The story is excellent, it is much longer than most action games these days, and there are a few cool nods to the CVs of old.

I'm not knocking the game itself, but I just don't see why they stamped Castlevania on the title. Mario didn't need a revamp, neither has Zelda. Why can't Simon Belmont (or any Belmont and the whip) be a part of the videogame canon too? Like I said, the game looks great, and another plus b/c Patrick Stewart is the narrator, but the Castlevania series to me is 1-4, SOTN, and Rondo of Blood (and the two new side-scroller downloads on Wii and PS3).
