This game is absolutely bad ass. Gabriel is a bad ass. The voice acting is bad ass. The musical score is bad ass. The Narration by Sir Patrick Stewart is bad ass. The level design is bad ass. The action is bad ass. The enemies and bosses are bad ass. PLAY THIS GAME!

I played this first on Xbox 360, it was a beautiful game then, and it still holds up on PC. Very rich story, fun game play, over all I still liked it.

I didn't expect much from this game, got it on sale real cheap, I never played this back when it came out, I remember ppl talking bad about it, and it kinda deserved it, it feels like a 2008 game released in 2013. But that aside, I enjoyed the gameplay (takes some getting used to) and the story (origin story for dracula and the Belmont clan). A linear game in 2026 feels like a breath of fresh air and a break from all the massive open world games. In summary I had fun and now think this game is just very underrated.

Only flaw with this game is the DLC last boss, besides that it's pretty much perfect. Play it if you like good stuff. 16 years later and I still come back to it occasionally.
