retail outlets nationwide.
From Konami:
The legendary action/adventure series, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence for
the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system boasts a powerful storyline,
stunning 3D graphics and outstanding gameplay. The game has been developed by
luminary producer Koji Igarashi at Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo and is
rated M for Mature by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA).
Drawing inspiration from the past titles including the critically acclaimed
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PlayStation, 1997), Castlevania: Harmony of
Dissonance (GameBoy Advance, 2002) and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GameBoy
Advance, 2003), Koji Igarashi and the talented team at Konami Computer
Entertainment Tokyo have woven all of the classic platform-jumping,
problem-solving and combat elements into Castlevania: Lament of Innocence.
Further enhancing the overall gaming experience is the highly stylized artwork
of Ayami Kojima and the mesmerizing musical score composed by Michiru Yamane.
Building on a 17-year legacy of games, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence takes
players centuries into the past to reveal the origins of the Belmont family and
Dracula. In the role of patriarch Leon Belmont, players will discover how the
Belmont clan became vampire hunters - the foundation on which all other
Castlevania games are based.
Specifically crafted for the PlayStation2, the game features impeccable
controls and fluid camera angles that effectively keep pace with the exciting
in-game action. Players will battle hundreds of enemies while exploring the
expansive sanctuary of the undead. Whipping their way through the 500+ rooms,
players will also collect relics and master powerful attacks in order to defeat
the gruesome monsters.
