament of Innocence is a resounding success, and one of the best 3D action games on PS2." Would you prefer the Castlevania series stuck to 2D, or is 3D the only way to truly evolve it?

Castlevania X and Castlevania IV were two different games on the SNES. Castlevania 4 was done by the team that eventually broke off to form Treasure (Radiant Silvergun, Gunstar Heroes), and Castlevania X was a sad port/remake of Rondo of Blood.

Did you not like both of them, or are you getting the two confused?

Just a reminder

This is not the first foray into the 3d world for the francise.. The castlevania on the n64 was the first to break that wall.... will unfortunately poor results (imo)
