Posted by substance J on May 16, 2008 at 18:22:30 EST in reply to Can you explain why you think Dawn of Sorrow is better than Portrait of Ruin? They seem exactly the same to me. (n/t) from Sweater Fish Deluxe.
Portrait of Ruin has all these rooms that are big empty spaces that don't seem to have any purpose or theme, just a place for you to have to spend time killing a bunch of stuff. I only played for about half an hour but it seemed like filler. Even the backgrounds I remember were just ambient lighting, no detail or anything. The character switching was pointless and I don't really like that kind of gimmick to begin with. Dawn of Sorrow was tighter in every way and the castle felt more like a real space and had lots of little details. Something cool happened at a regular pace and I wasn't made sick of the whole thing by the time I reached Dracula. I also loved how "easy" it was. It just had a good flow to it.
