I just picked up my preorder bonus. I'm willing to rip it and upload it if someone here can't get it.

I haven't listened to the CD yet but, the art book and time line/poster look really nice.

How many pages is the art book?

Re: Castlevania Portrait of Ruin thread

It's not numbered but, it's like 50.

Re: Castlevania Portrait of Ruin thread

I'm really regretting not pre-ordering the game now. I figured the art book would be super-short like the microscopic Megaman 8 "art book"(6 pages).

How many tracks are on the CD?

[Naruto]

Re: Castlevania Portrait of Ruin thread

37 tracks in all. There are a few 8-bit CV tracks that are under a minute in there too though. It has a few songs from most of the games. I think only 2 of the GB games don't have any in there.

How the wi-fi mode turns out will determine if I want to get it or not.

Re: Castlevania Portrait of Ruin thread

AGH!!! I forgot to pre-order the game. I thought it was coming out in January.

I even have gone as far as asking my cousin to see if he can snag me a copy of the bonus from the store he works at....

Really? O_o It's all about the main 1 player mode, man. The online mode is sort of like the Boss Rush mode from the previous games from what I've heard.

Re: Castlevania Portrait of Ruin thread

are the tracks orchestrated? I got some amazing orchestrated Castlevania tracks back in the Kazaa days, but I have them no longer.

Re: Castlevania Portrait of Ruin thread

All the tracks are straight from the games so, I guess only SOTN, LOI, and COD songs would be orchestrated if the were in the original games.

I could never really get into Castlevania. I did rent Dawn of Sorrow. I got up to the first part with the ice blocks and that was just annoying. But I've played other Castlevanias (not SotN though) and I couldn't get into the groove.

I find it an easy groove to get into.

Re: Castlevania Portrait of Ruin thread

Yeah, I preordered this yesterday and got all the bonus goodies. The CD is fun, although the track listing is wrong in a few places. I'm excited for the game, even though I have a million final projects I should be working on instead.

My game and premium gift set have shipped.


Though they are technically Christmas gifts, and I will not get my grubby mitts on them till the Easter Bunny hatches.
