Wow, I'm  on a roll with these just a link replies. Anyway, go to the Judgment section (bottom left of the Ecclesia window), and then select Downloads. Seems they have all but Trevor.

I'm going to just come out and say it. As much as I love Castlevania, Judgement is absolutly terrible, and using the Wii Mote makes it virtually unplayable, worse this game is Castlevania only in name and the characters, but other then that it's a clone of SoulCaliber

I love how people call it a Soul Calibur clone even though it's absolutely nothing like it. I doubt those people, including you, have played SC, or at least seen a video.

*shrugs* Soul Cal is a good series. I don't blame Konami for wanting to emulate that play style and weapon effects, not to mention some of the earliest attempts the second game made with Story Modes and its various trials. Only problem was they were already outdated by the time Judgment was in production as has been pointed out already on this very thread.

Don't really see how its like Soul Caliber at all...it plays a lot more like Bloody Roar or Power Stone...

I mean a 3/10 from Gamespot? C'mon! "3" games should be considered unplayable, and KCET would never let something like that out.

I think it's the graphical presentation combined with the new engine that is causing all the problems. Most of the main characters look drastically different. Now couple this with the new classic one on one type battle style and it's probably why it's turning off some players. Might be too much change at one time. I haven't played the game yet so I don't really have an opinion on it but I think these 2 deals are the root of the low review problem. It's like Jason Goes to Hell, too much new stuff presented to us all at once. It Lost the Friday the 13th feel with all the changes and such. I think this is probably the case with the sites that give it low reviews.

Eh, GameFAQs has it at a 7.7 rating average, with a 6.6 reader review.  Gamespot's low score seem to be from reviewers who play the game for three minutes and then are forced to write some tripe about it.

It's happened before.

It's essentially like the boss fights of the PS2 games.

The japanese site has updated.  You can find a bunch of new wallpapers and some of the comic strips under Gallery.
