Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Castlevania Double Pack collects two great Castlevania titles for the Game Boy Advance. The set provides twice the incredible gothic adventure for one low price! In Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, you'll use your new "Spell Fusion" powers to acquire the relics of Dracula, left behind from 50 years in the past, to unravel the disappearance of your friend Lydie. In Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow, you'll take on murderous monsters and absorb their souls to gain their abilities--and uncover a terrible secret.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance for GameBoy Advance brings players back into the world of Dracula, a place where unspeakable monsters lurk and powerful magic rules. Only 50 years have passed since Simon Belmont liberated the land from the menacing curse of Dracula. Now Juste Belmont--the latest scion in the legendary family of Vampire hunters--must take up his whip and storm a mysterious castle in search of his childhood friend Lydie.

Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow
Its the most exciting Castlevania adventure yet! The year is 2035 and Soma Cruz is about to witness the first solar eclipse of the 21st century when he suddenly blacks out--only to awaken inside a mysterious castle. As Soma, you must navigate the castles labyrinths while confronting perilous monsters at every turn. But beware, you must escape before evil consumes you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Two GBA classics in one package, May 19, 2006

By	N. Durham "Big Evil" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Pretty much anytime Castlevania makes an appearance on a hand held, you know it's going to be sweet. This double pack features both Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow; two of the best games to ever be released for the GBA. In Harmony of Dissonance, you play a descendent of the Belmont clan, armed with your trusty whip, while Aria of Sorrow takes place in the future. In both games, you storm a foreboding castle and take on hordes of murderous monsters and beasts as you navigate through the labyrnth-like castle. The graphics, sound, and control in both games are superb 2-D blasts, and are two of the best Castlevania games ever designed. If you missed out on both games when they were first released, consider this your second chance to pick them up, and if you're still holding on to your GBA and are craving some fantastic side scroller action, look no further.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2 classics for $30 dont miss out again!, January 14, 2006

By	michael myers - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Aira of sorrow and harmony of dissoance were originaly released a few years back on gameboy advance but due to limited printing of the carts the only way to play them was to pay a stupid amount of money for a second hand copy(unless you purchased them when they first came out).

Anyway here is the chance to redeam your sins and pick the games up the second time round.

Castlevania is a explration game much like Metroid, you explore draculas castle but not all areas can be accessed at once. During your explration you will upgrade your wepons,level up, collect souls/books and fight many well thought out bosses.

Harmony of dissoance uses a boos system where you collect books hidden around the castle and by combining books you upgrade your wepon allowing you to progress.

Aria of sorrow uses a soul system, by defeating bad guys some times there souls will release and each soul gives you a different ability or attack and there are loads to collect alowing you to progress through the castle.

Both games contain severial endings bad and good ones the bad ones are usally easy to get but the good ones will require you to collect certian souls and compleate extra areas of the castle.

I really cant recomend these games enough konami is a great developer and 2d castlevania is what they do best so grab a copy now before they become rare again im sure you dont want to be paying $90 on ebay next year.

Aira of sorrow is the prequal to dawn of sorrow on Nintendo DS so check that one out to, also circle of the moon the first GBA castlevania.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best GBA games you've never played, March 21, 2006

By	Brian M. Gasper "Brigula" (Clarkston, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I was very excited to see Konami release this double-pack. Finding these games at a reasonable price before this release was next to impossible. First off I'll start with HoD. Graphically near similar to PS1. Deepest game of the three for GBA. Castle exploration was a lot of fun with neat secrets. Fairly difficult but not that tough. Music is average GBA quality. Story is negligible but if you played any modern Castlevania then you know what to expect. Replay value is excellent. Castle is huge. Worth purchase by itself but then you get a whole other game. AoS takes the game into a more modern setting with a new feature of soul consumption making it's replay value next to none in excellency. Graphically superior to most GBA games and near PS1 quality. Sound is Okay. Music repeats often. But good for GBA. Smaller castle than HoD but not by much. More linear than other entries. You are never really in over your head so difficulty is minor for veterans. Just make sure you got the right soul for the job. Both games are lots of fun. Especially, if you like Metroid games than this should be your next purchase. On my 10 best for all systems. Can't beat the value of 2 games in 1. If you get sick of one play the other. I play these on my DS and have no problem with controls or battery life. A must for long trips or short bathroom visits. Highly recommended.
