Talk:Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Untitled
''' Trivia? ''' Maybe it should be noted that you can receive a rare item if you have a completion save for Castlevania: Lament of Innocence stored on the same memory card being used for Curse of Darkness. Just my thought CharlieP216 22:46, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, I like your thought. If you want to mention it, go ahead and do that. Also, is Castlevania: Curse of Darkness inappropriate (other than blood and violence) in any way? Because I really want to buy it, and I'm not 17. I'm younger. Could someone PLEASE answer. I know it wouldn't help this site in any ways, and these aren't forums, but I really have my eyes glued to that game...


 * It's due to the small amount of blood and occult contentCharlieP216 20:02, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I have a completion save but received not "rare item" also it is appropriate nothing majorly disturbing as there are in some games.

Well, let's put it this way. Out of these three games, which is the most appropriate? Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, or Castlevania: Lament of Innocence?

Well, if you're still interested, and you still check this. I'd say in order from most to least SotN, CoD, LoI. With a little interchangability between SotN and CoD. The least appropriate parts of SotN are Beelzebub (boss monster, giant rotting corpse), Granfaloon (boss, giant sphere of corpses, also appears as "Legion" in CoD and many other Castlevania games), and Bloody Zombie (a normal, and weak, enemy whose spine breaks and spews out blood, along with a scream, when you kill him.) That, and some semi-nude statues (but you actually have to be looking real hard to notice). I put CoD second because (well, for one SotN is one of my favorite games) it's 3-d, and again, it features Legion/Granfaloon. As for LoI, it's a bit darker... imo; also I thought the graphics were more realistic. In addition to that, the secret boss was one of the goriest monsters I've seen in a video game. Altogether, nothing really that'd give you nightmares, unless your parents are the anti-video-game type (actually, my mother always said "video games are the root of all evil" or something like that, and I was still playing games like this when I was 12 or younger.)

Rare Item for LoI Save and Comment
For the "rare item" it is actually a moai statue you can find near where you start (head away from the castle to find it). and if anyone can add more character information please add it. castlevaniamaster1 11:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

"Arrives At The Ruins of Castlevania"
This bit in the storyline is wrong. The Abandoned Castle (and first level) is not Castlevania itself. In the series, "Castlevania" is another name for Castle Dracula, which doesn't appear until the end of the game - it's the last level. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.170.191 (talk) 05:21, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Graphic novel
Apparently Tokyopop has published two volumes of a graphic novel version of Curse of Darkness. Kaguya-chan (talk) 23:47, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Error regarding release
While I can't confirm actual dates I can confirm that the first paragraph in this article is inaccurate in stating that the game was only released on PS2 for Japan. I personally remember purchasing this game in the US from a GameStop store (although I can't remember if it was during the same time as the xbox release) with the NTSC U/C region locking code.

I was able to find a scan of the box art insert on google images (apologies if this is not allowed. Posted with the best of intentions). https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ByJ7_QJmk9E/maxresdefault.jpg

I would edit the article myself however I don't know how to write wiki codes and most importantly I do not have the specific date of release for the PS2 release. Also the sentence that follows may be irrelevant if they were released simultaneously for XBOX and PS2.
