The game is an ok arena fighter. Takes elements from the Castlevania games and incorporates into the game such as breaking various items for various power ups and items. Game has unlockable characters so you'll have something to aim for. Love the remix of vampire killer in this version (which is features in smash bros ultimate).

bought this to fill out my castlevania collection. very good condition, great price

If you're into fighting games in the same vein as those old 3D Naruto games for the Wii, you're in luck. Art is pretty sweet, unique skins for old characters(by the Death Note guy wowwie), and the gameplay is pretty easy to pick up. My only regret is that I never got to experience how hard the online meta of this one was, because it had to be some kind of torture I'm sure.

Honestly, I enjoyed this game. Well, that is, until my parents took it away from me. The game is fun, but challenging. Just a warning for parents, this game is a little inappropriate. Dracula is listed as "The King of Demons", there is a vampire lady who "enjoys bathing in the blood of innocents", and the women in the game, well, aren't quite appropriate in the way they are designed. So that's that. Also warning for anyone not legally an adult if you have christian parents, avoid this one until you go to college.

I expect no less from the illustrator that brought us "Hikaru No Go", "Death Note"; the action by the 8ing (Eighting) company; and the memorable characters from Konami. The storyline of this fighting game makes a rather good follow-up to the Castlevania series; of course when it comes to taste to an individual character and the lack of more fighters in the beat-em-up, we can't all be winners.

I have played alot of Castlevania games as I got older. Every single one has made me crave more, or sequels. This game makes me crave another fighter with a bigger roster of characters. The controls for the Wii remote and Nunchuck are simple enough, but some fights take some time to figure out how to beat the character. I highly reccomend this to people who need a break from Super Smash Bros. and Zelda. Also, I wish that they would've switched out Golem for Soma Cruz.

Castlevania Judgment trades the series' signature hack and slash gameplay for a 1 on 1 fighting formula...but don't get too excited. It's a good concept, really--but everything about this game feels like a missed opportunity. The combat is VERY simplistic, resembling more of a competitive action game than a true arcade fighter (think Power Stone or Super Smash Bros., only much less polished). Battles quickly devolve into pressing the same button 3 or 4 times, then tacking on a simple finisher to perform the one effective combo each character has. The inclusion of special items in the stages offers a little variety, but they're not particularly useful in a heated match. Most of Castlevania's mainstay characters are here in some shape or form, but good luck recognizing them (Simon has been reduced to a skinny emo guy, Grant looks like a mummy, and Death is now some sort of robo-skeleton). To make matters worse, the story and spoken dialogue are awful...and the load times between matches aren't too fast either. On a positive note, the soundtrack is excellent--full of redone versions of classic Castlevania tunes. As a long-time Castlevania fan, I really wanted to like Judgment...but it's a sub-par effort at best. If you do decide to give this one a try, I recommend using the Classic controller--which IS supported here, thankfully--as the standard controls involve shaking the wii remote continuously to attack, which can tire your wrist quickly.

I bought this game over the summer. While it isn't the best game overall, especially in a series with as much acclaim as Castlevania, it CAN provide some degree of fun. The controls may seem dumb and frustrating, but the game does have a degree of challenge to it. And no, the controls are not what's challenging. Certain stages can use the hazards around to make the already frustrating fight that much more frustrating. The array of characters is decent enough, although one should wonder why the heck Golem was included. At all. Being a huge fan of the series I felt disappointed that Richter wasn't included. The storyline leaves a lot to be desired. Through my 2.5 hour playthrough (That's all the time it took, this game is really really short.), I was constantly facepalming at the way they massacred the entire series characters and storyline. Even for an addict such as myself, this game doesn't give one the fix they need when they want a GOOD Castlevania game. Bottom line, while the game isn't as terrible as Simon's Quest, the game was a MAJOR letdown. If you own a Wii, and are willing to spend some extra cash, pick up a Wii Points card and buy Rondo of Blood. Rondo will be the best way to forget this monstrosity. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

The thing about this game is that i was an experimental idea into the realm of fighters. Its not meant to be canon and its not meant to be super special, a hardcore castelvania fan will love it but to must others it could be a push off. Its fighting style is very well in-tuned to the Wii's controls but lacks the technical levels of Street Fighter or Mortal kombat so its not Tournament worthy. Its story is little but it does have some funny lines of dialogue. The voice actors are famous in the anime world and are well casted for each character and the character themselves are all fresh looking compared to there original sprite forms. Overall its just something to have some fun with and sure it can get old but if you have a friend it can be fun plus at the used price its worth it.

This game is cool just it gets old realy fast. if you have wondered about buying this game..........DONT.
