I will say though, the gameplay of all the characters is VERY similar and are only differentiated by their sub-weapons. The game otherwise is amazing. I like how Alucard uses "Teleport Whip". So far, Mercurysteam has shown the potential to elevate Castlevania. I'm glad, this is day 1 buy for me... And I'll buy the HD too if the game is worth several replays.
