Castlvania ftw

Strengths: grate explorashin baset side scroler

Weakness: feels like a gba game

Dawn of sorrow is the latest in the Castlvania series its one of the biggest and my personal fevered. The story is interesting and the areas divers. I have met ppl that don’t like this type of game, and I most admit that it can get a little dull, but I have always loved this series and I think, if you give it a shot you will to

2D at it's finest

Strengths: -best graphics on DS

Weakness: -no touch screen

After playing with this game for 15 hours, it has wore on me. It is wonderful. Awesomely great. The bosses take up half the screen, just like old school 2D platformers. I love the classic whip and sword to defeat vampires and undead zombies. After defeating several bosses and gaining abilities, it shows that this is probably the best Castlevania gaming experience to date.

How many sorrows?

Strengths: -Castlevania DS brings back the 2D side scrolling action -Probably the best game on the DS currently -Much better than Symphony of the Night

Weakness: -Little to no touch screen use

This game is too great. I've been playing for nearly 3 days now and it is just so awesome. I'm already halfway through it, in about 10 hours, but it rocks. The soul collecting and map exploring, along with the 3D like backgrounds and 2D Soma sprites add to the experience. The point being that this is probably the best 2D gaming experience you can get on the DS...ever. The 2nd screen serves the...

Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow

There is no greater event than the time when a new Castlevania arrives. Game Boy Advance was gifted with three of Konami's finest, and although it's still a viable platform, it's time for the series to move onto the next generation: Nintendo DS. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow does not follow the lead of Kirby and Yoshi by turning the series into a game where the character or environment must be...

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow Review

Not since Symphony of the Night has a Castlevania soundtrack sounded as crisp or well written as this one. Beautifully orchestrated music echoes through the DS speakers, changing as you enter each new area, while retaining that trademark Castlevania musical styling that has been somehow missing in each of the Game Boy Advance Castlevania releases. The sound effects in the game perfectly...
