I was greatly impressed by the last GBA Castlevania which was Aria of Sorrow. I even went on to call it the greatest Castlevania of all time. Well, now theres a new king and its the latest for the Nintendo DS.
If youve played the previous game, Aria of Sorrow, then you will be right at home. Everything in Dawn of Sorrow follows Aria very closely. From the maps, enemies, souls, weapons, and graphics. But this time everythings better. The amount of polish in this game is ridiculous. Everything looks, plays, sounds, and acts perfectly. This is one refined game.
The amount of depth to this game is crazy too. From the hundreds of souls you can gather, which is insanely addictive, to the numerous awesome weapons you can forge, this game will keep you item gatherers busy.
And if youre just a casual player then this game has what you want too. A nice story, fun gameplay, and some challenge thrown in for good measure.
Also, sealing the monsters away for good with the stylus is surprisingly fun. It adds a great deal of tension to already tough boss battles. Its such a simple and fun idea that its brilliant.
Right now Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow is the greatest game available for the Nintendo DS. If you have a DS you HAVE to own this game. This is the type of game that you would buy a system or portable for. Its that good.

I never played any of the previous castlevania games so this is my first time. I have to say even without using the stylus much in this DS title, you really appreciate the top screen especially with the persistent map. The castle is huge and that map really helps you to get around to places. It is surprisingly addictive for an adventure game. I find the bosses are not terribly difficult to beat and the game doesn't cause me frustrations due to unbeatble bosses so that is good. The background music as well as graphics is first grade for 2 D. I for one don't like 3 D games as much as 2 D's. But within the realms of 2 D gamss, this has to be one of the best ones out there. Since it is a DS game, the graphics is greatly improved from the GBA games. Everything is beautifully illustrated with details on all monsters and background. ANyway, this game got super high rating on some major gaming websites and magazines and I think it totally earned the rating after playing it for about 2 weeks now. If you love action adventure side scrolling games with great music and graphics then you would love this game. Highly recommanded for everyone, gamers or non-gamers.

Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow was my first experience in the Castlevania series (even though it dates all the way back to the original NES days). Without a doubt, this is one of the best games available on the Nintendo DS. This classic platformer hearkens back to the gaming days of yore, where ultra-realistic graphics played second fiddle to fun gameplay. And boy is this a fun game!
There are two interesting points about this game, as compared to other similar platform games:
1. When you die, it's "game over." This caught me a little off guard when I started playing (I expected to have another "man" available). Thankfully, you can save your progress at any time via a number of save points throughout the castle; you just have to remember to actually do it (especially after the tough boss battles).
2. There's really only one level. Well, call it one and a half. The castle itself is the primary level, and "The Abyss" is the final (what I'll call) half of a level. Don't get me wrong, however; the castle is gigantic! It will easily take most players 15 to 20 hours to get through this game (possibly even longer; I know it took me a long time to beat).
There are so many abilities (over 100) and items (nearly as many) to pick up throughout the course of the game, that it quickly becomes a completist's dream. Getting 100% soul (ability) collection is really tough, and something I have yet to do. Which makes this game all the sweeter; there's always some goal to reach.
If you live under a rock like I do, and you've never checked out any of the Castlevania games, I highly recommend picking this one up. The sequel to this (Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin) is also fun, but this one takes top billing. Highly recommended for platformer fans!

Classic Castlevania
The DS series of Castlevania are 2D side scollers at their best. Its purely a fun game with many hidden areas and items inline with the rest of the side scrolling series. Read more

Dawn of Sorrow Review
As a Castlevania fan, I did enjoy this game. It is a nice follow-up to Aria of Sorrow for the GBA. The areas are beautifully designed, and the boss battles are original as well. Read more

This made a long time Castlevania fan very happy!
I remember playing the original Castlevania when I was younger (around age 10 or 11), and I always remember how punishingly difficult the game seemed. Read more
