my first Castlevania game

I love this game. i have since i first started playing it. it never got boring.
the glyph system is great, and smooth. it's also really in depth. there are so many glyphs to find, and upgraded ones that you find even later. each new glyph provides a new interesting twist in gameplay, and never is that twist particularly boring. the game allows you to be able to use the glyphs you want, and using a particular one never feels like punishment.
then there is sound and visuals, i mean wow. this soundtracks one of my favorites from any video game. and the backgrounds of all the maps and platforms are really nice looking. the glyphs look great also
now to get to the thing that people are griping about like wimps. the difficulty. this game is hard. suck it up. i'm 14 and beat it just fine. you just ned to be patient, and maybe grind your levels a little, which i only figured out on my second play through. my first one i beat the final boss at level 26, granted i had every glyph, but still if i can do it at such a low level you can do it at a high one . i'm half way through my second play through at the moment, and i've died a total of 4 times. once you get the patterns that occur in levels, and enemies in them, it becomes a great deal easier. the bosses are still ridiculously hard, but if you keep patient, and watch, they become a lot easier.
there is also the problem of item lacking. i mean there isn't anything you can do about it, so embrace it, and work your way around healing items.
i know this game can be cheap sometimes, but if you just relax, and let yourself get over the frustratingly difficult aspects, you'll see a fantastic game.
