One of the best in the series.
Well I'd like to start off by saying that this has got to be one of the best Castlevania games by far! I've never really been a fan, but I have played a good couple, so I know what to look for. The art style in this game is exceptionally detailed and of a certain anime look. The sound in the game is very nice, It has the original Castlevania music that we all loved, and it has a Crisp quality. One of my biggest pet peeves in the game would have to be the lag of the sound quality. This game has nothing of that sort. The game begins with the main character Jonathan Morris who is in the belmont family, that doesn't exactly know how to use his whip. There is also another main character, Charotte Aulin, who is the...ummmmm...side-kick I guess you could say, that comes in use. It's the year 1944 and a great war has broke loose, the characters find themselves at the feet of a huge creepy castle owned by the famous Dracula, and his servant. Although you face Dracula's servant and his two daughters more than you face Dracula, giving the sense that his servant runs everything. Now I'm not going to get too into the story, because this is a review, which is mostly about me giving my opinion and voice on something. Something that I noticed that I found damn irritating was how when I played this game, even by the slightest tap it would freeze. Now I don't know if maybe it was just my DS lite or it was the game, but It was something that I really noticed that I'd advice you to look out for. I felt that this game had a bit of a high difficulty level. This game sure has a variety to chose from, and that's another thing I really liked. The ability to chose many different weapons, items, multiple characters to use, and just overall extra functionalities.The controls in the game are superb! Although I would have liked to see more touch screen action like in Dawn of Sorrow, but that's not the worst thing possible. I do like how the other controls are integrated though. As if everything has a specific purpose no matter what, in the neatest way possible. This is a great game that I think will no doubt spawn a whole new audience!
