I used John on my first attempt, then tried Eric afterwards. I definitely prefer playing as Eric. He can attack in more directions than John, and he has that awesome high jump maneuver. I'm also pretty sure he attacks faster, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Sweet! I can butcher your name in the podcast once again...........DOH!
Yeah, I never expected my name would ever be spoken when I joined RFGen. I've considered changing it, but I have been too lazy to investigate how.
Profile -> Account Related Settings -> Name.
You can't change your Username that you use to login and track your collection, but you can change the name that's visible to everyone else on the forum.
Thanks, Shadow. I really thought it would be more difficult than that.
As for Bloodlines, Now I'm glad I played Castlevania on the NES before starting. The call back to the first level was much appreciated.

I should not have to answer with whome I play through the game :)Captain Obvious! Like I already experienced at Russ'house, it will be not easy for me to get til the end- even in easy mode. I am more used to sport- and racinggames.
Back at home I also was little bit unsure if I had the right version, when picked out the game-box. Because it read "Castlevania-The New Generation"...but that's only the title in PAL.
So together and with Password-system we can do this

I made it to Stage 6, but haven't gotten very far into it yet. 6-2 and 6-3 have to be two of the stupidest sections from any game I have ever played. They make absolutely no sense and are incredibly disorienting and frustrating. You'll see when you get there...
On a brighter note, I found out that if you go into the options menu and set the BGM and SE to 05 and 073 respectively, then whenever you get your weapon powered up all the way, the music changes to 'classic' Castlevania music. To my knowledge, this is the only way in the game to hear Bloody Tears, which is possibly my favorite track from any game ever.

So I went back and gave it another shot, and this happened:

Overall, I really enjoyed this game. I'll probably go back and do another playthrough as John. I might attempt to do it on Expert, but I feel like I only finished Normal by the skin of my teeth, so we'll see how that goes.

Congrats on finishing Disposed! I think this game is going to be quite a challenge for many of us.

Little late but here I am:

I've never played this game before. I really liked the second stage. The reflection effect was pretty cool and I REALLY liked the moving portions of the stage where you had to not get caught in the water.

I agree Bil. Stage 2 is really beautiful. The water reflections are cool and it seems they really put a lot of love into the game here. The rising and falling of the water is a neat addition to the game and though it makes some of the parts of the stage a bit more cumbersome, I think it's done well enough that it isn't overly difficult for the average player.

yes I think stage 2 might be my favorite. Less favorite and out of place was I think stage 4. You are randomly in a warehouse fighting people with guns and the boss was some gear monster. Thought hey could have done better with that.

Yeah, I'm at the warehouse right now and it is a very odd level. It fits time-wise, but is aesthetically out of place. This game is odd in that it is one of the first (if not the first) Castlevania games where you travel to other parts of the world instead of staying solely in Dracula's Castle, or in one specific regional area (such as in Simon's Quest).

A small bit of trivia.... Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is the sequel to this game.
