In Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, players take on the role of Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Orlean. During World War II, many lost souls from the global conflict were left to wander the world in search of salvation. Desperate to escape their terrible plight, they sought to resurrect Dracula's Castle from the rubble of society, assisted by two mysterious vampire sisters. Now Jonathan and Charlotte must work together to confront the two vampire sisters, and ensure that this villainous catastrophe is not unleashed on the world. Gameplay
Evolving the action-adventure gameplay that has been the series' trademark for 20 years, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin lets players switch freely between Jonathan and Charlotte as they proceed on their heroic mission, each with their own strengths, abilities and style of play. Players can now utilize powerful combination attacks in which both characters unleash the full extent of their combat abilities to decimate the game's more than 100 different enemies and bosses. In their quest to stop Dracula's resurrection, Jonathan and Charlotte can collect and use different weapons, equipment, and items to increase their overall skill level and acquire new abilities. As mentioned before, players can switch freely between both characters, a necessary option to win the game. For instance, you need to analyze certain situations and carefully choose to play either Jonathan or Charlotte in order to successfully battle against the vampire army. The two characters can also combine their powers to pull-off powerful combo attacks. Their combined abilities are needed in certain parts of the castle in order to progress through the game. The game has two different endings. Both endings involve the prevention of Dracula's resurrection, however only one actually involves the defeat of Brauner. Different choices allow for a uniquely diverse gameplay experience. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin supports the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection with a limited cooperative play mode feature. There is an online shop mode used through Wi-Fi as well. Players are able to put their items up for sale in a realistic marketplace. And perhaps best of all, when another player buys the item, the selling player gains the money but doesn't lose the item.

A great castlevania game. Posted 15 March 2007
Doesn't top the greats in the series: Castlevania III, Rondo, and Symphony. But it comes close with its storyline, lv.1 hard mode, and boss battles. Co-op should have been available through the entire game, but you cant have everything I guess.
Pretty generic in gameplay, rather disappointing graphics Posted 05 March 2007
CPR, as this game has come to be known, is, frankly speaking, a generic game in the Castlevania series. I'm glad I played it as a rental instead of shelling out $30 of good money for it. The storyline is both nondescript and nonexistent, and the game plays straightforwardly. The graphics, like other Castlevania games, is rather poor, little improved over the old GBA versions. Overall it makes a worthwhile play for hardcore Castlevania fans -- and Amazon's super-low price is a big help.
Symphony of the Night lover and I love this one too! Posted 26 January 2007
I was a little skeptical about buying this game since the only Castlevania game I ever played was Symphony of the Night (and thats my fav of all time!). This was a very fun and awesome game! I love the portraits that you can warp into to make the game longer and all the weapons and especially Charlotte's spells!!! The only thing wrong with this game is that was easy to beat. I guess they give you some pretty powerful weapons and spells because the only boss I found difficult was the first one. I still recommend this game because it is a lot of fun and interesting!!!
Great game. Posted 20 January 2007
Extensive game. Lots of game timr. And, of course, lots of game extras.
One of the Best Posted 20 January 2007
One of the best games money can buy. The co-op mode can get a little stale after awile, but the game is huge and once beaten you unlock two more sets of characters to tour the paintings with.
