Thanks John for spending time linking those games. RTK means alot to me because it was the first RPG game I played. Its a damn shame that Pyrotechnix didnt make a sequel for it... Anyway anyone who likes a good story, decent ( ) voice acting and a good item / stat system should check it out.

Okay I feel I should add these. They are third person games, and reviews suffer somewhat from die hard 2d castlevania fans. I really enjoyed these games.

Castlevania: lament of innocence

Odd title, but amazing game with the graphics pushed to the max on a PS2 game.
Lots of items and secrets, good story, some small puzzles and lots of free roaming.
Combat is easy to learn, but takes time to master along with learning new techniques.
It features a beautiful, haunting soundtrack...
The type you dont forget easily. The best part of it is that it is consistent and composed by one artist.

The protagonist is a noble and interesting character too, probably one of my fave Castlevania protagonists.

Castlevania: curse of darkness

Very similar to LOI but features a new character, who can summon beasts to do his bidding.
Slightly less immersive plot compared to LOI, but new features make up for that.
Crafting items is simple and materials are abundant, but if you want to make something really special you'l have to grind.
Steal items from enemies, it requires timing.
Amazing summoning system, keeping you interested from start to finish. Lots of quirky abilities like the ability to ride on your summon allow you to reach secret areas. Commanding your summon is quick and easy.
Great soundtrack, less haunting.


The only thing that slightly spoils these games is the over use of bright colours and the game lacks shadows.
