What do you love most about Harmony o Despair?

I love how it's the first true multiplayer Castlevania game that bridges the gap between fans that was only limited with the DS titles. I Also love how it has new artwork for each character (except Simon for no reason)

I also love how you can zoom in & out to see what's going on in the entire level. However it may be useful or useless depending on the player. The dot size might be too small for some people when zoomed out, depending on your TV so it's really hit or miss. Personally I don't mind playing it with it zoomed, it offers a new perspective that hasn't been experienced before, but it really depends on how you want to play.

I like that it gives you the ability to play with almost every character that appeared in the series, allowing you to equip them with armors and other stuffs!!!

making Friends via Random players.

Over Half of my XBLA friends ended up being Castlevania mates, the CV:HD was the best community for an XBLive title.

I expect the same on PSN when of course, when I get my PS3 (eventually)

Love is a bit of a stretch --there's just so much to complain about...  Every time I look at Super Mario Bros Wii, I think about what this game could have been...  At least the remixes kick ass.

i enjoy the familiarity of the action with the new pick-up-and-play format.

I love how Harmony of Despair made me lose all interest in the Castlevania series, which has made me discover other games instead, great ones. Might as well rename this forum "General HoDespair Discussion". There are so many threads about this effin' game. I realize people REALLY like the game, and I am the one who don't belong here anymore :(

The inclusion of the hunter skills being a button and a direction combination is really nice. Too bad the rest of the game sucks horribly.

I like being able to fight through different Senarios throughout the series with the hero of my choosing.  And most of the boss fights are really fun.  The gameplay is a good fusion of the retro games and DS ones.

Definitely the online multiplayer aspect of the game.

It just had so much potential to it.

I have always wanted to play Castlevania with friends and other people and this game finally let me do that.

I just wish they would have not recycled as much and actually made a few new unique maps for the game.

And I also wish they would not have made Soma and Shanoa so broken and overpowered.

I think my favorite things were the Origins and Fuma stages. I thought it was a really nice bonus to see both of those as DLC, especially since it all kicked off with that awful (and overpriced) pyramid stage.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

The art is it's ONLY saving grace. There is nothing else about it that is too remarkable. Even the music is not the best. its all rock, all the time.

The hilariously bizarre voice clips. Who in the hell says "You take this!" in real life? And why does Shanoa sound like she's plugging her nose when she says "Lightning"?

Also thoroughly enjoyed the shout-out to Getsu Fuuma Den. Now if they'd only make a new game...

Hmm for the most part it would be playing with friends online and offline that's the best aspect for me. I find the bosses also challenging and fun to fight as well, and having all the characters from the different eras just adds on to how much Im enjoying the game.

May not be every person's cup of tea, but for those that it suits the taste its an ever growing awesome experience xD
