Hector can conjure various Familiars or "Innocent Devils" to aid him in his quest. That's all very compelling, but how does it translate into gameplay? Being a practitioner of the dark arts has its perks. Hector is left with no choice, but to go back on his promise and practice the dark art once more. He held true to his vow for four years until his rival Isaac reemerged with a plan to resurrect the Count. Appalled by the evil of his master, Hector swore to never use his powers of darkness again. In Curse of Darkness you play as Hector, a Devil Forgemaster and former agent of Count Dracula. That said, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is still a disappointment. With a pair of undercooked games for the Nintendo 64 and last years PS2 offering, expectations for 3D Castlevania games aren't exactly high. While several franchises have made the jump into the third dimension rather gracefully (Mario, Zelda, Ninja Gaiden and Metal Gear) some haven't. Now, a decade later it's easy to see which side won. Ten years ago when Sony and Sega were just launching what would be the 32-bit generation of consoles a debate raged between both fanboys and developers about the fate of 2D gaming in the 3D age.
